They had a competition on the coast to find a mascot. i considered submitting a griffin/gryphon/griffon (not relevant to the GC) however I thought it was a perfect fit for one simple reason: Brisbane V GC. I read somewhere that a griffin is meant to eat other small animals, and sometimes eats horses.

Should have went with Stingrays, or bought out the Dolphins name. Titans is sh*t.

Some of you really need to get a life. To hate a football team with such passion = unstable mental health. Go and see a doctor and get real. Or alternatively, do other things in your meaningless lives that doesn't involve 'watching' countless hours of football and you may realise that hating Parramatta or any team isn't as important as you thought.

I apologise for my statements if you are all under 12 yrs of age, as this behaviour could then be blamed on immaturity or raging hormones.

PS - is there anywhere I can go in LeagueUnlimited that has restrictions on minors posting?

****

This is what I was after, cheers.

I can't really hate the Titans though; I did try but I just can't. Bailey, Prince, Campbell are all champions and have earned respect.

That's a coach thing...Anderson thinks it is a good idea to keep Mortimer in the spotlight because it helps his confidence (so the theory goes). Plus he's more charismatic naturally than Cayless (with the media, anyway).

I despise this talk that Cayless isn't a good captain because he doesn't talk much. Cayless is a man of action. He plays Grand Finals with a bad hamstring. He plays Finals games with a broken arm. He kicks a match-turning field goal when we need it. He makes that try-saving tackle right on full-time. He pops that miracle offload that sets up a try.

Ask any of the Eels and they will unequivocally tell you the heart and soul of this club are the two Nathans. One seemingly looks more active (Hindmarsh), but only because he's always playing 80 minutes every week. Nathan Cayless is a great leader - I refer you back a few years when there was an in-goal blow-up between Riddell and someone else and all Cayless did was look at the blokes and tug on Riddell's shirt and everyone shut the hell up.

Hindmarsh and Cayless bust a gut every week for this club and deserve better.


As a captain cayless should be doing it... no matter what he likes or doesnt like.

Why does he have to? Some captains very rarely front the media; Cayless isn't alone on this.....
He's a very quiet person, and he does get involved in a lot of Eels media stuff, so he's hardly shirking his 'commitments'.....
He's a great captain and definitely has earned the record of longest-serving captain in NRL history, it's just an absolute shame that blokes like him-some of the real good guys of RL (alongside people like Hindy, Steve Price, Petero, etc)-haven't won a premiership.....

People saying he is a bad captain are out of their minds, or are just so anti-Parramatta that they don't give a F**K.
He captained New Zealand to winning the World Cup in 2008 you plodders, and if you ask any player in rugby league what they think of him they will say he is a great prop who has done nothing bad for the game in his whole career, and is a genuinely good guy.

I'm sure pretty much every team in the NRL would have loved to have someone like him playing for their side.....a great influence on younger players, very calm player, not afraid of the media, leads by example, and has been one of the great props of Rugby League. All the makings of a great captain......

Why? Hindmarsh offers quotes to the Footy Show and media in general far more often than Cayless does, and this was before he was named co-captain.

His captaincy is fine.

Parramatta. I don’t know why I hate you so much. Maybe it’s because I have a mate who is a fan and a total (lovable) merkin at the same time. Plus the whole Hayne hysteria thing in the media and Parra’s worthless bandwagon fans… not his fault I know but he is certainly a lazy, arrogant show pony who objects to being tackled every time.

What IS his fault is being a lazy, arrogant show pony who objects to being tackled every time. He either starts throwing surreptitious elbows that eventually result in penalties for Parra (good gamesmanship or poor sportsmanship + sh*t refereeing? Let’s examine the 2010 refereeing record and decide…) or he rises slowly from the turf, glaring at every player around him, shaking his empty head and dreaming of his inevitable AFL payday when he’ll surely never have to deal with being put on the turf again and can run around with his stupid arms out in a sleeveless vest after getting awarded a point for missing.


How wonderful it is to see the Parramatta season come to a sickening halt like a plane of some description (he went to stick his stupid arms out AGAIN tonight but thought better of it) ploughing into a mountain. How satisfying to see every Parra knock-on, forward pass, botched offload, etc. What gives Parra’s fans the right to be disappointed now that 2010 is apparently all over? What has their club actually done this season? Every time Parra gets a win or two the media falls over itself to huff the club’s wang and be seen to be doing it. This seems to translate to genuinely held belief that this (still) post-Sterling club can actually achieve something worthwhile any time soon… I mean it’s just sad. At least both of the Sharks’ fans have accepted their lot and are content to turn up for form’s sake.

When Parra leaks over eighty (80) points in two (2) games at the pointy end of the season against actual premiership contenders, where are the column inches and loud, breathless diatribes in the media? We’ll see if the rugby league pundits snap out of their collective Hayne-induced hypnosis and f**king tell it like it f**king is for once – Parra are a sh*t team of lazy merkins who don’t want to be there, who obviously care nothing for their fans, have recruited absolute dross in key positions while jettisoning their best home-grown talent, who have milked said media hype for all it’s worth (a lot) and convinced themselves said hype equals premiership credentials, who’ve relied too long on a single, flashy, grubby, diving gobsh*te (I hope the Hayne Complain moniker sticks from now on – good job Mr Badger) to make the rest of them look decent once in a while and who have continually let down the single good, honourable player they have been oh so lucky to have who, in his long career of consistent football could have won a premiership at just about any other club…

I realise I am sticking my neck out seeing as Parra could fluke a win against my team next week, setting off the whole Parra-as-premiers orgiastic media frenzy once more, but I just gotta say f**k you Parramatta you bunch of shallow, whiny, one trick ponies. The only thing I like more than seeing Parra lose is seeing Brisbane win, and if the world does indeed operate on a system of logical laws, I’ll get to see both at the same time in less than seven days.



Hay, you stupid inbreed c**k sucker, i just want to let that this is a good thread.... You dumb merkin

Yeah. I hate seeing my team lose, obviously. Especially to the team I hate the most at the moment. Doesn't change my thoughts about the Eels and the way the media fondles their genitalia.

Although I will say that Gould annoyed me just as much by constantly deathriding Hayne tonight. Stop talking about him like he's the only player in yellow and blue out there please.

Fair play to the Eels. They were the less bad team tonight and maybe they are still alive in 2010. I still hate them, Eels fans still hate the Broncos, and this thread is still correct.

And Gutt hates Parra because of the media. Why not just hate the f*cking media you turnip?????

Or do you hate Hayne for having a quiet one and still carving you up!

Face it - the Broncos need both Folau AND Inglis :lo:
