lol@mr unbiased himself Timmah having a crack at people whinging.

My issue is with people claiming the referees "handed the Eels the win". That might have been possibly true with a 24-22 or 22-20 scoreline... Parra won 28-16 and the Tigers weren't good enough.

Doesn't say anything as to whether the decision on Tedesco was shit or not - just that the Tigers don't deserve the win purely because they got shafted by a decision at some point during the game.

Not to quite the level your Cameron Smith video has, old bean! I'm seeing it all over the place!

570k views, 82 on my channel and 489 on the stolen Paul Gallen video. Probably more from other unfound stolen sources. The 60 minutes episode got 1.3m in the ratings. That's the goal now :lol:

It seems i've touched a nerve. Only problem is people commenting on my youtube channel thinking i'm Paul Gallen.

It's funny, because my sister got her Nail Art posted on a Zelda fan page, and got 4k likes. Everyone was pretty stoked for her, then my video comes out like it did. Kind of stole her thunder.

Everyone that argues like that have no concept of the Butterfly effect. They score that try, maybe the eels morale drops, and Tigers dominate? Maybe the tigers fire up and they pick up an injury? Maybe the game plays out as it did?

There's far too many variables to claim Parra were handed the game. It's the weakest argument, but one that is almost always defended to the death, because to admit otherwise is too painful.

Interesting day. We were the starting point for an ongoing crime spree, bloke stole a bottle of grog and then went on to try and rob/assault the butcher down the road, try and grab one of the girls at my gym, smash the door, throw bottles at random passers-by and then vanish when the cops came.

Also got a 100% serious offer to play fullback in first grade for one of the local RU clubs who are having a ridiculous injury crisis and have a poor Colts centre struggling at fullback

I remember a North Sydney v Roosters game from way back when. Was 0-0 when JT took a shot at goal and landed it, but the ref's waved it away.

Bears ended up losing something like 22-2 or some shit, but it was so early in the game that it really could have made a difference.

It's hilarious how many people believe Paul Gallen:

1. Watched the original footage.
2. Ripped the footage
3. Edited the footage
4. uploaded the footage at 5pm

All two days before origin. Some people man...

The only time you can say it actually effected the result is when it is a blatant f**k up right near the end of the game.
