I dunno, I think the current title works perfectly for Carney's latest achievement.

Joel Monaghan was photographed with his dick in a dog's mouth and got a Superleague contract, and he's nowhere near the player Carney is.

Look at that sentence, goddamn it's embarrassing to be a league fan sometimes.

yeah as pocket billiards said immediately after this, the pissing in his mouth thing is peanuts, clubs would be all over him like a rash if that was the only issue, but superleague clubs won't attempt to fight the RFL over the criminality thing. We do have some standards. lol.

Julian O'Neill's antics are up there with Gower.

Though I never read about his life until now. I can't condone immolating a teenage team mascot or defecating in shoes, but dude's has some tragedy in his life.

He was supposed to replace Widdop, but I didn't see anything special in him. I'm surprised they let him walk, that seems to imply they're comfortable with Ben Roberts starting at 6 for the rest of the season.

Cody Walker should be back from injury soon too, wouldn't be surprised to see him get a start in the 6.

Mid season transfer deadline is June 30 so must be for next season if it happens.

He knws exactly what the rule is, he chooses to ignore it because it suits him to be a populist blowhard and ignore the rules so he can bitch and moan. The rule is dumb as gently caress though in terms of preventing dangerous contact.

I assume someone hit someone without using their arms but not in the head and he lost it again?

Yes, it was an obvious shoulder charge to the chest and he gave his usual response of "I don't think that's a penalty."

The Butts Park Arena is both a fine venue and it has a quite amusing name. What more do you need for a semi-professional club?

I'm just happy that them joining NCL 3 didn't lead to bullshit for everyone involved, as quite a few doom-mongers were predicting. Not sure where the players are going to come from, but then nobody was sure where the players were going to come from last time they moved up a level either.
