Other Games [2023]

And some of the media didn't have a problem with it, saying it was an in-house event and the players in 07-09 deserve to be recognised for their efforts
That's why I so dislike this club, every player they had either they were an Aust test player, SOO player or a Kiwi international. Probably were 2m over the cap. And they wonder why the NRL took the sheild from them.
 
Sounds like Val Holmes needed a better defense lawyer than one of the three stooges.


The panel of Paul Simpkins and Tony Puletua sat through a strange 60-minute hearing and were unanimous in their decision to uphold the grade two charge, with Holmes unavailable to play unless the Cowboys finish in the top eight.

Players have regularly disputed the grading of charges, but this case didn’t follow script with judiciary chairman Justice Geoffrey Bellew scolding defence counsel Bill O’Toole several times for not following the proper judicial process.

O’Toole unsuccessfully tried to have a piece of evidence withdrawn, arguing that Holmes hadn’t seen a memo that NRL head of football Graham Annesley sent to the clubs last week until Tuesday afternoon.

He also got referred charges and downgrades mixed up and then tried to enter evidence when his case was closed, although judiciary counsel Lachlan Gyles SC allowed it.
 
Brendan Piakura of the Broncos looks like a heck of a player. Not a massive body, but hits the line v. hard.

Pains me to say that the Broncos look very good and an entertaining team. Have to go wash my hands after typing that.
 
Did anyone else notice that the dropout clock went way past the allotted time for the bronco,s and no siren sounded and nothing was said in commentary

Yeah because a couple of years ago they went and found strong but lean and fast forwards. Yeah they had a couple of poor years but look now. Piakura, Riki, Palaisia, Carrigan. Cowboys did the same thing as they knew that to compete with Penrith that's what you need. What has Manly done , recruited too fat or too slow plodders Sipley, Condon, Woods, Aloiai, Boyle, Keppie, Tuilagi, Lodge, Jake T. It's just laughable
 
Young fella is watching Sunshine Coast v Ipswich in the QCup (Papi fan), geez it's refreshingly good - no video ref, no captain challenge, no replay - just the whistle and play the fark on!

Edit: and no corrupt 6 again rubbish!

I’m not as invested in the game as I used to be but I did at one time love watching the Q Cup, footy as it used to be ( and still should be ).
