Don't worry, he doesn't bite. He just drools. You get that when you're a silly old f**k.

And you forgot toothless.

Calixte,

Gee, look at the calendar. It's 2006 already. Where have you been all this time?:lol:

I presume you are referring to the Vichy banning of rugby league in 1941?

Sad to say that the soiled history of rugby union in France stretches right up to the present day.

The fact morons like you disregard that fact reflects badly on your character.

Calixte,

One man's fact is another man's opinion. Give me some facts, and I will comment on them.

But the fact that the French apparently don't like rugby league very much is not my fault.

Nookie,

So. Is this really you? A future corporate lawyer, or whatever?

You will have to learn to deal with your elders and betters, sooner or later. Why not start now?

Dubby,

Have we ever talked?

Copa,

If the NRL, the clubs, and "all parties" ever agree on anything, you win.

But if there's so much money floating around, why all the fuss about the increase in poker machine tax? And why does South Sydney have to sell itself, with their Chief Executive in today's paper saying that he is focussed on paying next Friday's wages? What, exactly, am I missing in this wonderful story of financial plenitude?

Meanwhile, talking about "all parties" agreeing, what's the latest on the 2008 RLWC?

The poker machine tax ,is related more towards the contributions to junior sport,ranging from rugby league,netball,little athletics,softball for starters,and in some cases rugby union(heavens no :shock and charities,and club facilities.

Yes poker machine money is used to assist clubs.Just as my tax is used in the AIS,to assist rugby union grassroots.
The Brisbane Broncos privately owned,made a not insignificant profit,last financial year.NRL clubs will be getting an increase in grants $3m from next year I believe a result of the new TV deal)placing less reliance on poker machine money.At last reports Melbourne,Warriors had no poker machines.
South Sydney does not have to sell itself.It does if it wants to compete with the wealthier clubs.Check the Sea Eagles .What you are missing is out in this big world,there are more than a handfull of wealthy individuals ,who are prepared to use their hard earned on rugby league.
Any business is focussed in paying next weeks wages.Its called financial viability and cash flow.
The latest is the RLWC is a 10 team tournament,and will be held in 2008.Expect further info 29th March,and where you can buy tickets,so you can get in early.

At last report,history is fact.Your mob in France,a member of the "rugby family",abetted the Vichy govt in having rugby league banned and its assets seized,and eventually handed over to union.The French govt have acknowledged these misdeeds(through an enquiry conducted under mme Buffet a member of the previous Socialist govt) ,though lack the guts to rectify the situation.

Not a case of the French disliking rugby league,that code was during the early 40s challenging union in popularity(due to on field violence).You lose everything you are behind the 8 ball,and you get your best players poached for decades after that period,bit hard to support a code with 2nd string players at times.

Your code is culpable in France whether you stand on a pedestal /comment/that nobody cares and plead ignorance or throw up the 50s French league teams.A code receives stolen goods,it is hardly the epitomy of innocence.
Roy Masters,Thomas Keneally in your SMH ,have in the past brought up the subject.Its like.s...t ,it did happen.

Taipan,

Your point being? I should worry about what Keneally and Masters think?
Sorry, old mate. Water. Ducks' backs.

My point kind sir,is that you never hesitate in quoting the SMH as your "bible" and source of info relative to union and league,including Mr Masters.

That I have the audacity to do the same,on an historical incident,has hit a raw rah rah nerve with you.

More like water off a lame duck's back,as any future reference you come up with in the Herald, will now be treated with a grain of salt.
You are the master of generalisations,but defensively selective when history/facts are thrust in front of you.The old school tie is alive and well.:lol:

Taipan,

Surely it's time for you to get down to work, instead of frittering away your time here.

I read far more widely than just the SMH. I also look at the sporting news in the Sydney Daily Terrorgraph and The Oz. I read the UK Daily Telegraph and the New York Times on a daily basis, although there isn't much about The Great Game in either, I regret to say.

I have to say that, over many years, I have found the SMH to be a fairly reliable and unbiassed source of news.

My old school tie is from a State school, actually, albeit a selective one. I didn't really have a chance, did I?
