Kurt, NRL doesn’t have it’s hands so far deep into Victoria, as it does in Victoria. Regional politics. NRL have more to lose then AFL or perhaps more insecure… Rugby League writers on the DT…do your research.

Look its much more a TerrOR thing than a News thing…. interesting in fact vet interesting when you consider the defense made by Breen to Alan Jones that the …. police came to an Trademark after an insistent .. If the TerrOR called the police it makes what was already hardly a story and not one to get the exposure it did…. but if the TerrOR called the police and this is what is alleged by Tradmark ..

“Police only became involved after the media phoned them. They came down, looked at the CCTV video, saw there was nothing to investigate and that was it.” ….

Massive Massive nay mega massive law suit coming me thinks if this is true..

The best thing to do is stop mentioning that newspaper – just ignore it.

Don’t buy News Limited papers and don’t visit news limited websites.

If it doesn’t increase sales, they will stop doing it, whether the story is true or not.

i think the daily telegraph was not really attacking the game but are pissed off that Rugby league players are getting treated as criminals everytime they go out.

The article did also mention that AFL seems to get a free ride when it comes to incidents

I imagine it was Pim’s decision.

I would have a problem if the FFA was making a decision about curfews and drinking. If Pim took a look at a bunch of tired players and said ‘whatever, go out and enjoy yourselves’, then I have no problem with that.

Once again i will say what were the players doing out a couple of nights before the japan game??? They should be in camp and they should have had a curfew. FFA wants football in australia to be professional yet they let there players go out and drink. let them booze up all they want after the WCQ are over. Lets stop talking bout timmys night on the town and lets start talking bout rys williams and nicky carle. I was quite happy with the way they played. Carle’s delivery into the box was a joy to watch. lets just hope that pim plays him in his favoured position.

Interesting that Schwarzer specifically makes comments about the reception they received in Melbourne being better than Sydney. Given that Melburnians are the ones typically accused of being insular and anti-soccer because of their passion for Australian Rules Football, I wonder if his comments tend to knock that idea on the head. After all if there actually was a News Limited conspiracy to slander Cahill because they are ‘afraid of the rise of soccer’ you would have thought the Herald Sun would be in with both boots on. Perhaps just a figment of certain Roarers’ fevered imaginations?
