It was all a gee up in the end. Rumour started by one individual then kept going for 20 years!

McDonalds didn't exist when I lived in Engadine. If it did, I'm sure I would've ****ed up royally

Was it a hip drop? Probably not, seeing how narrow the definition of hip drop has been made by the NRL these days. But I'd be surprised if he doesn't cope a charge for a dangerous tackle.

Would’ve thought it’s better to just try and level it while you have the field position
Matters not now

Storm to drop this game you would think now
They are not the team they have been and I can’t see them finishing this off strong

Now watch them put in 3 quick tries

Is there currently a more entitled, navel-gazing coach than this bloke? Remember that acceptance speech for the Coach of the Year award a couple of years ago?
FMD

They now play that speech on loop at “Sleep disorder anonymous” meetings.

Their successful cure rate has amazingly increased 100 fold since they introduced the speech into their treatment options.

Like what? Genuine question.

Maybe we should look into that if we can secure government funding
We used to host Sydney Olympic soccer games in the old NSL a couple of decades ago (I went to a couple due to freebies from school) until they ****ed off to Oki Choki Oval the year that league died.

I don’t know if it’s already been mentioned but Fitz must give great halftime speeches.
In the first ten games they are:
1st half - 130 for & 106 against
2nd half - 152 for & 52 against
Only 2 teams, Tigers (14) & Rabbits (16) have gotten to double digits. The balance are 6 points or less with 4 not scoring any in the second half.
Great effort by the team and coaching staff.
Let’s hope it continues!
