I don’t like kicking journalism students (they tend to blub), and if I never have to write another word about Joel Monaghan that would be just fine.

Taking a moment from the most exciting Beldisloe Cup game of the last few years…
I note that the Raiders, minus The Urinator and the Bronx Bomber, have still come home 46-4 over the Titans according to the Herald Sun.
UPDATED: Growling Ferret has noted that the crowds stayed away in droves.

Todd Carney is the gift that keeps on giving.
Today the Canberra Times has some great quotes by All Bar Nun bouncer Ben Casey:

The Canberra Raiders went down to the Gold Coast Titans on Saturday night.

Yet another player was added [...]
