Don't worry, GE. They all carried on like this after they won game one last year too.

True story, I'm sure other call center / ex call center employees can confirm.

I don't know many queenslanders personally but In my early 20's I worked in a bunch of call centers and in every single 1 there was a common theme where no1 wanted to answer a 07 numbers because the person on the other end (I'll keep it nice) needed a lot more help in getting their issue resolved. When I got a promotion into a head office role I came across a report that showed Queenslanders spend an extra 50ish percent on the phones and they called back about the same issue a lot of times. We ended up excluding calls from 07 numbers from the agent bonuses since it wasn't fair to the agents who landed more calls from Queenslanders.

He's the one who admitted he took drugs. More disgraceful that the NRL has swept that under the carpet.

He took drugs, so he snorts paint off football fields. Queensland logic. You're a dead set disgrace.

Ecstacy does not come in white lines. You might want to ask Locky about that one.

You're right, Meninga is an Immortal, about which we're pleased because we're, you know, Raiders' fans.

Joey is also an Immortal - god love 'im

Recreational drugs don't make you a drug cheat. Probably the opposite as it would decrease your performance. Robbie O the great MAROONS winger, now there is a drug cheat!

Are the drugs he admitted to taking banned by the NRL? Yes. Did Johns cheat the NRL rules. Yes.

I won't be harsh on recreational drug users in league as its common practice and has been for many many years, Johns just got caught out after retirement and could've denied using during his playing days. How many of our stars used without getting caught :hmmm

They swept it under the carpet because they know that 100's of other players did the exact same thing. He admitted to taking ecstasy something that research suggests 1 in 3 people in their twenties have also taken.

No, it was just Johns. No Queensland legend has ever done it. Ever. Never. Never ever. Just ask GE. And Locky.

I guess people don't like being reminded he admitted to taking drugs, drugs banned by the NRL. Well, he did.

I don't support drug taking by any player. Clinton Schifcofske is the only player I'm aware of who has taken drugs, and that was before he came to the Raiders. Plus Sandor Earl is accused of trafficking performance enhancing substances while at the Raiders it appears. I don't support it.

Joey only took them because he knew a clean Joey would be too much for the other teams. I could only assume a clean Joey would have spelt the end of Origin.

Speaking of, Tallis was saying on MMM that Queenslanders should boycott Origin III if NSW win game II

They were talking about a comp MMM were doing where you can win tix to game 2. Tallis was being all "Oh you guys cant even give the tix away!"

Ginnane pointed out that its a sellout, and asked how Qld did with games I and III.

Tallis said that if NSW win, then game III is pointless, then that Queenslanders should and would most likely boycott the game.
