    Jeez, the Cowboys must be paying a massive chunk of McGuire's salary. And lol the Dragons are paying overs for Norman.

    We are definitely paying overs but I think Vaughan, Norman and de Belin had loading for priors

    Hand modelling has always been cut throat mate and everyone needs a regular release.  You not being able to risk your hands for said release poses a unique conundrum that the majority of us just don't have to deal with.  I think society can afford to cut you of all people some slack.

    Us handies do it tough sometimes, I'd hope nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

    Love to know what goes through their thick heads


    “Jack, haven’t you seen enough bad press for one year?”

    JDB: but Vaughny’s got a load of steaks already and it’s not a BYO. Has enough booze for watching 8 games let alone an origin, so can’t let him down.

    “But everyone else had to call their Origin parties off... if someone sees you they’ll call the cops... why don’t you guys just do it end of season, or tell Paul to invite Burnsy. I feel for him since he arrived.

    JDB: he’d be too busy watching late 80s grand final replays. I’ll just have a quiet one.
    Norm already said he’d sneak me out the back if anyone comes knocking.

    “Oh you’re in great hands then. Left his bloody house keys here last time he was over”


    Also love to know who would be talking to JDB. Maybe a magical pelican while the tripper is out surfing

    Absolute imbeciles

    This has made me realise how much I want/need a detailed oral history or 30 for 30 type doco “Weekend at Vaughnies”. A few retired players retelling this would be epic. Would totally happen if it was an American sport too.

    Even that could be devastating to your career.

    I would hope that if worst wrist came to worst wrist, the verdict 'handed' down to you was based on a judgement 'armed' with all the facts...

    I would LOVE to see a 30 for 30 on Craig Gower's Golf Day.

    Don't say this wouldn't make amazing TV:

    In December 2005, Gower was fired as Panthers captain after incidents at a charity golf event where he argued with several guests, groped the then teenage daughter of former league player Wayne Pearce, chased Mitchell Pearce with a bottle before vomiting on him, streaked nude around the resort, stole and crashed a golf cart, held a butter knife to the throat of a Sydney radio personality before throwing it at resort guests, and engaged in a brawl with resort security before being ejected from the official function and detained by police. He was handed a "final warning" by the National Rugby League and fined A$100,000, with A$90,000 to be paid to an NRL programme encouraging the responsible use of alcohol by league players and $10,000 to replace the destroyed golf cart. Gower was "deeply unhappy" that the Penrith Panthers club did not defend his reputation, and at one stage threatened to "walk" from the club.

    Really? I'm sending my kids down the mines to state schools, but my brother in law just enrolled my niece at a Brisbane private school and it will cost them over $20k next year - for pre-prep. Only goes up for the 13 years after then.

    The immense temptation must be unbearable!
    Can you imagine the unrelenting torment of having such supple and feminine hands, combined with his contractual obligations, which restrict him from putting them to good use???

    It's like putting a juicy t-bone in front of a dog and expecting it not to eat it....

    lol!

    I love this story.

    Only trumped by Julian O'Neil and his efforts on a boat cruise where he tried to set a boy dressed in a dolphin costume on fire, before stripping to his Reg Grundy's and swimming to shore.

    I’d forgotten that one! And he felt aggrieved! How many weeks would you get for that now?

    Really need a Dark Side of the Ring style series.

    This Dragons story, Gowers golf day, Schlossys Shoe, endless possibilities…
