Truthfully, there seems to be fault on both sides here and yes, they all need to sort their shit out.

 

As mentioned earlier, this kind of comment has been in a number of articles in the Dom Post recently, suggesting that it is the club being petty and childish.



Or that Worthington is being petty and childish. Or that they both are.

Basically you're just assuming that Dome is more petty and childish than Worthington. Got any evidence for that apart from JD's patented algorithm where no matter what variables you input it's always the club's fault.

No sticking up for the Nix in particular here just pointing out that Sam and the DomPost crew are probably just as capable of being dicks as the next person.

Nah. Truth be told I pretty much think everybody is a dick. Dome, Worthington, you, me, J82, JD, JV x 2, the list is endless.

Have heard this line from Sam(Dom Post) before, and know for a fact that the some of the so called "phone calls", are never made! Try's to make it more interesting or controversial  than it is. Just more lazy reporting!

Just had the dom knock on my door pushing subscriptions. Straight up told them Im not a fan of their reporting and dont even care to use Stuff. So then they tried pushing a free subscription for 12months to a magazine of my choice, that was my queue to drop the 'yeah nah'.

The Phoenix: 90 minutes of pure ballet and grace.

Or 90 minutes of bad ass krumping.  Depending on which team turns up.

Although there's no pre-game sex ban for Phoenix players, there is an unwritten rule - no sex 48 hours before a game.

The funniest thing about that was the complete randomness of it in the context of the article. Its like it was just chucked in there for a laugh.

Why do the bubbles say such terrible things in articles in the Dom Post?  A few weeks ago there was an article about Waitt being coach and the quote about hard line stance was something along the lines of "he lets us know when we act like twats".  Today there is an article about Barry Lewis and his son playing together and it had the following quotes:

* "likes taking the piss"

* "got a bit of shit"

* "they're not softcocks"

I have no problem with swearing, but can they not make an effort to sound a little sophisticated when giving quotes to the press?

looking forward to some good quotes in Monday's paper from the bubbles about the game today - "yeah, they were all cunts but we are pretty fucked off about our performance.  I am going to go home and have a wank and a kit kat."

only if you were mental.  The best things to have after a wank are the following:

* A chocolate finger

* Leftover pizza

* Lotto success

* Foot massage

* A herbal tea

* Fist Fight

Fascinated by yesterday's Sam Worthington  'opinion' piece on Ben Sigmund. Pompous was the word I had in mind.

I don't thing there is anything pompous about it. It give props, doesn't give an over reaction and speaks about the incident for what it is.

I think its one of the better articles Sam has done considering most are tripe.
