Lets see you squirm your way out of this one stupidest vflfan.

[ParraEelsNRL]

So, who's going to start off with this one littlest fan, you or I?

[ParraEelsNRL]

I see you lurking around littlest one, what, cat got your tongue?

[ParraEelsNRL]

Bahahahahaha, you post in other bs files and somehow missed this one.

Thanks for the B&S point stupidest little one.

[NSWAFL]

It's a joke. A world cup sponsored by a government authority. That is an absolute joke. Why couldn't you get a private sponsor like Telstra or Coca Cola or something like that? Couldn't you get a private sponsor? No, they had to bail to a government authority and get government money.

What a joke.

What are you on about dopey, I am talking about the Defence Force Rugby League World Cup where the Defence Force in whatever nation that qualified, played.

The Defence Force have their own WC you blithering farkwit just like the Universities have their own RLWC and the Women have their own RLWC.

Now you prove they don't and I will prove they do, can you attempt to do that or will you just give up right now and cop your loss?

[ParraEelsNRL]

Btw dumbarse, you keep mentioning sponsors, care to show me where the Defence Force sponsored or as you say, were the main sponsors of the RLWC?

GB Armed Forces Rugby League Storm To World Cup Triumph
Published: 10/05/2011





Under the flag of the GB Armed Forces a tour party representing all three service arms created a little bit of history for Services sport by claiming the title of World Champions in the inaugural Armed Forces World Cup. In a twelve day period the squad played 5 matches at times in 35c temperatures overcoming jet lag, travelling between venues and of course native hostility from the home side who felt by turning up the trophy would be theirs.

The RN &RM were well represented **** the players supplying 9 of the 27 seven players whilst the whole tour was organised by veteran ‘travel agent’ CPO Clive ‘Perry’ Mason. A special mention must go to tour party head coach WOPT Wayne Okell who along with highly respected civilian coach Mr Ray Unsworth plotted the downfall of the various opponents. After a minimal 3 days to overcome jet lag GBAF met the New Zealand defence force in the opening match.

Facing down the Kiwi’s ‘Haka’ prior to kick off GBAF left the opposition in no doubt as to the task that faced them. This was reinforced barely three minutes into the game when RN prop Lewis Taylor broke the Kiwi line and sprinted 40 metres before off loading to see the RAF’s Dale Jinks score under the posts. The conversion was scored by RN full back Dane Smallbone who carried on where he had left off in the Inter services bagging a total of 6 conversions in a 100% performance on the night. Whilst the second half saw the NZ side fight back as the GB side began to tire there was never any real danger and a 36-26 score line represented a very satisfactory start to the competition.

Match 2 saw GBAF face Papua New Guinea side who were very much an unknown quantity however in imperious form and far better prepared for the local climate GB ran riot against the South Sea Islanders notching up 16 trys and 11 conversions. Once again the RN/RM were well represented in the points scorers, with a brace apiece for Jim Barnes Lee Rossiter, Silivenusi Buinamasi as well as one for Kev Botwood. Played as a curtain raiser to the England v New Zealand World Cup match GBAF were urged on by England’s 'Barmy Army' of travelling supporters to an 86-6 victory who, as history will reflect, had little else to cheer about on the day. Moving someway inland to the Penrith Panthers home ground GB faced hosts Australia in Match 3.

By now confidence in the squad was high with previous meetings between the sides going the way of the visitors, this match was no exception, a fine powerful start to the game had the hosts reeling and by half time GB were ahead by 20 points. The second half went the way of Australia early on seeing them pull back to 20-10 but GB were not to be beaten and a couple of late trys was enough to ease the GB nerves and the score line to 36-26.

RN points scorers were Dane Smallbone with 4 conversions and Jim Barnes continuing his fantastic scoring record with another try. This victory effectively qualified GBAF for the final but just to keep the momentum going the side ground out a hard earned victory in the extreme heat of an Aussie summer against the unfancied Cook Islands by 40-20.

So to the big one, the final against the Aussie DF, played as a curtain raiser to the World Cup Semi between Australia and Fiji there was minimal support in the stands and in the Sydney Football Stadium a victory was going to be a hard won affair. Prior to kick off current Wigan Coach and TV summariser Brian Noble passed on a few words of wisdom and encouragement before the side took the field. Fired up by the national anthem GBAF took the initiative early on in a defence dominated half but could not get clear of the battling Aussies, reflected in a 10-4 half time score line.

Early in the second half GB stretched the lead to 20-8 but the Aussies threw everything at the visitors but nerves and stamina held even when the home side came within 4 points at 20-16. The match however was effectively settled by a marvellous try at the death from RNRL Inter Services skipper Sgt Jamie Goss and with the conversion GBAF were home and hosed at 26-16.

The final whistle signalled ecstatic scenes **** the players and management who by meticulous planning, preparation to detail and a desire to win had earned themselves the title of World Champions. Ray Unsworth congratulated his charges on their triumph adding “these guys are a pleasure to be around. We all know how professional they are in their day to day attitude to the work they do and it’s no different in sport....... they have just won the WORLD CUP’.
Head Coach Wayne Okell after reaching another milestone in his illustrious RL playing and coaching career commented ‘five games in twelve days and never having been behind on the scoreboard for one second....they are a credit to themselves, the British Armed Forces and their country’.

A marvellous result for Services Rugby League and for Services sport generally made even more rewarding by the competition being staged as it was against the backdrop of the annual Remembrance Commemoration.

What are you on about dopey, I am talking about the Defence Force Rugby League World Cup where the Defence Force in whatever nation that qualified, played.

The Defence Force have their own WC you blithering farkwit just like the Universities have their own RLWC and the Women have their own RLWC.

Now you prove they don't and I will prove they do, can you attempt to do that or will you just give up right now and cop your loss?

Okay this BS file needs to close as undecided, because my statement was based on the assertion that the Defence Force sponsored the RL World Cup. The proper one that is. Now because Debbie never made that clear to begin with, there was a misunderstanding that Debbie has to take partial responsibility for.

We are talking about two different things obviously.
