This week Kevin Proctor was immediately sacked for vaping in the loo at halftime. Is this a sackable offence? Greats like Warney loved a smoke between innings, Cliffy Lyons, Neville Costigan and Darren Lockyer sounds like he smokes. Anyways, something for V’Landys and the Fair Work Commission to investigate.

The year the King, Wally Lewis dies, he should be put on ice and the following State of Origin have him buried, centre field at Lang Park. It’s all about the bet, the competition, either the Maroons win or King Wally goes back in the fridge!

The Blues in Game 3 had lost the game before they got on the field, Wednesday night. Roy described the mood, the silence in the change room, like they’d been told that they would be taken out into the middle of the ground and be hanged. Executed!

Rugby League games are played at such a furious pace, decisions need to be swift and correct. Referees and touchies don’t always get it right. Who can blame them when they’re getting just over $30 a game! Something for the Fair Work Commission to look into.

With the economy suffering from stagflation, why aren’t we teaching Rugby League in schools? If we are going to expand the game, then we need to start with the kids! Not teaching the sicko stuff, we’re talk’in Rugby League purity.

Rugby League players have a reputation for taking their pants down. If Teddy Tedesco and co are going to continue with this caper, then maybe we should have a betting market and capitalise on this State of Origin phenomenon.

HG fought back tears reading a personal letter from Mark Hensby announcing his retirement from golf at year’s end. As HG lifted his heavy, blood shot eyes (sadness related), he said to Roy, “dragg’in the bag gets ya down”. Not a true word has been spoken.

Mark from Toowoomba suggested Rugby League leave. If your team suffers a shock loss and you need to grieve, your employer will stump up, fully paid loss leave for you to cope with the trauma and help pay the bills in these tough times.

Bias – a term thrown around in Rugby League circles. Is it a term familiar with referees? Of course, especially when it comes to State of Origin, and length? A ref knows when to end a game, when Queensland’s in front!
