All good , yer just seemed a shame it all ended at a youngish age .One of our 'tailers here posted a pic with him on here during the season, they might have some info. Damned if I can remember who though sorry mate.
Cops a bad wrap for 2013, fact is we were up 18-8 and SBW smashed through the middle twice (through Buhrer and DCE I believe). That's where the game was lost, not because Tupou outleaped the guy. Tupou can outleap anyone. Where was the blocking?
He was brilliant when at his best, and provided some great highlights. His run in the '08 GF which provided the impetus for the first try, his try against Souths in the '13 Prelim, his chase of that Penrith guy and bundling him into touch while sporting the pink beard.

It was Choc Watmough who SBW strolled past. Watmough was all arms in the tackle. Can't remember who the 2nd player would have been who SBW broke through at the same time. Play finished off with a forward pass to score the try

Classic memories of Wolfman and 'that Penrith guy' was Lachlan Coote. I recall all those highlights quite clearly and fondlyHe was brilliant when at his best, and provided some great highlights.

Wolfie wiped out Cliffy in this Charity Hockey MatchI watched that goal live...(on tv) and at first they thought it was the other guy who scored it. But unlike the nrl, the nhl like to get things right so they look at most goals before announcing who scored it (they don't stop the game for this...they just do it.)
So basically the first goal by the first aussie in his first nhl game...was scored off his butt! lol
The mum's reaction when it was finally announced was sweet - as one would expect.
The coverage and commentators gave a lot of nice time to Walker and his first game efforts...Australia got lots of mentions.
