I ve had 79 articles published on the roar Barry,more than three times what you have. I know how to read and write and I know what a book is
Friday night footy. Your last chance to see JT v Cam Smith
funny Barry you can dish and the why’s and what’s but you can’t answer them can you?? I knew you were never that smart
Friday night footy. Your last chance to see JT v Cam Smith
That was just garbage I decided to write for the hell of it, you know like you do all the time.

Butter bean was 330lbs and 6”4 I’m only 225lbs and 6”1 so you really need to do some research before you say something. My record before i broke my hand and couldn’t box anymore 14-0
Who is next for Anthony Mundine?
No Barry your not curious you just want to pry information out of him so that you can use it to discredit him at every opportunity. If he says no team than how can he follow footy? If he says more than one his is a disloyal grub and if he saids his team I’m sure you’ll use that to discredit anything article written about that team and discredit any article not about that team that’s just want you do Barry
Friday night footy. Your last chance to see JT v Cam Smith
I believe that the author saids he wants to go to watch the game as it possibly could be the last time that the two best players of gen y play together in the same game. As far as I’m concerned that’s emotional investment.
Friday night footy. Your last chance to see JT v Cam Smith
So you’ve got to support one team that is playing to go to a game?? Is that what your saying Barry, seriously?? So based on that logic you would of never of gone to any grand final that didn’t feature the Bulldogs??
Friday night footy. Your last chance to see JT v Cam Smith
Why does he have to tell you whom he supports?? Your being nosy again Barry, what difference does it makes who he supports???
Friday night footy. Your last chance to see JT v Cam Smith
Ha ha that last line actually made me laugh well done.
According to you the Cowboys aren’t struggling they are still in the top five for attack line breaks and such, so what makes you think that they are struggling. Oh that’s right when they don’t win, right! Congratulations Barry you figured it out. Well done
Friday night footy. Your last chance to see JT v Cam Smith
This should be a great game, hopefully the testimonial match in Feb was a tight one that the Cowboys just got away with, I’ll be there supporting the Storm ( just the Storm not both). As I have never seen a Storm v Cowboys game live it will be the first and possibly last time I get to see Smith v Jt
Friday night footy. Your last chance to see JT v Cam Smith
For once I agree with you Barry, Lewis is and will always been the best Origin player. But I’m confused about this article, is it the author that wrote it or has he copied some else’s list and made it his own? Thought all works had to be your own??
Smith hooks status as greatest in Origin history
I’m confused ?♀️. Is this your top ten list or Hauser”s? If it’s Hauser’s how did this get published as it’s not an original piece??? Ever heard of plagiarism??? Atleast when I did my top tens they were my own lists with my own justifications not copying someone else’s work. Poor article if this is the case.
Smith hooks status as greatest in Origin history
First of all Ponga ain’t a rookie he has been around for a couple of years now, second SBW was never a good player just had a good look and a glory hog. Never saw him do the hard yards ten from his line but magically turn up to run ten meters to score a try at the opposition try line. Folau will always be the best rookie ever, don’t see ponga jumping 14 feet in the air to take the ball
Ponga is the best rookie of the modern era
What the sad thing is, is that all bar one of the names mentioned are/were legitimate fighters. Well Briggs was until Green dragged him into the ring. Hamden fought Choc for the WBA title, Bika did something that Choc never did won a world title in the USA but held in for two seconds which was sad for him but he’s still an active fighter. Dib is looking for another title shot in July so let’s hope that happens. Lovemore was an awesome fighter but never got the attention he deserved. Didn’t Taylor fight Choc as well?? The problem with most Aussie fighters is that they are in the smaller division and are always undercard to an middleweight, cruiserweight or heavyweight fight. When is the last time you saw featherweight title headline a ppv event by an Aussie champ. Ellis v Michael is the last one a can think of and that wasn’t a ppv event. Plus at 102 kgs and a former boxer myself I think I’ll coukd of takem most if not all of them no problem.

