• After what those players tried to do to us with the gang of 6 i cant support them. They put wallet in front of country and quite prepated to betray fellow clubs and countrymen. Until they've gone, wales holds no interest for me at all (NT) -- -, 04:26:30 02/27/05 Sun
  • With 2 of the main instigators (Brown and Thomas) on the way out of the game and the possibility of central contracts around the corner. The people that caused the upset back then may well be out of the picture sooner rather than later. But in fairness it was still a huge performance by the players on the field (and Ruddock). (NT) -- Graham, 11:04:55 02/27/05 Sun
    • There are a LOT of players who blackmailed, threatned strike and wanted us out of existance for further their wallets in that wales squad. Until the players that wanted us dead are gone i cant bring myself to support wales as i have no wish to support those players (NT) -- -, 15:58:49 02/27/05 Sun
• Well that's very unfortunate! You say "until they've gone", until who's gone? Cos you may have a long wait!! (NT) -- Alan, 10:47:33 02/27/05 Sun
  • Well if he means the (alleged) regions, it'll be about 3 years, but if he means the money men behind the gang of 6, then it will be a lot sooner. Samuel - gone, Brown - one, Thomas - going. The wru will be rid of them sooner rather than later. (NT) -- Graham, 13:43:31 02/27/05 Sun
  • Who? The players that wanted us dead to boost their own wallets, ie those wales squad players who at the time of the G6 were playing for those 6 clubs. They deserve no support and were quite happy to have us removed permanently. It may be a long wait but until that day i dont want them to win a single match. This has nothing to do with what muppet has laughably termed "regions" (NT) -- -, 16:00:21 02/27/05 Sun
• I agree with Alan. No one is more bitter than me about the WRU/Dragons/Gang of 6 carve up/stitch out , but this was a truly great Welsh display to rank alongside 1975 in Paris and all that. For one weekend at least, I think we can put out bitterness away and take pride in our national rugby team. (NT) -- Eye Jay, 10:54:05 02/27/05 Sun
  • Sorry but those G6 players showed no pride or honour to their country - they threatened to strike in the biggest tournament purely to get rid of us to get more money for themselves. Its wallet they cared about not country. Id be quite happy for every one of those turncoats to lose every game they play. (NT) -- -, 16:01:51 02/27/05 Sun
• Beginning to wish I didn't make the post now! All I can say is that everyone of those players wearing that welsh jersey yesterday were playing for theri country and their fellow countrymen, no wallets were involved as far as I could see!? Nevermind!! Why can't this fella leave his name after the post, slightly annoying when its something along the lines of - - - (NT) -- Alan, 16:42:10 02/27/05 Sun
  • Disagree, several of those players publically refused to wear the jersey until they got more money a few years ago. As for who i am, its blatently obvious looking at the hostname which isnt disguised and ive used "-" for years (NT) -- -, 17:08:07 02/27/05 Sun
• OK, that's fair enough. However, can you tell me which players did that exactly? Just so I can look through the archives and check it out. I personally cannot remember a single instance where a player demanded more money to play for his nation. (NT) -- Alan, 18:19:16 02/27/05 Sun
  • Any of the welsh squad players that played for a G6 club at the time. List within for formatting: -- -, 18:27:11 02/27/05 Sun
• Utter tripe! There was never ever a threat that they would not play play for wales! Also ur case is flawed on the grounds that at the time of the dispute, players like Sidoli were not part of it. Sid had been playing for Merthyr and was only just starting out with ponty as a significant player. Fiction on your part (NT) -- Alan, 18:33:56 02/27/05 Sun
  • You need to go and re-read about the G6. Just prior to wales playing england in the championship the players threatened strike unless the G6 got its way. The game was in threat until the week before. Sidoli WAS playing for pontypridd at the time and refused to speak out against the G6 plans. Therefore he agreed with the plans, therefore i cant support him (NT) -- -, 18:38:00 02/27/05 Sun
  • URLs in here -- -, 18:43:31 02/27/05 Sun
• The only players that should have blame pointed at them are the following. Howley, Marinos, Quinnell, Andy Moore, Budgett, Mark Taylor. These were the only members of the welsh squad that threatened not to train. THis is bad yes, but even they did not threaten to not play, and none are featuring now. So there you have it, "until they've gone", they have gone!! (NT) -- Alan, 18:41:36 02/27/05 Sun
  • Not one of the other squad players spoke out against it or made themselves available for selection. Not one player for the G6 clubs spoke out against it or said theyd play if asked. By association, they all therefore agreed with it (NT) -- -, 18:44:46 02/27/05 Sun
• Well, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one! (NT) -- Alan, 18:45:54 02/27/05 Sun
  • Fair call. You have your views, i have mine. Both have been explained. We arent going to agree on it but both entitled to post it. No point getting a flame war over it. (NT) -- -, 18:49:00 02/27/05 Sun
    • Boooo!!! Fight fight fight fight. Seriously though, I rememebr the incident well and said at the time that none of them should ever play international rugby again, as they didn't deserve to represent our counrty with their disgusting, selfish, arrogant attitudes.

