And with any luck it will severely deplete the fitness and energy of the Qld teams, melbourne and the bulldogs come finals time!

I would donate a wad of cash to a charity just to see cam smith laid out with a flurry of punches tonight...

Each to their own I guess. My sole interest is in winning premierships. I have zero interest in any other Rugby League. Not SOO, Tests or City Country and don't even start me on the 7's and All Stars rubbish.

The "Core Business" is the NRL Premiership. You could take away the other games and Rugby League would continue to be healthy. However, if you take away the NRL Premiership, the game would die.

I'm still going to find it very hard to support a team with Josh Reynolds in it. Not quite sure I can do it.

Its easy to do if the other choice is a team with Slater in it 🙂

I had to laugh at the comment under Choc's picture in the team list in today's Courier Mail.

Admits he didn't like Reynolds. Now he has to make out they are mates.

You make an excellent point, sir. I'm in!

Go Qld. Too many dogs and no Brett Stewart and Choc to languish in the bench for NSW. DCE to get more game time.

I just had a couple of pre-game beers with a mate who's put 500 on NSW at not that great odds...So I'm thinking he's ''donated'' that wad for us!

I doubt we'll see Scam sorted out, but I'm sure I'll cop a defeat a lot better than my mate tonight.

 

[castle eagle]

i don't really care about the game, only care that any manly players playing return to manly uninjured

 

[HappilyManly]

I've just remembered the one missing link to SOO is Roy & HG for me. Made even the mundane games so much fun. 🙂

Always remember Mick O'Connor's 'Tiberius Rex, The Roman Senator'. He had a mannerism of raising one arm as he went in for a kick, Roy would always say 'thanks for the acknowledgement, Tiberius' 😀

Wonder what nicknames they would give the current mob ?

 

[RiverEagle]

Love Roy and HG too.

This Origin preview is well down; really good stuff!

Credit to Nein for once.

Enjoy the game folks!

 

[manlyfan76]

Roy n HG. What more can I say. Loved all of their JJJ calls.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Yeah, I've also been feeling disappointed there's no Roy & HG from the card table at halfway. I was even more surprised to see there is quite a lot of interest online wanting them back. Back in the day when I lived in Oz they weren't that well-known in mainstream media, but had a growing cult following. This Sporting Life is a happy Saturday afternoon memory from uni days.

None of the survivors of the NSW 1980 side were given the honour of being there 😡

Wombat and the others must be presented at ANZ :idea:

Broken arm, so his sinews weren't aligned properly
He broke his arm wrestling Hoffman - the irony 😛
