doggystyle Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I see Joel Farrell has been charged for his 'tackle' on Chandler. No early guilty plea available either coz he's a naughty boy, but we all knew that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrover Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Browny stated he wouldn't leave us for another Championship club. This was months ago he said it. You can't fault a guy for having ambition but the only way to play SL is to sign for a SL team. Nobody will go up or come down. Therefore he would only leave us for a SL team with a secure deal (Ie no get out clause) we'd have to fill a lot of jam jars to get that lad joe mullaney is a god the only good tiger is a stuffed tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think Joel Farrell's becoming a bit of a obsession with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinb Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 And Keegan Hirst is up for entering the field of play without permission. 1 or 2 games,early guilty plea available. Must have been at the end as ref gave a penalty before game officially ended. WHERE DO YOU WANT ME TO SWIPE THIS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 What is it coming to when a player can run the risk of a 2 match ban for coming on the field (why, where and when? Did he interfere with play or nut anybody?) whilst 2 Super Duper League players can knock umpteen bells out of each other and get 1 match. The RFL is going absolutely bonkers, me thinks Koukash had a very salient point when he said they weren't fit for purpose. AND as somebody said, I think we're getting a bit carried away with Mr. Farrell, he's always hard, puts in a tremendous amount of effort, and to see it not backed up by those around him is bound to wind him up, but I think we should remember that when walking out onto the pitch at the beginning of the game I'm sure no player is thinking to himself 'boy can't wait to get stuck into so and so and break his arms', it's heat of the moment stuff usually. As Graham said, what's done is done and he'll take what comes and get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Every player who steps over that line at the start of a game deserves our respect. Most of us are simply keyboard warriors, fighting our personal battles through the bravery of others. I know that I could never have stood up to the physical and mental challenge of one single game, and these blokes do it week in, week out for a fairly limited reward. They deserve our utmost respect, as well as continual forthright criticism because that has always been the relationship between those who watch and those who battle on our behalf. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be fair to the lad, he isn't really fit to lace the above named boots is he? "you never win a game unless you beat the guy in front of you. The score on the board doesn’t mean a thing.

But just as an afterthought, the same players don't need pointless cheap shots inflicted on them by fellow players, whoever the pseudo-hardmen maybe, to make the game much harder do they?

As you will know EC I was making a much broader point aimed at the more hysterical of your fellow fans rather than attempting to defend any particular player.

Calm down, it is a rugby league forum. We are rugby league supporters discussing a rugby league player who plays for another rugby league team who happen to be both our nearest and dearest neighbours and the team we have just played! Nothing sad there! Or were you addressing your post to the whole of the town? l hope you don't think that by posting on here l am making myself even more melancholy!

Of course that might also apply to a number of other players. Individuals careers with single clubs are often shorter than our memories fool us they were (or is that just me?)
