Episode 9 - We Are Grassroots

This week we discuss:

• Manu Vatuvei - Manu is to NRL as Shawn Bradley is to NBA? Is he a game breaker, average or simply shit? Pedro brings some stats forward to argue the latter (with no help from David Middleton). If you were a coach would you put your life on the line for him?

• UNIMMORTAL - Another user submitted entry...North Sydney great Mark Soden. No grand final wins (we mentioned he played for Norths right?) and no origins. In fact his final winning percentage is tear-jerking. He can wash the shit out of a dog (literally) but he has not yet garnered a wiki page. With a 50% goal kicking rate, “he’ll wash dogs forever!”

• Bail on your team - What would it take for you to get over your team? Internet heroes are quick to abandon but so far alcoholism, canine sex and salary cap cheating have not been enough

• Shout out to Kingy - Still in pursuit of the one who is hirsute. Twitter, Facebook and emails to management have failed so we thought an email to his NRL club Souths might work. We appeal to their own thoughts of forward thinking, community spirit an player welfare.

• "Salary Cap Cops” - We implore Schubert to look into “the accommodation scandal”. Super league players being bribed with waterfront South Coast mansions. Nuff said.

• Appropriate sponsors - With the Sharks now being sponsored by ‘Sharks’ we discuss potential matching sponsors for other clubs

Please do not email any more suggestion about appropriate sponsors. If you would like to comment on other league matters, have bailed on a team previously or have a nomination for UNIMMORTAL, get in contact on leaguebythefireplace@gmail.com or hit us up on Facebook, Twitter or iTunes. Do you think a dog washer would wash a siamese twin?

Enjoy.
