Opinions are like butt holes and it would seem that the Movie Going Public who dictate what a successful movie is by attending and pushing up the revenue, those who are deemed worthy of awarding accolades and the casting directors of major roles who award major paying roles to actors seem to agree with mine.

By the way, the exact point under debate was if he was "one of the biggest or all time", not if he is one of the biggest on the planet.


I'd love to hear you expand as to how my differing opinion in regard to the status of Crowe in terms of the history of male movie stars is proof of me being an idiot. Is it normal for you to call anyone who dares disagree with you an idiot? If so, you must do it regularly, because there are a great many debates on here where people have disagreed with you. I for one wouldn't be so arrogant as to call you or anyone else an idiot purely because I disagreed with them, but I see no other reason in this thread for you to come to this conclusion.
Nice name calling from a mod by the way, including the slipped in homophobic reference. I should stick a fork in you now because you're well and truly done.....

Is it because of my style of posting, it's content or a bit of both?
Genuine question by the way, because I believe that RL in England/Europe could be so much bigger and better if run properly, that the game has become far to beholding to SKY, that London being relegated could and should have been avoided, that the NRL isn't the holy grail that a great many posters on here believe, that comparing/laughing at Union does RL no favours as it rarely comes out looking anything other than insecure, that International RL is the best tool to grow the games popularity, that the RLIF needs to be a more powerful and totally impartial organisation, that the NRL and SL need to play by the same rules, that Russell Crowe is not one of the greatest actors of all time, that Saint Simon may have been a little premature, that the RFL needs to do more to attract more fans to games, more sponsors and corporates, that the past should be left where is is and not trawled up at the drop of a hat, that French Rugby League is not a basket case because of events 70 years ago, that the RFL need a total change of personnel, that London should have and should still be a centrally owned club like Melbourne storm was and pretty much all the other stuff that Gutterfax posted over the years.

Genuine answer. People get fed up with you because no matter what's being discussed, when you join in you'll try and shunt it over towards one of your repeated topics.... which you listed above.....with your often repeated answers that we've heard several dozen of times before and we either don't care for or are completely not applicable to the thread being discussed.

In all of the many posts you've had on here, it's always been 'marketing'......to which it's easy for you to claim from behind a keyboard that you're the dogs-go-betweens at in NZ, which is unprovable and could be a massive exaggeration. Not once have I seen you display any real or even basic knowledge of the sport of RL.

Perhaps that's why people really think so little of your posts, even if you like to convince and lie to yourself that people are upset with you because you're 'fighting the party line'

oh ffs!

Without reading all 7 pages of this thread, the one that's been annoying me this season is
"We're only two weeks in and already we're talking about the officials"
Well guys, stop talking about them.
There's very few blindingly obvious referee gaffs, but E & S jump on every decision. If a border line forward pass is penalised and its 50/50 whether we agree, that's just part of life. Eddie's on every decision - When Jamie Ellis clearly knocked the ball on over the line t'other week, Eddie wouldn't shut up about it. Commentators should be like the players, they should accept they can't change a refs mind and move on, not bang on like nitpicking the ref is the main event.

When Graham allegedly bit Slater in the GF, the commentators hardly mentioned it after the event, because they had a game to concentrate on.
