When Todd met Schapelle
Our Bali spy put an empty Bintang to the wall and eavesdropped on the conversation between Todd Carney and Schapelle Corby this week.
Here's the full audio transcript:
Schapelle: What brings you to Bali?
TC: I hit rock bottom and had to escape
Schapelle: Because your league career is over?
TC: No, because I was being linked to AFL
Schapelle: I know a few people at the Titans. I could put in a good word for you?
TC: What's GWS's number?
Schapelle: What do you think Todd should do, Mercedes?
Mercedes: Get f..ked, Schapelle.
TC: You remind me of Gal
Schapelle: Seriously Todd, what are you going to do here?
TC: I just want to get as far away from Australia and Australians as possible. Lie low for a while
Schapelle: You've come to the right place then
TC: Yeah, there's a quiet little bar in Kuta looking for topless barmen. Can't imagine you'd get in much trouble there
Schapelle: Do you know that bar, Mercedes?
Mercedes: F..k off back to Kerobokan, Schapelle
TC: Let's get out of here and go for a surf
Schapelle: Good idea. Use that bodyboard over there...the one in the bag. You can take it back to Australia if you like.
TC: I wish I had more friends like you, Schapelle.
Farah looking for clues
Robbie Farah has been playing detective since the drama of last weekend, convinced there are four key architects attempting to undermine his position at Wests Tigers.
He won't front the individuals at this stage, preferring to keep his powder dry and see how the situation plays out.
Our mail is he's not quite looking in the right areas, although there is a definite push against him.
Choc-sized chunk
Manly's decision to enforce a media ban on Anthony Watmough could cost the representative back-rower around $10,000 in extra pocket money.
And that's a conservative figure. Television types estimate Choc was receiving at least $1000 per appearance on Channel 9 news and was being used almost weekly.
Throw in six rounds of the regular season - and finals – at a thou a week and it adds up to a tasty little sum.
No wonder he's dirty.
Another x-rated photo
It's been a year for explicit photos and adults-only video in the wonderful world of rugby league.
And now word of another saucy image has reached our ears.
This one involves a trusted and respected member of the media in a compromising position.
He assures us it's an elaborate set-up and there will be a heavy price to pay for the culprit...
We will sit back and watch with interest.
