The French only have one international-level ref (M Alibert), and the
British don't have enough top-level refs to have two on the field for
internationals and Super League.

No probs giving England more credit, but to be fair, we were bad.
Good point.
Even with being able to have two of them per game, they still have a
very poor standard. The situation is so bad that, sometimes they give
the more hopeless ones two games in a weekend just in the hope they

Oh wow, that's really hilarious material. Did you make all that up by

Can I try to be as original as you now?

Where is the restraint of trade? Lote plays under the NRL rules - he doesn't
have to come back to RL - he can continue to play union or pull himself. I
think the precedent was with Benji - what is it with your bunch of no-hopers
at the Tigers? First Benji, now Lote. Trying to play by your own rules?

More than a little I think Shag. Cleary showed how much off beam he
was when he brought back Jones. Mannering is a good club player but
over rated at much else. I remember having a chat with some ex-Kiwi
players about him when he was selected and couldn't see why. He wasn't

I see, at least the sheep shaggers went home with cocks in their hands to
show what they achieved in the 4 nations comp, just in time too for the
lambing season, some nice young fresh meat to take their frustrations out
on.

What restraint of trade are you talking about? There is no restraint of
trade. If you don't like what you are being paid, you move to somewhere that
will pay more. It's called life.

I just don't understand it. Mannering is a _good_ player. Certainly not a

And now for sure, he's going to defect.
Let's hope the Broncos snap him up as the next Darren Smith/Tonie

Sorry if I can't relate, the teams I support - Broncos, QLD and
Australia - have the best winning records in modern Rugby League. If
they won any more than they already do it'd take the fun out of it.

By Ben Blaschke From: The Sunday Telegraph November 08, 2009

DEVASTATED Warriors prop Steve Price says the club is taking a huge risk
by replacing him as captain next season.
Coach Ivan Cleary dropped a bombshell when he informed Price he would be
replaced as skipper by 23-year-old back-rower Simon Mannering as the
