NRL 2019

Meanwhile, not only are Aussie league players a bunch of thick scumbags, their league media also keep going out of their way to prove they're thick as fuck as well. Some of the shit that rolls out of Buzz what-his-fucking-names' gob and down his chin sounds like it was dreamed up by a 5 year old. The hosts on 360 are generally pretty good and that show is about the only thing I enjoy about the NRL season, but they seem intent on dumbing it down by having that miserable old git as a guest.

i can't stand that fucking show. Ikin is a deadshit. Kent is a massively arrogant fuckwit. Buzz is just a bitter drunk. Who else do they have? Luke Lewis used to be on there, who is okay.

The NRL media appear to exist to run the game down at every opportunity, and then express surprise that their constant attacks sway public opinion (see their constant attacks on refereeing).

The best league stuff I hear is on radio sport breakie with Vossy. I know he can be a bit much at times, but he's got great oil and is very up front with his biases. Unlike other commentators who don't even know that word exists!!

Warriors winger Patrick Herbert, who showed promise in the preseason games, is now accused of assaulting a 19 year old. It's claimed his mom helped out too.

I saw a screenshot of the Facebook post on a league forum the other day - but I can't remember where now and the article says its been removed.

I'll admit I don't know much about him, he really only popped up one people's radars because he got more game time than other wingers in the preseason (Fusitua and Maumalo got limited time since they're starters).

Could come down to a management decision of "is he worth the hassle?".

From the article looks like the Warriors seem ok with the situation, he approached them to let them know what happened straight away - and I guess no one knows any facts (e.g. and I'm just speculating here, the 19 year old could have been drunk and acting a dick head so Herbert and his Mum kicked him out and it got a little heated through to Herbert assaulted him).

I thought Herbert might have been one of your favourites actually. Apparently he's had raps on him for a few years now.

@Nepia He was at St George up until this season and I don't really follow their development system.

Wasn't he with the Warriors before that? Or did I miss-remember reading that somewhere?

You're thinking of Leeson Ah Mau.

It made family gatherings very confusing as a child.

A league player in an off field incident ? No way !!!!!

ffs, this shit just doesn't end!

Ikin and Kent are rightly laying into Gould on 360 right now

I'm curious about the opening round match ups, and what they say about the clubs involved. Roosters VS Rabbitohs, Panthers VS Eels, Tigers VS Sea Eagles and Broncos VS Storm are all known rivalries What's the full draw? Have the NRL pitched the Dogs up against the Warriors because they see this as a battle of two low-brow / lower socio-economic (predominant Bankstown and South Auckland supporter bases), even dare I say 'ethnic' based clubs??

The Dogs are shit and we don't matter. Perfect.

That could easily be it. Shuffle the worst Sydney team off to Auckland for the weekend. Outta sight, outta mind.
