Uncle Nick / Mark Bouris in trouble

[Barron's Dream]

Go suck his souvlaki then

Are you stuck in a cubicle? Angry at your place in life? Rage against it all Angry Ant.

Bouris has explained things clearly, left wing media exaggerated nonsense. A nines tournament and they're arguing what was said in the tunnel? That's the SMH for you now, a once truly great paper, look at what they are now. A junior activist run cost cutted socialist rag. They can't stand old rich guys, even though both come from the wonderful Greek heritage that has contributed so much, and taken so little, that once upon a time they would have rightly lauded. The multi culturalism they claim to support. But hang on, they're rich and old. Can't have that.

Well said mate. They're also white, male and hetero...they got it all!

I find it strange that these 2 would blow up so much for an exhibition game involving a spinoff team and not say one word when we get shafted by refs every week in the NRL

As you say it was once the best newspaper in Australia.. Now they pass off Peter Red Bandana Wanka Fitzimmons as a person fit to write about NRL. The only other thing he does is write hateful articles about Greg Norman.

As if Uncle Nick needs to answer to anyone.

Or self-flagellating articles about himself.

Bingo.

Bloody hard to reconcile, isn't it?

Nick is quoted as basically saying that it was disappointing for the LA Roosters to be treated like that when our club has sunk $500,000 into the LA Roosters and is doing everything it can to assist V'landys make a successful NRL venture into America.

The only thing I can think of is that they'd been standing on the ground for 8 hours, like at a school carnival, ...and a mixture of sun, disappointment, and frustration caused words to be spoken.
Referee reportedly wants a public apology, private apology etc.

mmm, time to lawyer up?