Davico People will also pay money to see the bad guy get beat up rather than the good guy win, hence Mundine and his stupid comments, for me turning his back on the national Anthem lost all my respect for him.
You really need to do your research. In 2003 Green beat Eric Lucas in Canada ?? for the WBC interim Super-Middleweight title with Fenech as his trainer. The interim title is not the full championship it’s like when a footy team wins the reserve grand final, not a big deal. Plus when Green did take on the real champ Marcus Beyer he was disqualified in the first fight for head butting and soundly defeated in the rematch. Green didn’t win a world title until 2007 when we beat Stipe Drews for the WBA light-heavyweight title 18 months after fighting Choc. Plus who are this hard working boxers you’re talking about over the last ten years, Geale, Soliman, waters?? All nobodies until the fought Choc. Finally you are correct in that fenech was a world champ before Tyson. Fenech won his first title the IBF bantamweight in 1985 were Tyson didn’t become champ until 1988 but they did both hold WBC titles at the same team, so don’t beat yourself up about that one. Have a nice day

Warriors v Rabbits should be the game of the week
NRL team list Tuesday live blog: Round 12 - all 16 teams named
It will be interesting to see how the pubs and sports clubs go with this one. Show one or both at the same time. Hopefully both so I can collect both fight posters in one hit
Clash of the televisions: Will you watch Horn or Whittaker on 10 June?
Don’t most boxers do that, fight blokes they knew they could beat so they could tell everyone how good they are. Floyd Mayweather that for his last ten fights atleast
Tszyu challenges Mundine, but will it happen?
Nah mate, your dead right! He should have given it away after his 300th and that game wasn’t a great victory either. Despite Thurston getting the job done in attack, it makes little difference when you aren’t winning. Why would he want to continue with a record of 3-8, the season is not even halfway over and you can already start putting a line through their season. Why keep playing when you only going to lose each week. They’ll probably win against the Storm this week but that would probably be on of their last wins of the season
JT's game is broken and cannot be fixed
Davico, you sound like you don’t have a clue what your on about. No one is this country had any interest in boxing after the retirement of fenech til Mundine came along and every man and his dog has been using Mundine’s name to get noticed ever since. Green, Geale, Soliman, Wood (especially wood considering that Aussie boxing contender tv show) were all nobodies until they fought or started a rivalry with Choc. Would Green of been as successful had he never fought or rivalled with Choc, no don’t think so. Geale probably would of been successful regardless but no one would’ve noticed or cared. Soliman was in the same boat as Geale and Wood 100 percent piggy backed off Choc’s name to get his career. The only reason anyone still remembers fenech is because he has bickered with Choc since his first fight in 2000 and picky back off anyone he can just to remain relevant.
Horn was a nobody until he fought Pac-Man and as Jason said that crowd was 90 percent there to watch Pacquiao not Horn, it did matter who Pacquiso fought that day the crowd would of been just as big. If he fought Choc it would of been a sellout.
So go back to your bars where you lot have no idea who Mundine is a watch the fights from 50 years ago, it sounds like your living in the past

That’s not nice Con, thought we were mates. Seriously though I’m speaking from experience I myself am only five months post op from a pectoral rapture. I lost a heap of fitness the recovery is not great and I’ve gained weight. My mind thinks I’m 19 but my body constantly reminds me that I’m 36. Being only a little older than Jt I know what he went through and you can’t bounce back that quickly in your mind 30s. It’s just common sense
JT's game is broken and cannot be fixed
I saw it coming, it’s called logic along with knowing your biomechanics of the body. The Cowboys proved they can win without Thurston hence the finals series last year. I know your not being critical of Thurston you just telling it how it is. He a shell of himself and needs to give it up. Not his fault, Father Time just caught up with him that’s all
JT's game is broken and cannot be fixed
What do you expect from Jt, seriously? At 35 and coming back from a season ending injury, he ain’t going to be at his best. He is at the age where the body cannot physically recover as well as it once did plus all the fitness that he lost during his inactivity period he may never fully get back. The Cowboys rely on him for far too much and their season is suffering because of it. He will live to regret the 2018 season if he is not already
JT's game is broken and cannot be fixed
Not the way I broke it I almost lost it in a crush injury and couldn’t cuff a fist for almost three years so it had nothing to do with a heart issue. Boxing record typo only 4-0 plus don’t remember any of the blokes I fought.
