This is a fucking disgrace

[fatprop]

So now do you guys understand how hard it is for a NS Welshman to relocate to Queensland when they have such a huge f - ing chip on their shoulder.

I mean fair dinkum, they ALL believe that everyone from south of the border is out to screw them (we are but they believe it even before we try to) and they are all just so paranoid.

They are on a par with sandgropers in the insecurity stakes I tell ya - if you havent moved here from NSW and tried to comprehend they paranoia you haven't lived.

yeah, but we have to deal with a lot of mexicans up here. Once they accept that they are Queenslanders now, all is forgiven, and we will fight for you against those dirty southerners.

Hell, you dont even have to be Australian to be a Queenslander. It helps if you are not a kiwi though.

:lmao: I used to have to go to Qld on business, the tirade would often start in the Taxi from the airport and not let up until the plane back to civilisation.

between us, no one from NSW ever ever never really becomes a Queenslander despite what the might outwardly exhibit. To use the term - it's state or origin

How did I know that was coming!! Same guy that invented the "White-shoe look"?

 

[rugbywhisperer]

And lets not start on the comparison of the Brisbane (now Qld) comp and the Shute Shield.
Deat set - every Queenslander firmly believes that they are on a par yet after having survived (not lived ) here for 16 years and having played grade in Sydney and seen the comp up here the TOP Qld team would finish about 4 - 6th in Sydney at best - just look at what happened to the Vikings - won here and came dead set in the bottom half in Sydney.

But the beaches and ladies are certainly wonderful and the Qld schools and juniors are better than their counterparts in other states but that is about it.

 

[hi-jinks]

Oh dear, I now see why Pauline Hanson will be back in public service in Queensland soon.......

Wasn't that Don Johnson?

Well, Miami / Qld...more than a few parallels.

 

[Rugby Rat]

Just get a young playing group together that want to play for WA. Drafts ? Pfffttt... Look at Gitts. Now going back to the Brumbies.

Anyways my thoughts are... Brumbies and Reds would have been top 4 recently if not for the Farce.

 

[fatprop]

I think they should try to copy the Brumbies, buy MacQueen as a consultant, set up a "Melrose Place" apartment block set up and build a real culture.

 

[RugbyReg]

interesting that it probably took the Brumbies about 11 or so years to lose the first player they really wanted to keep (SNK, and then Gits), whereas its taken the Force a couple of years.

 

[Cutter]

Vickerman, Harrison...sure there were more before SNK and Giteau.

 

[RugbyReg]

ahhh, good point. I mean Vickers and Harrison of course.

Absolutely none before that!

 

[fatprop]

Rugby roundtable predict two more high profile Force players confirming their moves in the next two weeks

 

[Scarfman]

The Force are the new Reds. Again.

 

[formeropenside]

The Force are the old Reds for the most part, actually.

Sponsor commits as team fights to keep Mitchell

Bret Harris | March 02, 2009
Article from: The Australian

THE task of luring Wallabies outside back Drew Mitchell away from Perth has become more difficult with the revelation that Western Force financial backer, ET Mining, will continue to support him.

It is understood Mitchell has a $200,000-a-year third-party sponsorship with ET Mining, which stepped into the financial void in the west created by the collapse of failed fuel technology company Firepower.

ET Mining is prepared to continue sponsoring Mitchell, who is being chased by the Brumbies, NSW Waratahs and Queensland Reds.

It remains to be seen whether Mitchell's management can attract the same level of third-party sponsorship for him on the east coast in the present economic climate.

There has been speculation Mitchell would follow his close friend Matt Giteau to Canberra, but there are question marks about whether he would command similar backing there.

"The media speculation is stronger than the actual talk," Brumbies chief executive Andrew Fagan said. "I think Drew is open-minded. His third-party sponsorship is continuing over there.

"The financial offer in Perth is strong and he will explore rugby offers elsewhere. The four franchises will have a chat to him. He will weigh up apples and oranges and make a call."

Mitchell played in the Force's upset win over the Brumbies in Canberra on Saturday, but the ACT side did not approach him.

"We don't like to talk to players in the lead-up to a game," Fagan said. "We didn't meet with any Force players.

"Drew's manager knows we are interested in having a chat."

It is understood Mitchell has personal reasons for wanting to move to the east coast, which has led to speculation he has already done a deal with the Waratahs.

The Waratahs will meet Mitchell's Force teammate James O'Connor this week.

The Brumbies were also interested in O'Connor.

"Our coaches wanted to see the first few rounds before making their assessments," Fagan said. "Obviously, he (O'Connor) is a talented player. He is certainly on the radar."

Some interesting tidbits bolded.

But really, Mitchell earning an extra $200k a year? Talk about player inflation. Let's be honest: Mitchell is certainly not worth that.

 

[Pfitzy]

Well he is on attack. You've just got to subtract $205K for his defence...
