Proves how great he was by JT adding the story. Never have i seen a front row forward off load as many passes on their way down to the ground as big artie used to pull off. Towards the end of his career he would off load passes without anyone knowing he had done so. A great player with very deceptive speed for such a big bloke. A real down to earth bloke to boot. Sadly missed by all league fans and players.

This is so sad on so many levels. The same age as my child. How on earth can someone do this????? The one person in this world who you should be able to trust beats you to death. For doing what????For wetting himself!!!!! Perhaps this woman should have bought a cat instead of having a child. I dearly hope this child comes back to haunt her for eternity. RIP little one.

So basically it was a waste of time and they could have just reboarded their flight and went back to Japan. What a cow of a country....hey don't smile and no loud cheering.

When are they going to learn? By the way the goose who thumbed down everyone should get a sense of humor.

I hope he does it. This would make a great chapter in the "never give up because anything is possible" book.

He's comeback is geared to the Olympics and nothing more. These meets are just to shake the cobwebs off. He knows what he needs to do to qualify for London. I'm sure he will up his training even more so now and surprise more than a few people in the coming months. I'm tipping him to make the final in London but fall short of the medal podium.

Why is this game being played in North Korea? With all the 'careful where you step and careful what you say' crap everyone has to go through why don't they just play this in another country where at least you can cheer and wave your teams flags instead of being quiet and hiding your flags.

Geez these guys already get a gazillion bucks from their personal sponsers and team owners....how much more do these greedy brats want? Too bad the actual players sponsers don't stop paying them for time off the court (duringa a lock-out) as well...if they did the players might be in more of a hurry to accept the deal they were given.

Stevie...in all honesty not many people would even know your name if it hadn't of been for Tiger. He was your money printing machine who helped you to become N.Z's top money earning sportsman for several years. Your passion is racing cars......who helped to finance that little hobby? Please do yourself a favor and just carry Scotty's bag and feed him the yardages and try to keep the sandtrap shut.

Here we go again....Well can't really expect anything different this time around. The next week or so will be very interesting politically wise as China flex their muscles and scare the crap out of the Japanese Govt. Don't be surprised to hear of a Chinese warship sailing within sight of those waters in the next few months either......Chinese way of saying you wanna play lets go. We all know he will be released very soon as Japan did last time.

How about just being yourself and if that means being kind do it regardless of whether the other person likes it or not.
I have met some really rude japanese people and i have met some really polite foreigners. And on the other hand i have met some really polite japanese and i have met some really rude foreigners. I wouldn't sterotype yourself as being more polite than anyone whether you are japanese or not..............just be human and be yourself.
