Haha! QC (Quade Cooper) vs Dunnett and Brumbies vs Reds. One pair fighting with fists and the other with words!

But I don't think there's a lot wrong with the culture at the Reds. It seems to have been their strong point for at least the last 2-3 years maybe longer. Certainly one of the main reasons that they have managed to keep their playing group together for so long. The Brumbies built a good strong culture last year but in the years before that it didn't seem too harmonious to me.

That probably provides a bit of insight into why Cooper thought he was blameless in everything that went on last year.

Talk about being oblivious to reality.
Oh my god quade is not that stupid? I always thought mundine was just joking with all his tantrums, but it seems this time he has really deluded himself. That was such a one sided fight.


I now understand how what happened last year, happened.
I will never blame QC (Quade Cooper) for anything he does or says again: it just would not be fair to do so.

Do they realise that when they last met, 2 of the judges were later found to be closely aligned to the man,and that the IBO reviewed the fight, determined that Geale should have been declared the winner and ordered a rematch?
The man chose to hand in the belt without a wimper rather than to fight Geale again.

SBW has since apologised for his tweet and said that it was made when emotions were running high.

I guess someone pointed out that you can't just make a baseless accusation that someone is corrupt in public without opening yourself up to legal action.

A lot of athletes speak a heap of rubbish, it comes with the territory of being put of a pedestal all the time I think.

My issue with Mundine is once the dust settles you feel that deep down he honestly believes his own hype, most of which is self generated. He does any sport he's involved in a disservice.

Mundine getting owned by Paul Kent in the Tele during the week:

Me: "You say you're the best athlete ever but you're the only one that says it ... "
Crowd interrupts.
Me: "Well, can you name me one other person that has said it?"
Mundine: "You name me someone that done what I did and conquered two sports like I did."
Me: "Bo Jackson."
Mundine: "That's team to team. We're going from a team to boxing."

Me: "Ambrose Palmer."

Mundine: "Never heard of him."

Me: "Aboriginal boxer, also played AFL."

Mundine: "Never heard of him. I'm talking world titles. I'm talking records, doing what I done. You know they gypped me in football, that's why I left the game.

"You had the (Australian) coach Chris Anderson coming out saying, 'We don't pick him because of his off-field characteristics'. I left it at its height, and I was the highest player in the league at the time. Money talks."

Me: "You left the game because you said it was racist - and there were Aboriginals (sic) in front of you. The five-eighth in front of you was Aboriginal."

Mundine: "How?"
Me: "Laurie Daley."
Mundine: "How was he Aboriginal? He didn't claim to be Aboriginal, he was like this fella (pointing to Geale). He never claimed to be Koori."
Me: "The chairman of selectors was Arthur Beetson. How do you claim he was racist against you?"
Mundine: "Because they're all Uncle Toms, baby, just like him (Geale). He's an Uncle Tom."
Me: "You're saying Arthur Beetson was an Uncle Tom?"
Mundine: "No, I'm saying they're joined to the system."
Me: "Did you say Arthur Beetson was an Uncle Tom or not?"Mundine: "No, I'm saying there's Uncle Toms out there, there is Uncle Toms out there."
Me: "Arthur Beetson was chairman of selectors."
Mundine: "Yeah, but he don't make the decisions. He might be chairman of selectors but he don't make the decisions - it's set up to crumble, man."
Me: "You're rewriting history."
Mundine: "Listen, you just come Wednesday night and witness the best athlete you've ever seen. I'm a likeable guy, man. I'm easygoing, just down to earth. I give everybody time. But when you have people that want to see the downfall, want to wish bad, doubt you, criticise you - what I've done ain't ever been done."
Me: "We want to see you finally do what you're saying you're going to do."Mundine: "You just be at the fight."
Man in the crowd No.1: "Good questions, Paul."
Man in the crowd No.2: "Nice Google searching, dickhead."

In some ways they are right, namely those ways that are clearly not based in reality.

I spoke to a business owner the other day who told me that he's a sponser of Geale...has been for about 10 years and was one of the first people to sponsor him. He reckons that Geale is an absolute gentleman and he expected Geale to win. Funnily enough, he also said that Mundine is a top bloke as well and a good man. He said don't listen to the shit that he says in the papers etc....it's all a show.

I don't know. SBW and QC (Quade Cooper) tweets were just ridiculous....

Over a very long time he has cultivated a particular media image. Whilst particular things he's said might have been mistakes or over reactions they can't ALL be.

Any bloke, even if he's a great guy behind closed doors, that says what he says publicly and consistently over a long period is an absolute muppet.

Actually on the QC (Quade Cooper) fight coming up, talking to a man who got a bit to do with boxing, he reckons if QC (Quade Cooper) has got pretty good hand speed, and might do ok.

He's an athlete and doesn't mind a bit of niggle Quade so he may go okay.

I don't think he misses tackles because he's a wuss, he misses them because he stands up into contact and he's not big enough to get away with it.

Love the squealing.

Mundine was never going to say 'I lost it fair and square'. No, he storms out, declares an ambush and asserts he was the best on the night.

The Mundines have been in the business for 40 years and they know that the more they make us squeal, the bigger the return for the next fight. They will make a fortune out of "Round 3, the Decider"

And we get sucked in again and again.
