I'm surprised Pele is ready to rumble so soon after a broken arm. I say this with respect to the man. Since moving over from the shire Franklin has shown more grit and desire than he ever did at Cronulla. I was stoked when we signed him.
I swear Abdo and his cronies are killing rugby league....it's a game of passion, tribal warfare or at least it once was. Now it feels like a choreographed dance, a WWE match where the victor / result has already been decided even before a ball has been kicked. Give me a break....things happen...
Bullemor sounds like the perfect fit....going by his name alone. He has the Bull for Bulldogs and emor for Belmore :grinning: And since he plays as a prop, second-rower and lock he would be a decent pickup moving forward.
I wouldn't say stupidity I'd say scheming and twisting results to favour a certain out come. The Vodermorts even though protected are just tools of a corrupt competition. How would it be if they had to front the media and the truth came out??? The NRL would be dead in the water.
The ARL at the time banned Tobacco / smoking sponsorship due to society health concerns....IMO banning betting agency sponsorship should be enforced with the same vigor and intent. Gambling has ripped families apart, it has destroyed the meaning of true competition across all sports. Never have...
