Answer me this: What kind of sick idea for a job is it where skinny men are forced to run around in circles for…
Similar to Beethoven's Ninth symphony, 2012 could be one for the Richmond Football Club to remember. One where they come out on top, silence…
Since the days of the spirited Jim Stynes and the loose larrikin that is Spider Everitt, the AFL has been lacking in quality, charismatic…
We hear all the talk about who'll win the flag; who'll make the top four or eight and who will be the big improver.…
We all hear the stories and read the news about ‘good guys' or ‘great characters' in the AFL. Never have we seen a team…
Since the dawn of time there has been good and evil, love and hate, black and white, and the deep loathing of the Collingwood…
Whatever gets you blokes through the week… I hope this article helps you sleep tomorrow night after seeing QLD lift the trophy yet again in front of a packed Suncorp Stadium. Bets on how many Blues players will cry?
So, by your analysis – this also explains the recent 6 years’ ‘Origin of the NSWelshman’? Blame the selectors for changing the team more than your mrs changes clothes before a night out… but I think you’re pretty close. With mugs like Watmough, the Spewart boys and Mummy’s boy Hayne, who only appears to be able to speak in short sentences with things such as “yeah”, “nah” and “alright” – it’s no wonder NSW are looking down the barrel of a 7th straight loss.
I wonder if all of the ‘good work’ Sticky has done will be praised or criticized after tomorrow night… Time will tell.

Yeah – I agree Ben. Allowing Coaches/Players a small window to at least express whether they thought a decision was wrong etc would be a good start. I’d like to see the refs have a press conference where necessary to explain their decisions ala Harrigan on the nrl.com website each week…
Otherwise it seems the only way we can let them know what we think is across the fence at the game…

Cheers for pointing it out Michael. Error on my part – obviously Manly are from Northern Beaches (not Bondi – Roosters).
Yeah they do have a good team – unfortunately for them they’ve had a massive shake up over the offseason with the whole Malthouse/McGuire feud, not to mention injuries.
Why everyone hates Collingwood
If NSW are to win, it will take a huge effort. Whilst it’d be great for Rugby League and obviously for NSW supporters/players – it won’t take long for calls like ‘end of an era’ and ‘blues to start streak’ of their own to come out of the woodwork.
But if you do somehow win (legally) then we’ll let you have your 2 minutes of fun… But despite the result… not even one eyed NSW supporters can deny the dominance of this great footy side…
good luck… and don’t forget to send your bribes to the Video Ref – he may actually take it…
