200 plus NRL players in the same city for a weekend? Can't see there being any trouble.

Should start a tipping contest for what crimes will get caught (since there's no doubt they'll all be being committed).

The NCAA (unofficially) has the Fulmer Cup, I don't see why we can't. Craig Gower is our very own Ellis T. Jones III. Who should the trophy be named after?

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
If it can't be Gower then it could be the "Robert Lui Women in League Cup".

But really it must be Gower.

In December 2005, Gower was fired as Panthers captain[17] after incidents at a charity golf event where he argued with several guests, groped the teenage daughter of former league player Wayne Pearce, chased Mitchell Pearce with a bottle before vomiting on him, streaked nude around the resort, stole and crashed a golf cart, held a butter knife [18] to the throat of a Sydney radio personality before throwing it at resort guests, and engaged in a brawl with resort security before being ejected from the official function and detained by police.[19] Gower was handed a "final warning" by the National Rugby League and fined A$100,000, with A$90,000 to be paid to an NRL programme encouraging the responsible use of alcohol by league players and $10,000 to replace the destroyed golf cart.[20] Gower was "deeply unhappy" that the Penrith Panthers club did not defend his reputation, and at one stage threatened to "walk" from the club.[21]

Gower gets credit for being a one man wrecking crew, but the spirit of the Fulmer Cup is that it's a team event.

quote:

The Ellis T. Jones III Award for Individual Achievement recognizes those who go “all in”, above and beyond the call, and put the team on their back. The award is named after Mr. Jones III himself, formerly of San Jose State, who used Craigslist for a robbery, pistol-whipping and kidnapping spree that racked up 13 felonies, 31 points all by himself, and would have given SJST the Cup had it not been determined that there is no “I” in Fulmer Cup and thus it would require a team effort to take down the trophy. The Ellis T. Jones III Award for Individual Achievement, which is to be referred to by its full name at all times, may not be awarded to a player who’s crimes lead to his team being awarded a Winston Cup. The rule that says multiple players must score for a team to win the Fulmer Cup is the ESTJ3 Rule and may be shortened as such.

Still think o'neill needs a trophy.

For those new to the great game of Rugby League.

quote:


As his fame and confidence grew at the Broncos, O'Neill found himself at the centre of a number of alcohol-fuelled incidents. At Southport Magistrates Court in 1995 he faced five charges, following an incident at Conrad Jupiters Casino where he was reported to have urinated under a blackjack table, including indecent exposure and offensive behavior. He was found not guilty, three fraud charges were dropped and he was awarded costs.

After being released by the Brisbane Broncos, O'Neill played a season with the London Broncos but was released by them as well after a drink-driving offence. For a time he was engaged to Australian swimming star Samantha Riley, but the engagement ended after Riley, who (despite being embroiled in a drugs controversy herself in the lead-up to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics) was renowned for having a clean-living reputation, reportedly grew tired of O'Neill's alcohol consumption and subsequent reckless behaviour.

He made a fresh start at the Western Reds in 1996 but was released in 1997 after being fined and disqualified from driving in 1997 in Perth's Magistrates Court.He made another clean start at the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 1998 but suffered immense publicity and a $10,000 fine from the club over a 1999 pre-season tour incident where a drunken O'Neill defecated in the footwear of teammate Jeremy Schloss. This incident became known as "the poo in the shoe" affair, and gained much media attention and public ridicule after O'Neill reportedly uttered the alliterative line, "I just shat it Schlossy's shoe," to his teammates.

In 2001, O'Neill's 13-month-old daughter, Piper, was killed when a television set fell onto her in his family's home. In 2004, while on a pre-season trip to Australia with the Widnes Vikings, he was accused of drunkenly attempting to set fire to a 13-year-old boy who was wearing a foam-rubber dolphin mascot suit whilst on a river cruise in Port Macquarie. To avoid apprehension, O'Neill stripped to his underwear following the incident, dived into the Hastings River and swam to shore, before hitchhiking and being picked up by a passing car.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Sure.

We can make one league and it can be combined cash and non-cash. Whoever comes the highest from the cash players wins the lot (even if they don't win the entire league), sound good?

Still finalising my team name (The Taumalololols, The Lichaa Kings or Parker Brothers are the front-runners) but I’ll share some of the other team names I’ve decided not to use if others would like a fun one and are less imaginative:

Lousi Players
Coote Smile
Super Morris Bros
Peachey Keen
Gday Mateo
Taylor Made
Thurston for it
Do the Lokomotive
Tonga Twisters
Barba Shop Quartet
The Inglis Patient
Linnett to win it
Comedy Option: The Toey Humans

I came up with two others I quite like but they are too long (I can see Keary now, Sutton dressed as Lamb).
