I think my first name may be Walter but can't be sure because I've never seen my birth certificate. In the same year that Krispy Kreme doughnuts came to Australia I began my rugby career as scrum half for the Townsville Tigers, but ended up finsihing my career as a Loose-Head Prop 5 months later. I once played cricket but was given a life ban for chasing the umpire with a stump for giving me out, I think for owning a BMW.

Comment of the day!

The Gold Coast is the most important thing going on in aussie rugby at the moment!

Di Patston quits the ARU, who will be next?

Probably for the same reason I refuse to pay for the rearing of my neigbours triplets… you can’t prove they’re mine!

And don’t talk about DNA, as i said to the judge, “you said it yourself you wig wearing numpty, that’s only 99.9% accurate!”

The “Bill” just isn't worth it for Sonny!

sounds as chaotic as my house with me kids Audi, Wisconsin, Bre-eeerleey, Veeate, Holdenute, Fonzie and Pauline running around… and those are the ones I can remember.

When you consider both my wife North-Dakota and her sister South Dakota, my ex wife and mother to my 1st, 2nd and 5th kids, also live under me roof it can get a little crazy.

The “Bill” just isn't worth it for Sonny!

strangely no! Last years XXXX beer of the year award went to Heineken!

It was a massive shock when you consider no one knows where Heineken is made. The company claims to be from the Netherlands but of course that is fictitious. I’m presuming its an australian company so it’s okay by me.

Why I should have hated attending the Eden Park Test, but didn't

Too right… when my Mrs came back to Townsville after a years backpacking around europe and told me we’d be having a child I immediately questioned whether I could continue playing with the same gusto as I had always done.

After Mercedes-Porsche was born I was never the same and even if I hadn’t have been banned for life I would have stopped playing League and Cricket….

It didn’t matter I later took up competitive Rugby Union, Golf, Darts, Softball, Touch, Austag, Snooker, Boules (a french game kindo like lawn bowls), Ten Pin Bowling and Lawn Bowls, but i’m still as devoted to my 7 or 8 (maybe 10 or 11 depending on a court order) kids as I’ve ever been!

The “Bill” just isn't worth it for Sonny!

XXXX has won coutless international beer awards such as the no 1 beer of Townsville, no 1 beer of Brisbane, no 1 beer of Cairns, and no 1 beer of Cooktown… the lists go on

Why I should have hated attending the Eden Park Test, but didn't

Why don’t the Wallabies get a noted State of Origin star like SBW!

Williams gets green light for All Blacks

The biggest thing I took out of this article is the fact that mid-stength beers are still legal in New Zealand… it’s time the UN did something!

Why I should have hated attending the Eden Park Test, but didn't

yes too right… another great queensalnder born and bred… we simply need more of em!

What Link must learn from Bledisloe 2

agree Brett is a credit to the roar and one of the fastest bowlers the world has ever seen!

The NRC wrap: Round 1

Okay so I have a couple of cars on blocks, some rusted out swings, and the pool hasn’t been cleaned since 2001, plus I keep some endangered species in cages, its a bit untidy but what’s it to you, I’m feeding the animals most days!

My favourite is Liam Gill, a baby wallaby who I’ve vowed not to release until the ARU stop conspiraing to keep him out of the Wallaby team…. if that Joey dies blood will be on your hands Bill Pulver!

Law variations are the real killer of the NRC

Okay I will tell you a story about the last time I went to Ballymore a place for ever dear to me heart.

It was 1996 and I had just finsihed training to be a cook in the army and stationed at Enoggera (I was not long after dishounarably discharged for conduct unbecoming… lets just say that Lieutenant will never try the Risotto again!) anyways the Wallabies were playing Canadia and so me and a few of the cooks on base had a wow of a time at Ballymore…. I remember that night relatively well… we got off to a slow start but eventually got on top of those men from Canadia and drank them under the table at City Rowers…. tempers ended up flaring a bit but I’d say overall it was a resounding victory to us in that fight!

Pretty sure the Wallabies won comfortably as well.

The NRC wrap: Round 1

haha Wales…next thing you’ll tell me we have a game against Netherlands…Peter Pan is their captain I guess.

McKenzie set to make widespread changes to Wallabies

please explain

McKenzie set to make widespread changes to Wallabies

Are you kidding? I’ve never even set foot in NSW and have only ever left Queensland once for an overseas trip to tassie.

I’v vowed never to again go an an international trip… couldn’t even find a TAB in hobart. Horrible place.

Wallabies changes inevitable after Eden Park

Yes and its not like the Wallabies under Robbie Deans ever beat South Africa more than maybe once in 5 years. So if we can be competitive against them we’ll have made great progress.

McKenzie set to make widespread changes to Wallabies

yes 6ft and 5cm… that’s pretty much what I said.

Wallabies changes inevitable after Eden Park

Thaiday is 6ft 5

Wallabies changes inevitable after Eden Park

What we need are viable intelligent solutions to the problems associated with having players like Hooper that have achieved nothing this season… so either Hodgson or Beau Robinson would be ideal solutions to this problem.

Obviously we agree there needs to be a change but we’ll have to agree to disagree on who should be there instead of that north sydney cafe late spping show pony.

I will concede that if not Beau Robinson than Liam Gill…a player i rate so highly I’ve kept a rock wallaby in a cage out the back and I’ve named him Liam in his honour. I won’t release him back into the wild until Liam plays for the wallabies again so its blood is on your hands Bill Pulver.

Wallabies changes inevitable after Eden Park

Yes my lord!

SPIRO: The Wallabies All Blacked-out at Eden Park

I honestly believe it should come down to where you were conceived. That would stop the problem and boost no’s for Queensland as it is a statistical fact that 75% of all aussies were conceived during schoolies on the Gold Coast.

Playing for 'your' country - not as simple as it seems

because he would gice away too many penalty tries unlike the world’s best loose-head Slipper!

McKenzie set to make widespread changes to Wallabies

100% agree with FOS!

Beau Robinson should be rushed into the starting side.

Wallabies changes inevitable after Eden Park

That’s why we need Thaiday in the second row and Cameron Smith at Hooker.

yes my lord!
