Pretty sure you'd need more concussions than Fulton to forget that league players are douchebags. There's so much evidence presented every week...

Remember I'm in the US, though. I watch the games but I don't get the news stories unless I go on the SMH and look for them. All the sports news I hear on a regular basis has to do with the NCAA loving over university athletes.

Paul Carter from the Titans stood down for drink driving.

"Police stopped the car as it headed the wrong way down Orchid Avenue.The P-plater recorded a blood-alcohol level of 0.193

Driving the wrong way was probably the tip-off.

Headgear is useless when it comes to concussions.

edit: I also really needed Carter to play for my Supercoach team this week :(

I don't think any of the Sims boys will amount to anything other than a collective judiciary headache.

Good buy. Bennett would get the best out of him for sure, and Tariq Sims at his best is awesome.

Any news on Bennett's future yet though?

I thought Tariq should have been in camp with NSW the week he broke his leg the second time.

He has been pretty unlucky with injuries but I feel like players go through phases of "injury periods" and hopefully he is past that phase.

Given that Essendon just got hit with 34 show cause notices from ASADA, Cronulla's season may get worse.

Since there's no rugby on tonight before the league I'm watching The Footy Show replay - this special they're doing about depression in football is fantastic, the best thing they've ever done.

edit: Took 7 minutes into the "pregame" for Ch9 to briefly mention tonight's game, and that was of course for the betting shill to tell us the odds. After that they had on Origin montage and still haven't said anything about Wests v Souths.
