Exactly.

Then there's the whole "time off while lining up for a conversation". But only if it's in the last 5 minutes of a game, and only if the scores are tight.
Otherwise, take your sweet time.
Lotsa rules seem different in last 5 minutes of play LOL

Also lotsa rules change based on field position. As if 2 point field goal kickers haven't had blockers FCOL!

The

Storms haha.
$5 tees at magic round ..I would have punched fletch in the dick if I saw him .
Those flogs didn't even coin that. My earliest memory of anyone saying Storms is of Brandon Smith doing it while he was still there years ago. Plagiarising MJS cunks.

Jacob Preston….. he’s a real goer, a cracking prospect…. But….

His over the top gestures and celebrations, the Penrith-style fake America gang handshakes and carry on, jumping on top of teammates as high as you can when they score…. I can just tell that he’ll call everyone ‘bro’ or ‘brah’….. He’s at almost Chad-like levels of tryhardery, trying to be part of the Westy yeah, nah, Cuz Bro Brah gang….

And get your f**king hair cut you monumental knob.

Actually, come to think of it, NRL player haircuts (and then the dickheads around the world copying them) is definitely something else to add to the list….. I’d lose my shit if a teammate of mine turned up with a mullet, a rats tail, or some of the other monstrosities we see…. Get your hair cut, short, nothing fancy, roll up your sleeves and work your knackers off…. Turn up with a shit stylish hair do and you get pinned down by the team and a blade zero all over, including eyebrows

It's the wispy, caterpillar-like mustaches for me.
If you can grow one, knock yourself out.
If not, shave the f*&king thing off.

At least 3 Sharks had man buns, Carrigan style, in the Flegg yesterday. FMD I hate those things. At least one of them is a really good player though.

I’m being dead set serious, I couldn’t give a shit how good the player, if he’s got a tw@t haircut, I don’t want them in my team.

The electrician you’ve been chasing for days finally turning up then cutting power exactly when Rookie of the Year is about to be announced.

Here’s a controversial one….

Doing a ‘haka’ for every pissing moment in life…. Player makes his debut, let’s do a haka for him. Player retires, let’s do a haka for him. Player wins an award, let’s do a haka for him. Player lets out a silent but dealt fart, let’s do a haka for him….

Get it’s an important part of culture for certain communities, but it’s getting to the point where I think it’s not being done for genuine reasons, it’s been done for mates/family to muscle in on the occasion and get 30 seconds of attention and some insta ‘likes’.
It’s that time of year again where this one comes to the fore for me…. I reckon I’ve seen about 20 hakas over the past couple of weeks as teams seasons are ending and players are retiring, moving on, or winning awards….. The Daly M one was cringey as feck….

And whilst I’m here… another one that’s getting on my wick (and this could just be a U.K. thing).
Ex-players setting up businesses as ‘business consultants’ and talking like they’re the next frigging Steve Jobs….
Over here we’ve got Adrian Morley (one of my favourite ever players, a great bloke to go on the beer with, but one who can barely string 2 sentences together), Barrie McDermott and quite a few other ex-players (who’ve all been big on the after dinner scene) constantly posting ‘inspirational’ business guff advice on LinkedIn and selling offering their consultancy services….
I get they’ve played sport at elite level and probably have some good teamwork messages, but they’ve never run a business, they’ve never had a proper job, they’ve never had to deal with corporate bullshit, f**k off making out like you’re some business messiah

Been in the trenches on the field, but not in the corporate world - dealing with customers, IT flogs who want to rule the world, backstabbing staff, new age youngsters who would rather go to a purple day, rainbow day morning tea than rip in…… the list goes on.
I can’t wait to retire…
