The brunette, Anni-Frid Synni Lyngstad ... or simply Frida, married a Swedish Prince (Heinrich Ruzzo Prinz Reuss von Plauen) in 1992 after she had been out of the group for 10 years. Unfortunately he died of Lymphoma in 1999 at the age of just 49. He was actually her 3rd husband, and her last to...- HoldenV8

I've just seen a record that says the Broncos are pi$$ poor against Melbourne. Thus I think Brisbane will win. We had won 12 games in a row over the Knights going into that game back in 1997.....- HoldenV8

Fun Fact: The last time there was a Melbourne vs Brisbane NRL Grand Final.....Manly played in 4 of the next 7 GF's and won 2 of them. History does have a habit of repeating itself (like Abba's Waterloo ... the history book on the shelf is always repeating itself @:p). Hey, I'm trying to be...- HoldenV8

That's the difference. Until now it has never happened at a teams actual home ground (as opposed to a centralised venue such as all Finals games played at the SCG or SFS where teams get designated home or away depending on their final ladder position).- HoldenV8

TBF Mule was that slow in comparison that he'd not even have gotten near Burns. In the time he played with Manly, our props really were plodders compared to today. Players like Marty Bella and David Hosking weren't going to break any land speed records. Hell, even Jake would leave them behind...- HoldenV8

We're living through an era in which its all about how good you are with the ball in hand. Halfbacks of today couldn't hold a defensive candle to the likes of Des Hasler, Geoff Toovey or even a Steve Mortimer.- HoldenV8

If Canberra lose tonight, then 2025 will definitely be the year of the worst performed Minor Premiers. The Adelaide Crows have already created history by being the first side in AFL history (since 1990) to win the Minor Premiership (like Canberra, with a game in hand), them bombing out in...- HoldenV8
