Joel Thompson and Bronx are total idiots.....they need to cancel their twitter accounts.

I rarely read tweets that were worth reading in the first place let alone retweeted so they end up in my World
I get the distinct feeling with Twitter that 95% of users should cancel their accounts
 

big hit!

If he plays again, good luck to the next dumb pricks that think he won't drag their joint into the toilet.

the entire rugby league fraternity has to make a stand here. problem is, the blokes who run or coach clubs are just as f**king stupid as the players. the NRL will have to step in to ensure he doesn't get another gig.

Glad he is gone. Sick to death of these dickheads in our game. More clubs should take a harder line and they might soon learn about behaving like adults.
it's actually become embarrassing when folks I meet find out that i enjoy rugby league. perhaps it's because I live in the inner city/west, but more and more folks around my area and my work set are turned off by the sport. diehards on here or the DT reading bogans who live and breath rugby league 24 hours a day, or live in the heartlands of the game don't get this.

the bogan, amateur, f**ktard culture of rugby league had to change years ago. it still has no class, from juniors who punch on regularly at park football, to many of the dickheads that represent the game at the highest level.

The simple fact of the matter is is that Carney has had more chances at a fairytale redemption story than any other player in the NRL.

How the f**k is it, that a player with as much talent as he has can piss on the NRL (yeah yeah, whatever) so many times and expect things to happen differently when he goes and does something he knows is stupid? And he does know it, I refuse to believe a guy that can come across as so down to earth when he isn't on the piss (Yep) can be that geniused. If he thinks so little of being a superstar player in one of the biggest sporting codes in the country than he deserves to be exactly where he is.

Todd, if by some miracle you're reading this, you have taken what could've been a solid gold career and thrown it into the dirt mate. For your own sake post football, I hope you take a long hard look at yourself because there won't be a 4th time lucky unless Ricky Stuart is desperate enough to throw you a bone.

As for Cronulla, not much more can be said about them that hasn't already been said. Everything we've heard this year coming out of that club has been nothing impressive. They have ASADA circling them like vultures over a carcass, they are being coached by a dude who couldn't give a f**k and they couldn't pay anyone themselves to put their logo on their jerseys just to save face.

I legit feel sorry for all of those clubs like North Sydney and potential clubs like the Pirates who are serious about being a brand that can bring about real positive change in the NRL who have to sit back and watch this circus drag on year after year. It is not a good look for the competition, and I know the Shire fans hate hearing it and I would too, but even they cannot deny at this point that this is becoming a joke.

Alas, it's just another week in the life of a rugby league fan. Another extremely talented young player has pissed away (yep, whatever) their career and probably their future and a club that refuses to get their shit together has let him slip through their fingers and it has made both him and them look like absolute tits. I love Rugby League and I always will but it is fair dinkem full to the brim with some of the biggest wankers you will ever see and something must be done to curb this rot.

This specific thing or that he would f**k it up?

Whatever the root of his self-destruction is, pouring alcohol on top is pretty obviously not the answer. No one can take away whatever's lurking in his past and no one can change the genes that make him who he is. But for f**k's sake surely there could be a way of someone making him realize that for him, grog is only EVER going to make it worse?

Having said that, he's an adult and he makes his choices. The consequences don't just affect him, they affect the fans of the clubs he plays at, the sponsors and the sport that pays him very well. Unless Canberra can get him for a song (assuming they want him) this should be the end of the line for him as an NRL player.

Oh, you're a Broncos fan. It all makes sense now.

What a load of shit.

Your club is owned by a bunch of merkins that make their money shitting on the game on a regular basis. Your clubs indiscretions would be exposed as well if it didn't affect uncle ruperts back pocket.

Anyone want a bog average second rower/centre with limited IQ who occasionally pulls off a big hit?


Best not to take any notice of gypsy. Likes to pick fights, throw a barrage of insults and "wtf?" comments, and then imagine he's winning.

NRL straight in your mouth

Give yourself a triple for that one. :lol:

For what it is worth, thanks. Friday I had a grin ear to ear and was floating, come Saturday evening it's all 'oh here we go again'. It just never seems to end with us, and just when we think things cannot get any worse, we find a way!

Konrad was fined firstly. Secondly, most blokes have enjoyed a fair few of them. I doubt any poster on here has weed in their own mouth so one is a fairly normal function, albeit he shouldn't have let it get online, the other is a disgusting freak show. Thirdly, it was Konrads first offence.

Speak for yourself mate, i piss in my own mouth all the time especially when im laying in the bath or when my mrs wants to give me a mouthful, there are probably hundreds on this forum that do the same.

That's the risk you take with signing serial offenders, especially ones that take their second/third chances for granted and have no intention of wising up. We were going to sign Dugan until he mouthed off on Instagram, Dragons took that risk and he seems to be behaving himself fortunately.

Carney will never learn.

Yup, he seemed fairly subdued off the field last year, but this year with all the disruptions he seems to have fallen back into his best off field form.
Still like with Bird I think we have gone overboard on the disciplinary action and it will be another teams gain in the future.

Since players can't get it into their thick heads that they represent a brand that can be damaged by their behavior, there clearly needs to be a blanket alcohol ban during the season. Don't like it? Feel free to pursue a career in brick laying.
