Like so many of Stevo's cliches, it comes from Oz. The one I particularly dislike is " for mine".

Exactly... so why the h£ll does he say it ???

I hate the phrase, "chime into the line."

I might be wrong, but I think they just made it up. I've never seen a full back carry a bell!



Feel free to correct me.

Did anybody hear Stevo keep sayin "sufficient " every 2 minutes during the saints game is that his new word or something

The ARL and the RFL were significantly cleaned up when they started having video at all games. Almost overnight the high, late hit which guys like John Holmes were the frequent recipient of, became virtually extinct. Of course there are still players too stupid (Sonny Nickel) to realise there's a camera on them, but mostly that part of the game is dead.
At SL level the game is as clean as I've ever seen it, skillfull players are well protected. Things can always be more consistant but I don't really know what Stevo is on at the moment.

"**insert name of coach here** really needs to get the word out to his charges that…."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the decisions of the committee and the reasoning behind those decisions is communicated every week on the RFL website.

I'm not sure how much more transparent you want the system to be?

If we adopted the NRL system then fans and coaches would be complaining about the grading applied to offences not being consistent every time a player of theirs got banned or a rival "let off".

"this [team outfit"

how many times?????

They need to try something a little different. Maybe a chip over the top

I can feel the anger welling up inside me...

you could record his commentary from a prevoius game and just play it over to what game your watching....

I blame the producer of the programme on Sky.. he's an Aussie. Time to get rid of Stevo me thinks.. it's becoming a joke.

As Steveo would say
" Its as simple as that "

All the evidence and sentencing is done behind closed doors then the outcome is released publicly if the RL media had access then there would be more transparency and understanding as to why they reached the relevant outcome.
Plus the panel changes from week to week which again lacks consistency imo.

"The RL media" would report the evidence offered, the plea made by the player and the statements from match reports etc followed by the decision and the rationale behind it. Exactly what goes on the RFL website now.

So why are they crying out for access to the hearings then?????????
Do you think it's a good idea when the panel changes from week to week or the lack of consistency in punishments???
I don't and until we have a system that delivers consistent punishments to WHOEVER the culprit is or plays for i won't change my mind.

No doubt in my mind, as far as I'm concerned

yap

What ever happened to "Id put my house on it" ?

Credit crunch. Stevo's in negative equity

Aye I guess its stick it up yer jumper time when it comes to money now

Because - by and large - they're tools who would much rather have a couple of hours news laid on a plate for them by Red Hall every week rather than having to go out and find it themselves.

The likes of Nosey Parker and Andy Wilson couldn't write a decent limerick on a bog wall unless someone gave them the words, let alone a column in the press.

Would you care to point out to me this inconsistency in punishments and how it contradicts with your beloved NRL system? Both systems are reliant on a group of individuals deciding what grade an offence is, establishing guilt then setting down the punishment within the ranges allowed for that grade of offence.

It's pretty much how the magistrates system works, so if it's good enough for criminal law it's good enough for me thanks.
