Ferg and Duges date night.

[Holmsey]

Spent the free day off in the build to origin 3 just a couple of days before the game and while the others went and saw family, had a game of golf and lunch, Ferg and Duges drove 80kms to a pub and drank the pub dry till 8 at night. Don't you love the blues culture!

 

[The Wheel]

Well if this is true that should have an NPA next to their name / especially given past history together

 

[Volley]

Hate to see the cleaning bill if Duges held onto his beers as well as he held on to the football on Wednesday night.

 

[ManlyTragic]

I think they realised that they wouldn't be celebrating after the game ......so they may as well get pi**ed before the game!

 

[Bird of Prey]

I don't rate either of them let the drink themselves silly very unattractive individuals.

 

[WESTIE]

Four days before ....not a couple.
8 o'clock. ..wow....should have been in bed maybe ?
FMD...Free day...can do whatever they want....as long as they dont commit any attrocities, who cares ?....even if they were drinking breezers on the roof of the pub...who gives a fark ?

 

[Harvies elbow]

I wouldn't care had they won.
But these two have been part of a blues losing culture for too long.
I hope they drank to toast their final origin.

Was just reading this on another site and they said that it was a week out from origin and that they left the pub at 8pm well behaved. The headline was Alcohol fueled bender . Either the journos are exaggerating again or these muppetts haven't grown up . I thought dugan had....

Neck Tatts doesn't equal grown up.

Woop di doo. It was 4 days before the game. They had Saturday, Sunday, Monday & Tuesday to refocus on Wednesday night. Never to play again??? Hahahahah lighten up people. Football players drink - shock horror.

They finished up at 8pm, so it was a day drink. It may have been a slow sip for the first few hours, then a bit quicker pace thereafter. In any case, this is not an issue. I find it hilarious that people think its going to affect their performance. These people have clearly never played football.

I guess media beat ups are okay when they are not targeting our club?

Well something sure as **** affected their performances.

 

[Lord Eagleton]

True, but it wasnt the beers they had 4 days earlier. QLD are renowned for benders in the lead up to Origin. It aint the Friday beers mate.

 

[Lord Eagleton]

NSW losing is about other issues. Coaching? Lack of desire? Lack of passion? Its not about being hungover 4 days after a session - which doesn't exist - even with class A's involved. Do i need to go on? Nothing to see here people.

 

[sheridanstand78]

These two clowns are serial offenders. I thought Ferguson swore off the booze, what a joke!! How the hell are NSW ever going to beat Queensland when we have indisciplined wankers like these 2 in our team. The cold facts are, Queensland, together as a team, NSW, great individuals but not together. That is the essential difference and NSW needs to adopt a no dickheads policy pronto!!

 

[XV-1]

Is this fake news? Big deal.

Why do people post this non news crap?

 

[SilverSkier]

As much as I don't rate these 2 I really don't have a problem with this.
If it was close to game day then yeah, I think it would warrant scrutiny but 5 days out???

 

[Frank]

This is news?

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Probably got there at 6pm, had a steak and 3 mid strength beers, whoopy do!

Journo beat up!

 

[mave]

As much of a beat up this story is, if this is the catalyst for these two to never see the Sky Blue again then I give full credit to the journo.
All we need now is some extra dirt so we can finally be rid of Pearce, Hayne and Woods and then we might be able to move foward from the losing culture before it affects J. Turbo, Klemmer, Tedesco, etc too much.
