    Hoppa not pulling punches

    Just to make clear, none of my above jokes about Hoppa are in any way intended to be an attack on him. He's got real guts and determination that I admire and aspire to. And he's maintained dignity in response to a massive, massive public overreaction from people with prudish holier-than-thou...

    MSE posting rules

    On the surface, the MSE site has this year taken a major step in a positive direction by informing fans what they will be banned for. These published zero tolerance offenses are fair enough: • swearing, foul, offensive, overtly sexual or inappropriate language and images...

    Same problems.

    Enjoyed the match even if we got smacked. Lockyer was on fire. I was beginning to wonder if he'd lost it. Their forwards were dominating. They were hungry and sprinted in attack. Their kicking was spot on. Painful bits included watching our poor handling and our defence looked...

    Monas - 80minutes

    I felt Beaver was the standout in defence and Monas in attack tonight. Monas' long kick from dummy half is invaluable. I'd be reluctant to encourage him to chip kick. His setup of our last try was great. As for moving to 5/8th? Definitely NOT on the same side of the field as the Ox. Ox...

    Hoppa not pulling punches

    Sorry, guys, I'm on a roll. I'm enjoying it anyway. Many people are wondering what style of boxing Hoppa will adopt. There's the out-fighter, like Muhammed Ali and Larry Holmes, who maintain a gap and pick off their opponent. Hoppa could do that because he's good at jabbing. Then...

    How do you know about the Stonewall Gronk?

    Hoppa not pulling punches

    I just hope Hoppa has been tactically well-coached. If not, here's my advice: Boxers generally attempt to land short, fast combinations and then quickly shift position to avoid a possible response by their opponent. Strategically, the ring's centre is a desired position since a boxer is...

    Hoppa not pulling punches

    You've got a wicked mind, CW. But seriously ... If you thought people couldn't believe what they were seeing when Hoppa unveiled his jab, imagine when he perfects the hook!

    Hoppa not pulling punches

    Could get a bit crowded if the other guy is getting in the ring with him. Especially if they're both wearing gloves.

    The eight clubs who were against a rise in March were Parramatta, Cronulla, Canberra, Manly, Dragons, Bulldogs, Wests Tigers and Souths. The NRL is fully funding the increase with increased grants.

    $4m Salary Cap

    Very interesting NRL bosses meeting today with a lot of issues including: $4m salary cap - what a good time to be negotiating a player contract. Significant implications for player movements - Gasnier, Tonga, Lyon, etc. Gasnier would obviously have been forewarned. Compulsory player...

    Banned Again :(

    But they explained what you did wrong, how it breached posting rules, how you can correct it next time, and when you'll next be allowed back on didn't they? And what you did was a significant sin, wasn't it? Damaging to the club and all. And the action in banning you was a fair and...

    Ha! - Crocker gets 9 weeks

    Flowers' best defence to the leniency of the Gregan tackle is that Union is being consistent!!!!! http://www.rugbyheaven.smh.com.au/news/super-14/flowers-defends-gregan-decision/2006/05/09/1146940535180.html Flowers defends Gregan decision Tuesday, May 9, 2006 ... Flowers said...

    Ha! - Crocker gets 9 weeks

    Exactly right CW. And the Aussies (Brumbies?) told them they had the wrong bloke before Oliver was cited - but they went through the farce anyway.

    John Williams - Eels PL Winger.

    Smith is unbelievably bad so far this year. Maybe he got lazy and did nothing in the offseason. The Parra supporters are suggesting this John Williams fellow is a youngster who's big, strong, fast, a goalkicker & injury prone.

    Union don't want Gaz

    Union don't want Gaz A shame as I'd love to see the Wallabies smash the All Blacks et al - and he'd certainly help. But he's stuffing them around & I think they've made the right decision. Increases the likelihood of Manly signing Lyon.
