Sports Prophet

Yeah, I thought so too. I mentioned on a new thread that I reckon they should be supporting the Army instead of the Navy, seeing as the colours work so well for a marriage between the Bunnies and the Army.

I feel like Souths are missing an obvious trick by aligning themselves with the Navy. Their colours are green and red. Green being infantry and red being poppies as obvious mix with armed forces. Let alone a large army barracks in Randwick/Maroubra. Seems a little bit of a miss fire. An army green with red piping would look awesome I reckon.

The woman blowing The Last Post for the Rooters v Dragons game was superb. You could see how much it meant to her, you could see her tears being held back at the end as she took a big gulp. I love how the codes get behind this day so well, without making it too commercial.

You take full responsibility yet can’t bring yourself to apologise

Didn’t age well

He walks among you already

Auto correct mate. Wasn’t that funny. Did you really laugh out loud? I doubt you were lol’ing by the end of the ANZAC match

No I didn’t.

Today is Anzac Day and the football codes will be full of fixtures. The NRL does a great job of honouring the Australian and New Zealander veterans of conflict since the Boar War. Unforgotten are all the British and other veterans who have made the same sacrifices as our veterans to defend our freedoms. I hope as many of us can take the time to watch the pre match ceremony of one of today’s or this weekend’s fixtures and take time to consider how lucky most of us are to have had such brave people stand up for us all.

Just as Trindall is starting to hit straps and Sharks due a tough 9 weeks to stay top 4, let alone top, he goes and makes a poor judgement like that! He will be kicking himself. Hope he isn’t rubbed out for too long. I don’t think Dykes is ready and I am really worried about our depth in the halves. Newtown have Hiroti playing in #6. With all due respect, he is not an NRL winger, let alone 5/8 or half.

Dale Finucane announces his immediate retirement whilst Wally Lewis calls on national government to fund $18m CTE research. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-23/dale-finucane-retirement-wally-lewis-cte-investment-plea/103758830

No doubt that £7.5k of Go Fund me dosh was put to a credible use.

I feel like such a list should prompt some sort of conversation. For me… I still like the idea of a Fijian NRL side. It’s the most prosperous nation of the smaller pacific isles and certainly produces the most talent and most of all, there would be far more likelihood of non Fijians moving to play there than non Papuans moving to Moresby. Alas, I think there are other destinations a bigger priority than Fiji. Be great to see them in the NSW Cup soon.

Another great watch.

You guys would make terrible commanders for accepting such insubordination. If it was me, that rendition of the last post would have had me sending him to the Eastern Front immediately.
