Redneck Redfaces

[POPEYE]

If it boils down to a pissing on the wall contest then I am the King Of Yabbies. Never bring a turnip to a gun fight. Too easy.

You're wearing me out. If I just pat you on the head instead of speaking to you will you stand by AG's side and be quiet . . . there could be an ice cream in it

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Gee that's ironic. My missus was just saying to me last night how in my old age I've mellowed when
confronting fools. I am confident that if your redneck hoard were standing in front of me you wouldn't
have the ticker to repeat a word . . . maybe this forum is like rehab for me

Geez, you're one tough hombre Poops. :lol:

Toooooooooooo eassssssssyyyyyyyy

 

[Cliffhanger]

Why did you cross the road looking for me. You should have stayed where you were. By the way, I've
always wondered which one you are in your avatar. You're not the one bringing up the rear because they can't talk

You'd know all about bringing it up the rear old man.

Don't do it SK! It's a trap!

HAHAHAHA... this thread is GOLD.

Just a coincidence that we have been shown a ticking time bomb and a bucket of water to put it in?
A bunch of 'Everyone Does It' men being ostracised for six months and some salary cap fines to show all is good.

I sometimes wonder how much Rooster, Eels, Raiders, Seagles and Doggie supporters would have enjoyed having
Gallop around since the early '70's. Gibson might have got away with his first year at the Roosters or the Eels but
keeping two of the greatest teams of all time intact after that?

All those homespun Dogs in the '80's would have to have been spread around amongst the also-rans to keep everything 'even'.
Imagine anything green in the '90's becoming a household name. Manly wouldn't have been very manly at all.
The great Bronco combinations speak for themselves.

Even this century the Roosters could have strung 3 or 4 pissant cups together with a decent coach . . . hang on a minute.
That reminded me of Bruno, Arko, Nick, Bullfrog, Fitzy and Donny. They would of found a way around

If there was no salary cap around the Storm wouldn't have won any premierships. They MAY have acquired all of the big 4 (even that is doubtful) but they wouldn't have got most of the other key players to their success.
Roosters would have loved to have kept Crocker, Canberra probably hang onto Cross as with the Knights and Quinn. Turner was a promising Penrith junior and was probably a tough decision to let him go, the same with Hoffman and the Tigers. I'm sure there are more examples.
This is all theoretical of course, but all those Storm supporters who go on about how bad the salary cap is forget that it is the salary cap that allowed them to form such a formidable side in the first place.

 

[POPEYE]

I must get someone to teach me how to do those link thingo's. Seems talking with pictures is akin to having
a mobile phone which I don't carry either. Anyway, Roy Masters in his Herald column about tv rights is worth a read for those who missed it.

I really wish Poxeye would stop hijacking my thread.

Anyone want to talk pissants, yabbies, racism, outdated ideas, Bellamy and ice cream feel free to stay. The rest of you go and stand in front of Popeye.

Gee, that's grasping at straws saying the players you mentioned were stolen away in the night.
Maybe when they're dead they will reach cult status in the retelling of the Storm saga. The salary cap
was brought in to prevent the great teams from ever appearing again.

What I'm saying is that the Storm were guilty as charged legally but not morally because they didn't poach.
The Eels didn't poach, Raiders didn't poach, Doggies didn't poach. Now, they have to because the expenditure
in effort involved in doing it the right way has been made null and void.

If people like their teams made up of strangers, so be it. I can live with that . . . the main reason coaching
interests me more than teams. What really gets my goat is that people want to believe that they're not naive
enough to be convinced there's only one bad apple in a barrel where the apples have been around for years.

Don't for one minute think you are capable of hijacking anything. I only reply to you so you don't go away.
I want you to think about that

Let me guess - too easy :roll:

Now let's complain about the storm and the injustice of the salary cap.

Hmmmm ice cream...I'd have to say that's not enough.

But if you were to throw in a few turnips, yabbies AND A BUCKET OF YOUR WORLD FAMOUS SHIZNIT CHICKEN...THEN I'D SAY IT'S A DEAL.

ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME TO ENJOY THE FULL FLAVOURED AWESOMENESS OF POPEYE'S CHICKEN:

If I thought you'd understand my previous post I wouldn't have taken the risk

I think he likes you AG

I'm trying to juggle two forums and build a set of stairs so I might have a break. Lastly, for a while anyway,
Manly would have won by more last night if they had of played in their usual colours. I can't understand why
a team would play in unaccustomed colours in such a big game.

Who is going to look for someone wearing cherry chip chocolate mousse to pass the ball to for f**k sake

No worries POPEYE. While you're gone we'll water the turnips so they grow up into big yabbies ripe for Bellamy's harvest. We'll be here when you get back ol' mate. Have a nice stroll up the grassy knoll and make sure you send our best regards to the immigrants arriving in their boats if you see them.

I'm not saying they were stolen away in the night. I'm saying players were acquired because of salary cap restraints at other clubs.
As for the Storm not poaching, they did, otherwise we'd see a team full of Victorian juniors.
Going back to the days of developing juniors will never happen again, mainly due to teams like Melbourne.
Your contradictions astound me.

You misspelt burning cross redneck.

That's because you're a moron.

Ah, you're one of those who think juniors belong to someone other than themselves.

Beside that it appears you actually believe what you just wrote. The Storm don't have one player that every other team couldn't have had cheap as chips before they played NRL

Liked that 'burning cross' bit . . . had to wait the whole thread but there's something I could have used
