Melbourne really are a protected species.

Aren't they great to watch? Especially Jack Gibson coached sides. Freddy said the other day that one day soon it will get to the stage where the under 14's will have wrestling coaches because that is the way the game is heading, much to his disgust.

I watched the side above my boys side who I coached, under 9s, practice the wrestle last season. These kids were 9 yrs old.

IMO it wasn't a good look.

As coaches in our club, South Tweed, we got invited to go the Titans Centre of Excrement, I was unable to attend, but there the other coaches were taught wrestling techniques.

Unfortunately it's reality now.

Two weeks ago my sons school played in the Tweed Valley schools carnival. I was roped into coaching the 10s. It's a very small school and we had 8 yr olds playing, my son is still 8. The 1st team we played had a whole side who play park footy together, all 10 yr olds. As a warmup they were wrestling. My poor kids didn't all have the same shorts and sox, using borrowed jumpers. We had them 2 tries all at 1/2 time, on skill alone. Size, age, expierence and wrestling won in the end but I was proud of my kids. And next year I will be coaching them and we will belt some teams. I won't have them wrestling, that's for sure.

Bottle that tear and market it as a new AfricanArseMonkey scent.

Sure to drive the girlies wild.

JOOlian o'neil to be the faeces of the shoe range.

Back on the subject, the wrestle is farked, the legs tackle and the old school shoulder driving into the ribs tackle is Gone the way of the dodo...

Screw Melbourne !

I just watched the highlight show last night on Fox (best hour of RL on TV apart from games) and saw yet again Melb get preferential treatment from the Vid ref. Ryles run through the line and takes out the Newcastle fullback, Hoffman scores out wide = try.

If that was us, Canberra or Tigers = No Try.

Are the ARLC paying the cheats back for stripping their comps off em? Geebus the favourtism is getting blatant.

Chook.

Short answer is yes.

Long answer is yes, because they want to "grow the game" and don't care if they lose viewers in the shitty inner city teams.

The NRL thinks this is America and they can get by with a team in every state.