• No need to run away just yet mun. I've asked you further down this page about your Tony Brown statement. Are you going to answer or are you going to do what is expected of a troll? Making absurd statements you can't back up with facts, and then running away? (NT) -- Graham, 23:20:39 02/25/05 Fri
• If a secure board proves one thing its to keep prats (I am being very polite) like this idiot away from here. No one disagrees with debate but trolling and abuse is totally unwarranted (NT) -- EIA, 23:55:15 02/25/05 Fri
  • He was sussed out on the Pooler board a while back as well, where he claimed to be a Cross Keys fan I think (I hope the Pooler posters will correct me if I'm wrong). The proof of a troll is when you try to start a debate with them, they have to run and hide (which has been proven already - not that we needed any further proof than his ridiculous rantings). I’m sure he’ll miss us more than we’ll miss him. Bye bye troll. (NT) -- Graham, 01:15:59 02/26/05 Sat

  • Hi Junkie. The problem these trolls have (apart from having to live under bridges) is never being able to back up anything they say. Any argument they put over is flawed by the fact that they are incapable of rational thought. But, in fairness to these “hard of thinking” poor little creatures, it must be hard for them having no friends to practice discussing things with. (NT) -- Graham, 13:53:02 02/26/05 Sat

• I reckon as long as Horner is out, we should persist with 15-Quirke 14-Macca 13-Kris 12-Jon 11-Bev 10-Jason 9-whichever is in form. (NT) -- Graham, 01:32:41 02/26/05 Sat
  • As far as 9 goes, it's a question of which one can best cope with the pressure of having bad ball. While the forwards are being shoved around the park in the scrum and having very little tidy lineout ball, neither scrum half is going to have an easy ride. (NT) -- Graham, 01:35:45 02/26/05 Sat

• Lets be honest, the team is in a tail spin, has been since just before Xmas. Just what are the coaches doing I'd like to know? The team seems so unprepared for every game, no spirit, no tactics, no set piece. It seems the coaches are not up to the task, allowing an alarming slide in form to take place over the last three months. Someone, even a new coach, has got to get hold of the squad a bit quick, otherwise I don't know where the next win is coming from, and a relegation dog fight beckons.

• Personally I think we'll do well against N*****T because we'll want to beat them. I'm afraid anyone would become complacent if they don't need to win. Adrenalin is what you need to play well and it will be overflowing against the Sh**e from the Town. (NT) -- CK, 12:17:40 02/25/05 Fri
  • Im not convinced the newport motivation is there as it used to be. The fans probably want that more than the players who after all werent/arent really affected by the actions of newport over the years and some of which have and still do occasionally play for them. I get the impression every fan has more reason to want to beat newport than the current squad (NT) -- -, 13:39:51 02/25/05 Fri

• You'll find that several people disagree with my opinions on here. The difference between you and the rest of the board is that they are capable of discussing things in an adult manner and retaining the mutual respect that we have built up for each other over the years at the games and on here. If you keep trolling, you are unlikely to ever have your viewpoint taken seriously are you? Serious answer please. (NT) -- Graham, 23:31:02 02/22/05 Tue
• By the way, I'm still waiting for the answer to the question you keep avoiding about what Tony Brown has to do with the posters on this board (from your earlier post). Or are you admitting that you got it wrong? I get it wrong as well sometimes. Go on, just admit it. (NT) -- Graham, 23:34:50 02/22/05 Tue
  • No answer for three days? We will have to assume he can't back up his statement about Brown and has gone all shy. That is what trolls tend to do isn't it? Make a statement and not be able to back it up with facts? (NT) -- Graham, 00:34:17 02/25/05 Fri

  • Problem is lately we're being well beaten by teams below us in the table, as for newbridge, their entire game is based around their forwards which doesnt bode well for us. At a push we may stand a chance with Llanharan at home but thats about it (NT) -- -, 16:07:30 02/24/05 Thu
