I guess all sports team players spend alot of time naked around each other so it may be a norm, does seem weird to me and yeh, growing up in Hull pulling your todger in front of your mates would have got you a kick in the nether regions pretty sharpish!

loved hull a real RL town and that story epitomises it

i remember i was drunk off my nut in one of the pubs at 2 in the morning and feeling a little homesick and i looked up on the wall and there was this board with the fixture list of Hull FC and KR and i thought yeah, they love their RL here

really liked hull, tbh other than leeds it was the only town in the north i liked a bit

As my home city I always will have an affection for Hull but it is one of those cities that is so bad its good! Despite all the social problems and "roughness" the people are the most down to earth and willing to help each other (reminds me of the Aussie way alot) and yes it is pure RL for may people. Families are mired in the red and white/black and white divide. So much so that when I used to go to derby games with my uncle as a wee nipper I had to walk on the other side of the road to him as he was FC and me and my sister supported KR! If they lost he refused to talk to anyone during Sunday dinner at my grannies! They talk about the derby rivallary in Perth for the AFL teams but it does not come close to the lead up to a Hull derby, especially if it is a big game.

that derby game i went to at the KC was one of the best RL games ive been too

24,000 Hull RL fans made as much noise as 73,000 aussies at dogs vs eels

a very special game

JB there's only ONE derby in British RL and that's Saints v Wigan and you know it.

bah, you can't beat a same city rivallary!

Best RL car sticker I ever saw.....
Leeds Bradford? That's a small international Airport.
Wigan St Helens...now that's a derby



Back on thread......I have no doubt that what the AFL and NRL players get/got up to were all very disgusting and terrible, but I am more concerned that anyone thinks that the press are being paid off not to report these things.




As it is, the AFL nude photo thing with the pix on facebook got more coverage over here in NZ than Mons 1 man and his dog show.

Both codes have issues with player behaviour...but let's be honest, these guys are hardened sports professionals who are not employed for their common sense...they are going to mess up. Dependin on what paper you read and where that paper is based/who owns it, you will always get differing coverage....it's really not a major conspiracy, just a fact of life.

as usual gutters knowledge is nil

the AFL spent lots of money each year buying favourable editorial coverage from aussie media

if you doubt this go on any aussie RL chat site and ask the question then come back and admit that yet again, youve failed

cash for comments.

Dirty merkins.

I rest my case..........forfuxsache....if you believe everything you read you're naive...but if you believe what you read in an RL chat site....all hope is lost.


="dally messengergo on any aussie RL chat site '"

this is why i told you not to post on the nrl

because you are so ignorant you are misinforming the forum

the AFL has admitted they pay for favourable editorial comment
