Oh well, I'm guessing somebody got a pay rise trying to convince us that it's all 'foot ball' . lol
I won't bore you with the history, suffice to say each to his own ... if watching blokes in sleeveless shirts and skin tight shorts chasing balls all over the place in a manner of organised chaos (sounds straight out of a 70's gay porn really doesn't it? lol) is your thing, then that's ok champion ... me? I prefer seeing blokes belt one another!! LOLQuote:

Right .. bait on hook, line thrown!! LMFAO
I still cringe when I see the odd 'spear tackle' on TV. Man, I would hate to see the replay of my head being pile driven into the ground. I'm a marshmellow. lolQuote:

unfortunately the wife is a crazy rabbitohs fan. and has bloody influenced the daughter aswell. she is 4 and now goes for port adelaide in the afl and the rabbitohs in the nrl.
Unfortunately I missed the Raiders home game and what a beauty it was....thrashed the Sharkies :)
Some interesting results after round 1
You all know the premiers this year will be .... The Dragons back to back.!!! With the greatest coach in the history of the game (and didn't I hate him when he coached the Bronco's) how can we lose.
by coming second on the scoreboard!!! lmfao ... Don't think the Saints have it in them for back to back, but who is to tell after round 1 ... all I know for certain (I think - lol) is they won't come last ...Quote:
