    Thumbs down The name of the Game

    The Sunday Times have done it again....made me choke on my weeties.



    Story here http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/stor...005385,00.html

    Rugby WA and the Western Force players have been meticulate in their social life so as not to fall into the trap of the other professional football codes both here and interstate and when I saw this mornings banner headline I thought "Oh No....have they ruined it?"



    So as I flicked to page 15 (and trying to work out which player was in the front page banner) I discover it was a story about a RUGBY LEAGUE player.

    So to the editor or the sub editor who make up the headlines :-

    The name of our game is RUGBY.

    The derogatory name if you like is "rahrah's".
    It is played by 15 players and its premier competition name at present is the Super 14 and later the ARC or Australian Rugby Championship.

    The person in the story you refer to in your headline banner plays RUGBY LEAGUE and their competition is the NRL. Its played by 13 players and their derogatory name is amongst others is "mungo's".

    It just shows the lack of knowledge or interest in RUGBY showed by the majority of journalists in this country.

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    Until quite recently (including all during last season) Candice Falzon was Matt Henjack's girlfriend!

    Reminds me of a Dean Martin song "Mammaries are made of this".

    She sounds like a serial oval ball groupie.
