Is Riley Brown not a Rooster?

Idiot.

It was controversial because Jason Taylor whinged and carried on like a sook. If he had said nothing and got on with it, then nothing would have been made of it, therefore controversy was not started by the Roosters or Riley Brown.

The whole Riley Brown tackle caused a stir following Round 1 and would've with or without Jason Taylor's input.

Cowboys could add on a Sione car crash then leaving the scene and turning up to the police station 10 hours later with alcohol in his system. Although never know Sione could of went home and had a few to calm the nerves.

Inserted because his case was heard this year. Did you miss that?

yet you were just on about an incident not making your silly list because it actually happened last year

You do know he plays for them now. A player from the Titans involved in a rape case brings the Titans into the story by association. One could argue that the Tigers shouldn't be associated with the story as he has no links to them anymore.

you just got stupider

you could argue that it shouldn't be linked to the Tigers, but not the Titans lol

who was he under contract to when he was accused?

Where did I state they were incidents? You really just like to argue for the sake of it don't you?

incidents/controversy or whatever

your list is a joke

As for the Broncos:

Bennett vs. The Broncos Board. It started in 2006 when Bennett went beind the clubs back to discuss a possible deal with the Roosters. It escalated in 2007 when Bennett shocked the children (according to Razor) and didn't acknowledge anyone when he received a special award from Bruno Cullen. In 2008 word got around about the Thorough Breeds and how they were paying Bennett $100K in cash. So I suppose you can argue that the conclusion of this feud was a sour note for the Broncos.

Also Bennett's apparant raiding of the club. Acquiring Jeremy Hicksman and Darius Boyds services for next year caused a stir in the media.

Justin Hodges' gesture to the referee.

As I said at the time, if someone like Frog had done the same to Mini, the lot of you would have been bleating from the rooftops.

As stated earlier, it has happened 100 times since Round 1 and there are only 2 reasons why it was contrversial:

1. Craig Wing was injured
2. Jason Taylor pissed and moaned and claimed that the Roosters players did it deliberately to hurt Craig Wing and saw the players "eyes light up" before the incident. And also claimed that the Roosters players communicated between themselves to calculate the exact time to hit Wing.

It was a fair challenge, sure its unsavoury but if it didnt result in an injury, f**k all would have been said.
