An I going mad, or did a thread about brawls get deleted?

Looks like it did.  But my guess not because of the topic, it kept being pulled into another area.  The mods were encouraging people just to talk about brawls!

Was always going to happen when the biggest RL story of the week is banned from discussion. A very puzzling policy decision from the mods.

They are the moderators and it is their choice.

This website is great and not least because of the work they do so I am ok with it.

It's not really puzzling and they have explained why. The mods do a great job on here and do their upmost to keep things on topic.

I personally have deleted the video FOUR times from this site, three times on threads nothing to do with the guy. $deity knows how many times John has done it.

This site has always aimed for PG rating. Seeing that on the site is 100% most definitely not PG.

The brawls thread was fine, just, it did the job and may be a bit out of date with modern rugby league, but it was one we had shrugged at and let go. TOO many times though people just could not, and would not, listen on the subject.

We've made the choice that it's now a taboo subject because people will not stop posting the video.

Two examples :

The one with the woman with the handbag at Central Park and one where two Salford players laid into one another at a preseason squad match.

Leigh v Halifax at the LSV it was either '14 or '15, a reet good set to.

Karl Harrison was the Fax coach and I am sure he was shouting to his lads to get stuck in from the touchline.

Its on YT that, I will find it. The one where Sam Barlow feigned injury and was texting the Fax lads later that nite giving them a bit of banter. Also Dane manning is just someone who you can't imagine it would be fun to fight, he just looks like he could literally fight for hours. 🤣

Cone of Silence.

Rugby league story makes it into Daily Mail, Sun exclusive interview, and even onto LBC yet is somehow not even allowed to be discussed on a specialist rugby league forum, linked to the "trade press". 

I fully understand that idiots posting links to the video were way out of line, but to actively block all discussion of the game's biggest story is beyond strange. 

Only my opinion though.

Thanks for at least clarifying. 

It seemed really weird but I completely get it if that is the reason.

Huh, what did i miss?

A pictorial history of John Inverdale through the years. We thought it was just too horrifying for this site and had to block any reposts of it. :kolobok_ph34r:

Good Lord, thankfully I missed that....

Just an image of the smarmy bleeder's face would be enough.

My favourite brawl never occurred ……. it would have been the one where some lunatic fancied their chance against Kevin Ward.  But for some strange reason I cannot recall anyone having a pop at Wardy 😄😄

I think Les Boyd and Kurt Sorenson might have a different view. Even, the maddest player never started a brawl with Dessie Drummond though
