| Quote: JB Down Under "It ws Western suburbs or Orchard Park estate in Hull, Orchard park was more desirable!
'"
Hey! Don't diss Orchard Park Estate - I went to St John Fisher school there. Supposedly the worst estate in Europe. So 'tough' that as 10 year olds we used to walk alone delivering Christmas boxes to the elderly. It was the best school I ever went to. They taught us to to value people from every background and ability. Rich or poor. I'm now a self-employed Design Consultant. We played Rugby League under Phil Shaw and were city champions and cup winners beating our fierce rivals Eastfield in the process. Me and a mate got picked for Hull schoolboys and we went on to beat Wigan to become national champions. We were presented with the trophy at the old Craven Park - but we didn't let that spoil the occasion!
After this excitement we all went to Marist senior school where they only played Union against the posh schools. They wouldn't let us play League but we begged our teacher and he finally relented - organizing us a League match against 'Sydney Smith' school. Without realising he'd set up a massive grudge re-match against our old Eastfield rivals! This match was their "payback" for years of hurt. They were massive and hard (including a certain future Hull KR captain) and very bitter but we weren't going to relinquinsh our hard-won reputation. Let's just say it's the only match that I've played in over 20 years where it was abandoned after 20 minutes for a series of clashes leading up to a huge 30 man brawl. Even the subs all ran onto the pitch and started scrapping ! It was like a western. Suffice to say it would turn out to be the last game of Rugby League we played at Marist. But in another ironic twist we played them again at Union and won. Again...
Playing League gave me a huge lesson in life - at school, most lads thought they had to show they weren't weak. Rugby League shows you that if you are genuinely hard you don't need to prove it. Walk tall...

Ouch. There's a bit of biff, and there's setting on someone like animals. A few fisticuffs in the game is, to be fair, expected. I know they're kids, but they're old enough to now kicking a downed player is going too far.
One player (if you watch it, it's not hard to guess who) has been banned for 20 years. Another for 5 years, and 2 more for 2 years. The U-16s coach, who had been using offensive language and threatened the officials, has been sacked.
Good. The reasons we've been called Thugby League have been mostly eliminated, we don't need bloody petulant kids acting up like that.

Manager banned for 5 years, one player banned for 15 years for punching and kicking, three for two years for punching and intimidating behaviour, one for a year for 'gesturing', one for improper conduct in the tunnel, and one for four matches for entering the field without authority.
Another 3 banned for 20, 5 and 2 years respectively. 6 charged with assault and other offences and a spectator charged with affray...
Its going to get worse before it gets better.

I kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we knew

| I am stunned by that. I spend most of my free time watching Junior rugby as both my kids play. That has really disturbed me. It's a tough enough game without all that $hite.

| After seeing that, anything less than a total ban on every member of that team involved, whether holding a player or hitting a player, and a police investigation is inadequate.
If my kid was on the side being attacked I would not let it drop until they were hounded out of rugby and prosecuted for assault.
It's not just about giving the game a bad name, kids were attacked by thugs when they should have been protected. Simple as that. It's no different to some kids going to watch a game and getting mugged on the terrace. We would try and find them and get rid. No different just because they are wearing a shirt and rugby boots.
Anyone in the administation of the league or the club should be doing there absolute best to get rid.

| Quote: poor mountain kids "The poor Blue Mountains kids never stood a chance. Different culture, once that fight started it was like the Queen of England walking into a cage fight.
I'm glad the players were banned and I hope this at the very least gets the local leagues to put measures in place to stop this sort of thing happening again.'"
The cowards that attacked like dogs lost the game- if they were that tough they would have smashed the "poor mountain kids" during the game- No discipline and a lack of respect- which was reflected in their behaviour.

simpsons/simp048.gif I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!
Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.
