The only times Craig Gower has ever broken sweat was when he was groping the teenage daughter Wayne Pearce, or chasing Mitchell Pearce around with a bottle before vomiting on him, or streaking around a resort nude, then stealing and crashing a golf cart, or holding a butter knife to the throat of a Sydney radio personality before throwing it at resort guests and engaging in a brawl with resort security prior to being ejected from the official function and being detained by the police, or when allegedly trying to kiss a man before biting him on the neck and sparking a brawl, or when assaulting another man.

Etc

I enjoyed the game.

Sam still has plenty to learn but did as well as could be expected on his debut

Dear Mr Evening:

Wayne Pearce was never a teenage daughter, nor was he even a cross dresser, at the time of the incident you refer to. He was a famous former rugby league player. It was his daughter who was being groped.

Craig Gower regularly broke a sweat when playing for the London Broncos. However he had no time for the then coach, super laid back New Age disciple, Anthony Rea, who disrespected Craig's disciplinarian approach to the captaincy of the Broncos.

Ha ha, good point!

ive seen plenty of boring SL games in recent years, maybe we should do a thread about that instead of obsessing about union?

Difference being, we judge a game against SLs normal standard, even then the most boring SL match is light years better than the fayre served up in Union

To you, maybe.

Doesn't mean all League fans have to carry that opinion. I've seen some pretty entertaining games of Union that were way ahead of some of the dross served up in SL.

ive seen lots of decent ru games, but my point was how come some posters would rather constantly discuss failings of other sports (that have an international footprint we can only dream about) than focus on ours. it smacks of an inferiority complex

That's exactly what it is. RL as a sport attracts the jealous, chip on the shoulder, class warrior types it deserves.

No wonder blue chip companies shy away from it.

In Your Opinion!

Of course!

And apparently the opinion of the major blue chip sponsors too!

No they just enjoy the corporate hospitality and don't know didley about sport!
If they did they'd be somewhere else.
