Why don't the Sharks get any respect in this comp?

Cats
Warriors
Sharks

Its cause they play in a weaker confrence. And I hate the Sharks.

Tomahawk, will any Glen Mills employees be reffing the Grand Final this year if Glen Mills is playing?

probably, unless your club has recriuted and trained referees. until they do , shut up, behave and be thankful there are refs, or go back to your stella career elsewhere.

I do not want to get involved but I dosen't matter where an ref "works"
Any AMNRL referee is able to ref any game in the League. To suggest otherwise is disrepectful to the refs.
We need more clubs to put up one person to ref and bashing them like this dosen't help.

exactly spinner

by the way fat slow front rower, i am the Ugandan Giant fool.
my relevance is you can criticise refs when you name all the ones you train and provide.

We have John Ryan, best in the League, and for those of you at the Grand Final last year would know exactly what I mean. I think the ref of the game trys hard and is good ref but was put in awful position against several of his co-workers, which was unfair to everyone playing especially him.

Kamala, why are you so bitter that you lost last friday night? I guess I would be bitter too if I lost and I had the french on my side.

not bitter, the better side won. how many games has mr ryan reffed this year. is he better than rob irwin, a qld cup ref.
we are very happy with the french, they are playing better rugby than you have ever been capable of.

John Ryan, reffed 2. I agree with you about Rob Irwin.

How do you know anything about how I play?

Do you even make it off the bench?

not often, but never implied i was any good. give me your playing credentials and i will stack them against our french guys, who have done great things coaching and helping off the field. they alsoprobably get more girls than you. but i think you might be a bati boy, and in that case our rocco gets more guys than you!

I've been on Tomahawk tour(got my ass kicked), and invited to other but work commitments held back.

Its great to know the knights/old blue have yet another benchwarmer to hang on every forgieners balls that come into the country.

When they speak to you in french do you blush?

old blue might "hang onto foreigners balls" but not the knights. most of our foreigners are here for work, our team always has more american born players in the starting lineup than our foreigners.
i heard that on that tomahawk tour they took anyone who could pay the airfare, and,exactly, you got smashed.
like i said you are jealous because you are fat and cannot make the run on side yourself!!!hahaha!!!!!!!!!!
you look like you eat too much french pastry
bon appetite, fatty!

You have no idea which one, and if they would take anyone where you asked?

Which tomahawk team hasn't gotten smashed in Oz?

I'm sure that you guys favor Americans. Its very evident in your side.

Run on side for who? You must not be able to see well from the bench. But thats ok your season will over on friday anyway.

This argument was not appropriate in a thread on the playoffs.

I hope it is good natured banter - I can never tell with you guys.

Its rare to see Kamala (you big ugandan tool I mean fool.)
get off the bench but I have seen him play. He's a defensive specialist
with a mad flick pass.

First the ref in last years Grand Final was Ryan McGough

Gram Desmond, who is a Glen Mills employee, refereed the All Star game, which was the certain raiser to last year Grand Final. Gram is not referring this year. When Gram referred he was very fair, and never refereed in favor of the Bulls. The ref should never be a factor of the game. I think you are just using him as an excuse.

Rob Irwin is probably the best referee in the league. The Knights are one of the few teams who have stepped up to the plated, and gotten a referee. The Sharks have Bill Bowen, and the Axeman have a referee in training, and is going to be very solid next year.

The Wildcats have now been in the league for 3 years now, and this is the 1st time I have ever herd about you guys supplying a referee. I know Ben Kelly has refereed several matches and refereed some good matched.

Question for you slow front rower; Why has Dave Nui had to driven to Conn. to referee a match? Please do not say this has not happened, because it has happened several times.

Someones been talking to Nui

No have not seen or talked to him since practice this morning.

I am so tired of people using Gram as an excuse why they loose. The Bulls have even used Gram as an excuse. But like I have said the ref should never be a reason why you loose a game. The ref should not even be a factor in the game.

Rob is probally the best ref in the AMNRL right now. I wish more teams would go out and provide at least one ref. I think next year every team should have to provide at least one ref.

As for Dave I know he has traveled up north to ref a match, this year and other years.

Stop your bitching and provide your own ref. Also a good team never lets the ref be a factor of the game.

As most of you are aware, and the people that do not know the Glen Mills Bulls are all staff member at the Glen Mills School. So we do not have the large pool of players to pull from, like other teams do.

The Glen Mills Bulls have two foreign players this season. Those two players are Scott Nicholes and Jason Gangaram. Now I know everyone is saying what about Dave Nui and Marcus Vassilakopoulos. They are both U.S. citizens, and live and work in the US.

So why don’t we come up with numbers from other teams of foreign players.

Wildcats –
Raiders –
Warriors –
Braves –
Knights -
Bulls – 2
Sharks –
Fight –
Axeman –
Slayers -
Manta Rays –

And by the way the Bulls practice 3 times a week. We train Tuesday morning at 7:00 am, before most guys have to be at work, Wednesday at 12 noon, during lunchtime, and again Friday mornings at 7:00 am.

Welcome to the world of rugby league. When you start bitching about referees and their possible/perceived biases you know you've made it.
