Probably three of our best ever props.
Probably three of our best ever props.
That sort of warms the cockles of your cockles let alone your heart. Awesome photo.
Now that's a cool photo.
**** man, Petero and Webby - what a pair of legends.
Look at the props in the game nowadays, there's no one like Civoniceva and Webcke. Two no-nonsense good blokes who would never let you down. None of all the wanky shit we get today, **** I miss footy 15+ years ago. It was a different world.
We're saturated with it now. Money is the be all and end all for players, clubs, etc. They all want to milk their supporters for every dime they have with exorbitant merchandise and ticket prices. Most of the players are just self-indulged fuckwits who are all looking to establish their 'brand'.
We spend half our time on here talking finances and contracts, not to mention refereeing.
The news coverage is insane - if Player A gets a flat tyre out driving, we'll hear about it. If Player B grabs a hash brown from Maccas on the way home from training, we'll hear about it. Like I said, saturated.
Take me back to the late 90s, early 2000s when the balance was right. Footy was about footy, and I all the players didn't have social media accounts showing us how cool they are.
Ah, a boy can dream.

Ran into Webke one night at City Rowers in the toilets. He'd had a pretty rough game at the time, not sure if he'd been in a fight or copped a high shot but he was pretty busted up.
Me: Rough day mate?
Webke: *looks over with a silent stare*
Me: *zips up quickly* have a good night mate. Go the broncs. Love ya work.
Mate, talking to randoms at the urinal is illegal.
Ask him again some day, when you are not holding your knob.Ran into Webke one night at City Rowers in the toilets. He'd had a pretty rough game at the time, not sure if he'd been in a fight or copped a high shot but he was pretty busted up.

Has always taken unders to stay with us too. He was offered more by the dolphins, and the contract before that the bulldogs offered him more too.Fkn gun. Question: where would he be today if Brisbane had retained all their high-potential-but-troubled young pack of Lodge, TPJ, Fifita etc? Like, in that possible pack he would be an undeserved fringe first grader right?
