Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3529278, member: 8215"] I had to do it. When I get some time I'll scour the threads for all of the stuff we've added to "the list". I'll even fucking list and format it in chronological order so we get a timeline of bullshit. This is prompted by another two steaming nuggets of bullshit being added to the list this week, spilling over to the point where it's no longer a list, it's a book. If people want to add to the list just post it here and I'll tack it on. Bonus points if you can give me the exact date so I can order it correctly: ----------------------------------- [B][SIZE=7]THE BOOK OF BULLSHIT[/SIZE] [SIZE=5]As compiled by Broncos HQ[/SIZE] [U]2023:[/U] June 26th: Ben Hunt denied release from Dragons to join us.[/B] * On the surface it's a nothing event for a player to be denied a release. However when the rumours were circling about him wanting out, journalists were enthusiastically discussing what clubs could benefit from him, eg, Roosters, Titans. As soon as the possibility of him coming to Brisbane was revealed, all of a sudden it's a blight on the game, how dare a premiership contender poach a top-line player this late in the year. Despite Penrith doing it with TPJ, and the Storm doing it with Nofoaluma. [B]June 27th: Reece Walsh suspended for 3 weeks for swearing in the direction of the refs.[/B] * In order to "stamp out" dissent and abuse towards the refs, Reece Walsh was referred straight to the judiciary and subsequently suspended for 3 weeks. Walsh denied the naughty words being aimed at the ref (it was towards teammate Pat Carrigan), and both Carrigan and opponent David Fifita, who was niggling him at the time, corroborated the story. The ref claimed to not even know he had been sworn at (and the "10 metre" extension of the penalty was due to repeated talkback), and was not called as a witness. After a split decision, the (adjudicator?) ruled a "guilty" verdict, based on video evidence. In contrast, earlier in the season, Jarome Luai was caught deliberately pushing a referee out of the way in order to celebrate a try, but was only given a fine as he claimed he didn't know it was a ref at the time (despite clearly looking in his direction and the bright fluoro uniform).
