It happens every week, he is no worse than many others, he just does it in a way where it is more visible and people do not like it. Last week was no different to any other time. While we have so many other things we can improve in the game, it is not worth making much over a head pat. If not for Brett Finch firing up on TV, it may have gone unnoticed.
Four things we can expect from the NRL this week
I’ll go a step further and suggest that JWH is one.

You reckon he will be fit? I think they definitely need his direction if they are to be any hope. Will miss Watmoiugh.
Four things we can expect from the NRL this week
I actually preferred the Sunday night games they were having at 6:30.
You could go and watch some local games then head home and get your live NRL fix after the delayed debacle.
Thursday night’s a crap night for football
Spot on, that is sort of the crux of it. Is there any other part of the game where players are told so often that they’ve done it wrong and to come back and have another go? The dogs got one wrong, the Eels got one wrong, the Tigers done it again last night too. I don’t think there is much to lose by switching back to the scrum feed and standard penalty restart.
Ballboygate: Proof the quick tap rule is flawed
Agree, it is just ugly at the moment and causing a hell of a lot of confusion.
Ballboygate: Proof the quick tap rule is flawed
@Phoenix Pete – The teams were not mentioned after the word Gemini in my original submission, I’m assuming it was added simply for the purpose of a hyperlink (unfortunately with an error). I contacted editors as soon as the piece was published mate, that’s all I can do.
Ballboygate: Proof the quick tap rule is flawed
I like Wes Naiqama for the doom, although Cameron Ciraldo has to be in the mix too.
Picking the characters who will arise out of the NRL Grand Final
I’m actually heading to Melbourne for the weekend and decided to go to the game (I don’t support either team). The only thing worse than Newcastle not having a dig will be if I’m next to that bloke with the cowbell.
I’m hoping uncle Nev might surprise me and get some Old Spice just to mix it up a little bit.
NRL Finals Second Week Syndrome: don’t stuff it up, Newcastle
What’s wrong with chip kicks on your own 20m line CC? Straight from the Steve Larder rugby league manual, more effective on kick returns though.
Bruno Cullen: NRL super sleuth
I feel a little for Mick Potter. He took on a side that looked like it’d struggle but has been cursed by injuries to rub it in. Things seem a lot more unstable off the field for the club as well.
Another super read CC. Possibly a world record for subliminal rectal references in a paragraph too.
Wests Tigers 2013 vs Wests Tigers 2001 - who’s worse?
They certainly can’t perform like that if they want to be a force.

What gets me is that so many complained about what he said re the phone. There are pretty big signs at the entrance to each section of Hisense Arena that say “please turn off mobile phones”. Maybe the F-bomb wasn’t needed but no one should be on the phone either.
