Double post

It was jason ryles fault

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Watch discussion on the draft die now

 

[Eels Dude]

Wonder if it was a chicken wing, grapple or crusher.

 

[gronkathon]

Good the Storm got the release out quickly. Best to stay on top and be proactive.

 

[Patorick]

Who had round three in the office pool?

 

[Grapple]

Time for Will Chambers to get a run.

 

[Lowdown]

No..Dane Neilsen will simply come back in. Blair didn't have a great game..but was a great player last year. I think his injury last year cost us a Grand Final. That and Beau Champion replacing him.

Let's hope his career is not toilet.

 

[Grapple]

Even without those missing teeth? Surely it'd take a couple weeks with surgery/replacement wouldn't it?

 

[Tigger Madness]

Wonder if it was a chicken wing, grapple or crusher.

Chin Strap I reckon. David Furner was the alleged victim.

 

[gronkathon]

Not surprised. The Gold Coast strip has turn to shit.

Turned?

Been a shit tip for as long as I can remember

 

[BunniesMan]

Not the sort of thing you'd associate with Bellamys' players. Hopefully he's innocent.

The scumbags in the media have been waiting for this.

We've had a pretty good run of late with regards to incidents though.
