That's AH, always happy to oblige.
No doubt about that. Not sure WRLF would completely agree though.
I suppose it is a good idea to have all the information in one thread so the initial spamkrieg might become a memory in time.
For the record, WA Sport Fan, a lot of the stuff you have uploaded here has been posted previously in the "Other Sports" forum. And mostly in abbreviated form with hyperlinks to the main article. Like GIGS says, that might be a better way to go.

I'll answer for GIGS, seeing as how he's not here ATM. Don't know your origin, but mine's NSW and there Rugby Union people refer to Rugby league people as "Mungos".
It is a derogatory term in that it refers to a one time supposed missing link skeleton which was unearthed at Lake Mungo. As with most derogatory terms it says more about the user than the intended "victim".
Sorry GIGS.

I always thought Mungo was named after the character Mungo from the movie Blazing Saddles.

who looks acts and talks like a League player or fan, or for that matter Shasta.
As for a derogatory term. I would call it a term of endearment

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

Shasta = Correct
It was Mongo not Mungo.
I always thought it originated from the term mungbean, meaning dole bludger. The derision stemming from the working class roots of the game.
I could have called it boganball or any one of the other gazillion names that exist, simply to wind up the mungoes on the site, but truth be told I'm an ex-league myself, being a Canberra fan since the late 80's and still watch state of origin so I can wind up a queenslander mate (although to be fair he's done most of the winding in the last 5 years) I stopped watching league when I moved to kalgoorlie in 1992 and gwn didn't televise it. I started watching wallaby tests then (good time to make the switch) and have become progressively more and more union focussed since.
It's reached the point where I don't bother with league anymore and whilst I respect the right of others to love their sport I won't pass up an opportunity to take the piss........I expect the same in return.
One thing I would appreciate on a union site, is to hear your opinion on other things we talk about.....don't use us as a vehicle to spread your gospel, join us and you'll be respected. For instance what is your view on big Dell being touted as a channel 9 rugby commentator? (one of the other current threads) I'd be interested on hearing the view of a potential viewer.

What the WA Reds bring to the table for the NRL
- backed by the NRL Clubs
- brings in new time slot for the NRL (availability of three live Saturday games or two live Friday Night games)
- Guaranteed to boost TV deal
- Backed by local and national companies/sponsors
- Third best state competition in Australia
- Economy boosting
- Diehard fans
- Financial members
- $82.5 million dollar upgrade to home stadium
- Makes the "National Rugby League" a truly 'National' competition
- Rugby League junior numbers only down on Rugby Union junior numbers by 3.5%, shows debt without current NRL club
- Brings in other national sponsors to other clubs, sponsors that see more value in sponsoring a National competition rather then a East Coast competition
- Supporter group already up
- Large number of TV viewers from WA (90,000 TV viewers for 2010 NRL grand final)
- Large number of crowds at game held in WA over past few years
- South Sydney have a supporter/member base out of NRL.
- WA unlike SA and VIC are not a 'AFL state', they are a state that loves all sports including, Soccer, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Baseball, Netball.
- WA manages to field teams in all over the above sports "national competitions", they should be able to field a team in the most watched winter sport in Australia and the second biggest crowd drawing competitions.
- NRL push for the WARL to focus on 'Junior development'
- WA outstanding record in 'Affiliated cup'
All that, plus a lot more that the WA Reds (owned by the WARL) are doing behind the scenes.
