Well Dan, it's is pointless arguing with you, as you say, you will just flick me from the site because you are the administrator.
Your arrogance is clear in your post. Your ignorance is clear as well and that's OK as we are all ignorant of something, it's when people overlay their ignorance with arrogance as you have that it's just pathetic.
I have been surprised by the poor me attitude of some of you lot, the conspiracy theories you subscribe to, that the NRL is propping up the Eels, giving us a soft penalty, in some way to shore up the game against the AFL & Soccer.
So your "pack of westies" inlaws accept the penalty, so do I and so do most Eels fans, we just reject the ludicrous notion that our club should be arseholed out of the competition this year and thankfully the majority of non biased commentators and ex-players agree with this.
Thank you for the tip on comprehension Dan, maybe you should work on yours, by referencing the SMH article, I was not justifying our cheating, I was attempting to show that there is a major problem with the NRL, one that your great club and it's great culture are not immune from.
Hopefully Manly make the semis and hopefully the Eels do as well, it's good for the game, it's a great rivalry, if we lose to you we will say "oh well", if we beat Manly you can comfort yourself with tears over beers, saying we cheated.
