I thought it was somebody having a go at Crusaders again for a second.

They breed it into em young over here!

Blacktown, lovely place !

I agree It is disgusting behavior,they should have police @ these games to arrest the s causing the fights.They gave the guy 20 year ban,plus from what I heard last they were going to charge the parents,Good.

guy?? he's just a bloody kid...and having seen the footage he should be banned for life...not just 20 years

It was on national news this morning. Was a terrible incident and tosee under 16's kicking players on teh ground and carrying on like that was a disgrace. I'd kick them and their club out of RL forever.

Having said that the police had to be called to two jnr AFL games in perth last weekend to break up massive fights between players, spectators and coaches! Strangely that didn't make the national news?

dont tell league freak... he doesnt believe we have such places in Sydney!


I saw the full footage on the TV earlier and it wasn't pleasant... I think bans of up to 20 years have been imposed!

yes the Western suburbs of Sydney are the most affluent and desirable living places in the world!

Maybe It's time for you to move!

someone rang into 2GB pretty much right after it had happened.....how come it took till wednesday to make the news?

I couldn't possibly afford the property prices!

not in Willoughby!!!


thats posh!

and very Rah rah!!

It ws Western suburbs or Orchard Park estate in Hull, Orchard park was more desirable!

not in big island, water front ay!





League rules in the north shore,as the ratings show for last saturdays all blacks and oz game that only 125,000 watched it sydney.As opposed to the NRL game 598.000.As you can see union is slowly fading away.

cant see the water for the dust!!


my daugters boyfriend is a teacher in Chatswood and the school doesnt have an RL side....


please explain!!

They look good candidates for the NRL to me. How are their attitudes towards women coming along?

palm beach for u

6 players have been charged by police

You'd have to ask the television and radio stations.
Maybe the rugby authorities wanted to meet out the punishment first.

I think it's the headmaster who needs to be doing the explaining.

Footage shows Blacktown players raising their hands in mock victory, four of whom now face suspensions of up to ten years, while another eight are due to face a conduct review. ''It is not pleasant, it is not nice and we will come down very very hard,'' ARL chief executive Geoff Carr said. According to the manager of the Penrith junior league, Don Feltis, some of the Blacktown City parents gave high-fives to the players as they left the field. He called the attack ''the most disgusting embarrassment to the code of rugby league''.

Good to see firm action being taken.

they are australian

it doesn't suprise me

Its a disgrace but it happens in lots of sports nowadays.
You are just lucky that the civilized English have never had these sorts of problems.
England record with fan behaviour at Cas and Hull and Leeds has always been first rate even recently.
How are the Football fans going nowadays? no Clubs being banned from Europe for a few years is there?
People in Glasshouses and all.

With your name I would have thought it was right up your alley.

This happens (albeit not to the same extent) in rugby league and rugby union every weekend. Trust me...but we just don't hear about it.
