Doesn't get the treatment some of the other stars get yet (re frees) but doesn't get upset with the umps, just gets on with it.

Proven brownlow voter, and this is perhaps the reason.
 
It's the good vs evil anomaly. The umps see Danger as good, so give him the benefit of doubt at every opportunity. Dusty with his tatts, bikie dad, rough hair cut is considered a bad guy, must be doing wrong, free against!!!

Absolutely. The one where Libba tied him up before he had prior opportunity and basically lay on him where Dusty could nothing yet it was still holding the ball. Dusty is on the ground with a bloke in his back who has him in the bear hug and you can see Dusty look at the umpire and shake his head.

This is my biggest *smile*ing annoyance with the holding the ball rule - The umps use at their discretion whatever period of time to elapse before they blow the whistle, its not consistent and it truly looks like they wait longer to call holding the ball with some players or teams than others. Its just wrong.
 
Dusty 12 frees for and 27 against
Dangerfield 30 frees for and 19 against.

Has Dangerfield got any Tatts, a father that has been deported or caused a brawl in a family restaurant?
Screw them all.

Doesn't help either when Bannister is officiating. Borderline cheating last night.

Yeah our coaching crew best in the league. Look at all our great final success over the last 5 years. Can't think why anyone would think they are duds. :eek:

Agree in some respects but the players are soft as butter. Our "guns" bar one possibly two are spooked on the big stage. The coaches can't hold their hand.

Know a couple of old Hells Angels that are pretty much the same. Good blokes to have a beer n a yarn with, enjoy a laugh. Happy to bomb your house if you upset them though, just a fine line that needs to be trod.

It's all about the cattle and talking about the relationship between Dusty and Choko there was clearly no way we were going to beat Norf last year lol

Hate to spoil anyone's evening, and yes, I know it could be just media sensationalism, but FYI:

That's why the relationship between Choko so important everything counts when it comes to keeping a champ

He is approaching FA , as if no one would be interested in a top 5 player in the league. He's a firm part of RFC these days , will stay long term if the deals right
 
We sincerely hope! It's his manager that is the problem - remember last time and the visit to GWS.

700-800k that's what he is worth. But what will the tight ass Richardson offer him? 300k???

Clubs would be negligent not to have a dip at him, just like they did when Rance was unsigned. Whatever else we've messed over the last few years, we do seem to keep our good players.
