And yet he is revered by the likes of the buffoons on the NRL footy show when in reality he isas truly awful person. So take what he NRL media say with a grain of salt as a lot of the time they have it just so wrong.
    Either Tommy Raudonikis, Phil Gould (did he play SOO?) or Phil Sigsworth! Doubt it would be the latter. Since newtown were fitzroyed in 1983 and SOO was a fairly new concept i can only think its tommy or phil.

            I used to love when HG and Roy referred to him as "What's a packeta" on the Festival of the Boot.

                OMG absolutely they do. The media is non-stop Parramatta this and Wests Tigers that. Jarryd Hayne gets a double page feature spread in todays rag. Parramatta and Manly are the back page stories. There are a handful of paragraphs devoted to the Storm a few pages in but it's only regarding some salary cap rorting stuff. You wouldn't know Melbourne and Brisbane are on top of the ladder by the coverage.. but hey, they cater to their Sydney readership/listeners and i'd only expect Melbourne to be the same... so we've just got to get the ball rolling by getting a few of you Melbourne based fans to start bombarding SEN

                  Sydney amazing value at 3.35. Goodes back and Swans seriously good...top 4 bound

                  Big call this. I'm going to hold off on whether we're contenders of not until about the 29th of Sept. Will get a clearer picture then.

                    6th on the line of Premiership betting.. The top 5 are all under $10 then there's a big gap between us, Essendon and Fremantle in the $20-$30 range. Probably fair enough at this stage.

                    You can still grab a GWS bargain at 5000/1

                      I agree that 3.35 is big overs for head to head considering Swans are sitting higher on the ladder. I've put a bet on it. C'mon Swannies!

                              The confidence from the woin over hawks will see us into the next few rounds, which is good because Adelaide and Richmond at MCG are 2 of the harder games in our draw, but then, who picked us to beat the Hawks, Billy Brownless and Leigh Colbert did, must be good judges. If we can kep playing like that we will be there at the end
