Good old Cips back in the wars again. Got me thinking that him and Henson must be in competition to be the game's biggest muppet.

But there are others of course who are generally badly behaved tossers, so for a bit of a laugh let's have a go at a XV

Here's a backline to start things off

Beale
Guildford
Cipriani
Henson
O'Connor
Cooper
Care

Okay Gower in for Care.....


Craig Gower has been involved in a number of alcohol-related off-field incidents.

In 1999, Gower exposed himself to a female Irish tourist in a Coogee bar, blaming his behaviour on alcohol intoxication. He was dumped from the Kangaroos squad and fined A$2,500 by the NRL and a further A$500 in court after pleading guilty to indecent exposure.[8]
Gower was fired as Panthers captain in December 2005,[9] after incidents at a charity golf event where he argued with several guests, groped the teenage daughter of former league player Wayne Pearce, chased Mitchell Pearce with a bottle before vomiting on him, streaked nude around the resort, stole and crashed a golf cart, held a butter knife [10] to the throat of a Sydney radio personality before throwing it at resort guests, and engaged in a brawl with resort security before being ejected from the official function and detained by police.[11] Gower was handed a "final warning" by the National Rugby League and fined A$100,000, with A$90,000 to be paid to an NRL programme encouraging the responsible use of alcohol by league players and A$10,000 to replace the destroyed golf cart.[12] Gower was "deeply unhappy" that the Penrith Panthers club did not defend his reputation, and at one stage threatened to "walk" from the club.[13]
Allegedly inebriated with alcohol in a bar at Kings Cross on 11 February 2007, Gower allegedly tried to kiss one man before biting him on the neck and sparking a brawl, and is accused of assaulting another man.[14][15] The Panthers club controversially reappointed Gower as captain in 2007, claiming the Peppermint Lounge incident was just a media "beat-up".[16]
Australian swimmer Dawn Fraser said Gower was unfit to be captain, due to his alleged lewd behaviour at the charity golf event which she attended,[17] and Sarah Maddison, spokesperson for the Women's Electoral Lobby, said "reappointing Craig Gower would send all the wrong messages

Neil Best?

[IanD]

Not a fan of these type of threads. What defines a muppet?

How about David Tweed? Does child abuse qualify him as a muppet? If so I nominate him.

I was imagining Kermit at outhalf, and Fozzie Bear in the second row.

Just me?

I'll get my coat.

Bit more light-hearted than that Ian, more off-field bad behaviour than serious criminals like that scumbag.....

But feel free to ignore....

[Donny B.]

Lots more names springing to mind, Mike Philips, Byron Kelleher, Christ Ashton (more for on-field shite than off-field in fairness) and the wonderful Delon Armitage.

Then there's the Rugby league lads who converted Wallabies....Wendell Sailor, Matt Rogers, Andrew Walker

[blockhead]

Powell (of the golf cart down the motorway variety that is)
Another one, can't think of his name right now...jumps on cars and gets into brawls in kilkenny during xmas parties...ah jaysus whatshisname....
Cudmore, more a gobsh*te than muppet mind you.
Rob Saunders (yes we haven't forgotten)

[CiaranIrl]

Manu Tuilagi has got to make that team for jumping into the sea in NZ. That brings Mike Tindall to mind actually.

Cudmore, more a gobsh*te than muppet mind you.

We're running short on forwards, who are comparatively better behaved than the backs, so two good suggestions...

[Donny B.]

Ah thank God for Bath eh?

Cokeheads Matt Stevens, Justin Harrison and Michael Lipman will bolster the pack anyway, although I quite like Stevens in fairness but the other two are certainly muppets.

[Donny B.]

James Haskell is also a muppet too for various things, his video partner Paul Doran Jones too.

[Bosco]

Doug Howlett, the man is so good, he can get in every team

[Donny B.]

Pack starting to take shape:

Paul Doran Jones
Frankie Sheahan (for headbutting an Ireland fan, although could be there just as easily for his punditry!)
Matt Stevens
Justin Harrison
5
James Haskell
Michael Lipman
Adam Powell

I was a big fan of Lipman actually, very talented player.

Seems so mild-mannered though. Ah there's too much competition from the Aussies on the wing, so sorry Dougie

What did JOC do?
