Sutton appoints Sutton to coach Origin

[ROC181]

If Smith, Cronk and JT were playing probably Cecchin would be the main ref but since their not, well the filthy frogs need a hand so they appoint the broncos go to men. Expect some new rules in favour of the toads to be invented by these crooks.

Game managers are all nrl puppets these days anyway.

Bingo.

Fox won the superleague war. Steps:
1. Go in by force and split the comp.
2. Come back with an independent organiser.
3. Stack the independent organiser with their puppets and pip the oldies (besides one... wait for him to grow old and senile then vote him out)
4. Use this power to make sure Fox ALWAYS get exclusive rights (otherwise - sack the CEO), Fox tech is used (e.g. the bunker) and Fox rules are implemented (e.g. 7 tackles, no shoulder charges, bunker can make calls whenever they like...etc).
5. When you get caught using this to systematically rig 4 premierships through a propped up Melbourne expansion venture (which QRL are on board with because their main source of $$$ is Origin), claim you knew nothing and sack the Storms CEO as a scapegoat. Then... make another independent organiser, run by your puppets under the guise of cleaning up the mess YOU created.

Facepalm... I hate you fox!

Ironically Brisbane seem to have a deal going on with Channel 9. Not sure how that fits in with all this but I suspect they are basically allowed to have all Friday night games and a biased ref on their side...
1. So that QLD doesnt fold or renege on their support for the NRL puppets (they are one club but a very important club for the viability of the comp - without them and there feeders the comp has no Melbourne team and mostly NSW teams).
2. So that Channel 9 dont gang up with Brisbane and bid more than Fox for the TV rights. Instead, they can cheaply acquire rights to Friday night Brisbane games (i.e. most brisbane viewers... BIIIIG market) and Origin. Channel 9 NEED Friday night to be a spectacle because Brisbane fans wont accept a news cycle that involves a Cooper Cronk led Eastern Sydney team crushing Brisbane while on page 2 James Roberts gets done for using drugs and assaulting some chick in a bar. They wont accept it and News Ltd cant AFFORD it because that means losing QLD and Melbourne from the comp.

Napas a cert to get 10 in the bin

Maybe. I was in a fog of anger at the time.

Weren't we all, not a fan of the badge really.

bet ya Napa won’t be charged and sin binned for leading with the head

I don't know about the ref's or how Freddy's social engineering will go but I do know one thing, I won't be watching.

After last years rodwalloping when NSW won game one then lost the next two, I decided I'm not going to bother watching it again. It lost a lot of its appeal when Roy and H.G. quit anyway.

Pretty close to the mark, you can add the fairytale finish they have fallen in love with.

Not taking bets on that otherwise I'll lose.

[Random Rooster]

I got to ask.....is there ANYONE out there who thinks that Matt Cecchin isnt the best referee in the NRL.....besides the NRL? The only debate should be who would be his pocket ref in the SOO because the rest of them are a rabble of shit.

[The Sack]

They have got it totally wrong with the referee for Origin. Cameron Smith is available and they should have used him.

It's not the NRL - it's Sutton. If you aren't part of his clique you are gone. And it's making the game a laughing stock. Klown isn't even up to first grade standard.

[Andrew Walker]

I am sure these two will fcuk the game up Or manufacture the result More than likely both

Yes. Cecchin blows more penalties than any other referee in the NRL. He was the one reffing the Melbourne vs Cronulla game where there were 33 penalties. He is a very arrogant referee who continually treats players with contempt and feels like he has to make his mark on every game to feed his ego

[stephenj]

johnny brass, ive been thinking this for years! this is the same murdoch thats running our country via the lnp and his media essentially buying the will of the tory prime ministers! the power of murdoch must somehow be curbed?

[Johnny Brass]

The goanna understood the power of the media and that was why he was so intent on keeping 9 as the number one news source in the country. He didn't bother about political parties just as long as those in power suited his own needs. His dopey son sold all that up to build casinos.
Fox should be paying much more for the nrl rights than they do as they have nearly all the control over the game now they show every game live.
