COACH SLAMS CRITICS
Mzilikazi Assegais coach Jesus Jones has delivered a stinging rebuke to his critics for refusing to name his side until an hour before kick off and for hoarding players to retain depth.
"I'm not interested in other people's sour grapes" he said today from Hartsfield Stadium. "Our players are with us because they want to be with a professional set-up, not lumped away in some do-nothing club with a know-nothing coach."
"As Jason Ryles said to me yesterday, it's better to be in Premier League with the Assegais than starting for one of the other Motley Crues going around".
"As for suggestions I should name my side early - go and get stuffed".

Minichiello, Pyros to Fire
Prahran Pyromaniacs coach Boutros Boutros Ghali has named weather phenomenon 'El Nino' as Pyros mascot for 2007.
"I noticed that most of Victoria was as smoky as the pokie section of my local Tattersall's club over summer, because El Nino made the place as dry as a dead dingo's donger."
"If El Nino can help out pyromaniacs off the field, it seems to follow that it will help when they are on the field as well" Ghali deduced.
Pyros fullback Anthony Minchiello remained non-plussed at suggestions new Pyros home ground 'your mum's house' has been so named as part of an elaborate 'yo mama'joke, but was upbeat about returning to the leading tryscorer's list following an extended lay-off due to injury.
"All I know is that whenever I am at your mum's house this year I will be trying to score as much as possible" he said.

Pirates launch startling attack on Shoes
by Rebecca Willsitonit
The coach of Silvertails Cup team QLD Pirates has today launched an extraordinary attack on their first round match-up, the Schlossy’s Shoes. While filming an interview with Fox Sports on the season ahead, coach fLIP was asked whether a last minute bid by the Shoes to steal Reni Maitua’s signature with seconds to spare has caused any bad blood between the teams.
“You bet your balls it has. I never expected the Shoe’s to stoop that low Lauz†he said via video conference from Skilled Park. “I spent two days trying to secure the signature of Maitua and in runs Schlossy trying to bolster his powder puff forwards pack with no time left for me to counter. And look where he’s ended up. I sure hope Maitua plays well for the Shoes or that pack of nuffies he’s running this year will make sure his team’s off season romp in Coffs Harbor comes 4 weeks early.â€ÂÂ
The Pirates coach has been scrutinized by members of the public and Silvertails Board for insinuating that the Shoes are involved in a cover up over off field incidents. When we called the Pirates for comment we we’re told no decision has yet been made over disciplinary action and the club were still investigating the matter.
One thing is for sure, rugby league in general will not benefit from the incident with just 2 days to go until the 2007 season commences.

News Update - Rugby League World
On the eve of what is probably the least anticipated competition in years, angry words were heard this morning at the Phillip Street Headquarters of the Australian Rugby League.
Geoff Carr, though guarded, virtually sprayed his words. "I can understand some of the selection problems facing the coaches but some are just going too far. There hasn't been a ball kicked in the comp and claims of limited preparations, underhanded trading activities, too much work on their plates, along with rumours of unsavoury incidents over the weekend have just got to stop or we will cancel the entire competition."
News that ticket sales are only 10% of last year was also a worrying trend pressing on the minds of administrators. Carr said "Look, I know the sales may pick up but somehow the public goodwill seems to have gone the same way families enjoyed Sunday-arvo footie have disappeared."
"I wouldn't be surprised if a lot more comes out and it may require a full judicial inquiry. I am not saying Schubbies has got to be pulled off salary cap breaches to sort it, but it could happen."
Meanwhile the boards of the Mzilikazi Assegais and Burpengary Boozehounds refused to confirm that there would be a straight swap of coaches, possibly as soon as the end of March. All the team coaches contacted today refused to answer questions and rumours of the frantic hiring of spin doctors persist.

If the Pirate's coach can downgrade it to a category 2 Insinuation then he could miss only 1 game with a 2 lashing carryover.
