[The Wheel]

No just a good memory for football in the 1980s when I was young & stupid plus I always enjoyed fondly the failures of Norths so called 'stars'

 

[Nutzcraw]

Look at the 95 QLD team. Full of nuffies.

Nuffies that got it done. But nuffies nonetheless.

NSW Blues are currently paying $2.20 fo the head-2-head win, those odds are expected to shorten as the betting increases closer to the game.

If Anasta doesn't choke, Mason doesn't wuss, Buderus is on his game and Mitchell Pearce puts in a solid perfomance, the rest of the pattern of success for the Blues will fall into place and give it a good shot at taking this year's decider out.

WALES!

He did but he played for Norths the following year
