Most Over Used term in League

[the animal]

DOGS of WAR?

HAHAHAHA

 

[Spanner in the works]

That's a penalty. Or "we are going to check the grounding". f**k you refs! The game isn't about you!

 

[eaglerock]

"Choke" is much more overused if you ask me.

only because its used when the eels play...

 

[eaglerock]

"its a game of inches" - NO NFL IS A GAME OF INCHES
"great mark" - WHAT THE F - ITS NOT AFL
"the better team lost" - NO THE BETTER TEAM WON, THATS WHY THEY WON
"jarryd hayne is a superstar" - NO HE PLAYS GOOD IN A RUBBISH TEAM FOR 10MINS EVERY 4 GAMES

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

"the scoreline doesn't represent the way the match was played..."

 

[redvscotty]

This one shits me to tears and was used last night. Warren Ryan I believe.

"And the Tigers will play from in front tonight."

 

[Cliffhanger]

"they'll be looking to score here"

 

[Butters]

In any interview with any player ever half the words they say will be "ya know".

 

[get amongst it]

He's one of the toughest players in the NRL, he doesnt go down unless its something serious- about every player that stays down.

Good thread. I love the league lexicon! Some more favourites:

pulled his pants down and smacked his backside
the Dragons have your Gasniers, your Coopers, your Nightingales, your Darius Boyds
if you're the Roosters, you want the Dragons to take the penalty goal here
the fatigue factor
the bounce-back factor
they wanted it more
the effort was there
they're physically not in the contest

and Laurie Daley's new favourite word: energy

they're playing with good energy
the Dragons have all the energy at the moment
energy around the ball
that kind of play generates energy in a football team

 

[betcats]

"hes the type of player you love to play with".

 

[Robbo De Lechez]

"for mine"

 

[some11]

"for mine"

I remember Gus started saying this last year then everyone started saying it. How hard is it to say "from my point of view"?

 

[Charles Bronson]

"he is a great player"

A great is langlands, raper, lewis.....not Chris Lawrence (just using him as an example)

agree, they throw that word around so much it has lost it's meaning.

"its a game of inches" - NO NFL IS A GAME OF INCHES
"great mark" - WHAT THE F - ITS NOT AFL
"the better team lost" - NO THE BETTER TEAM WON, THATS WHY THEY WON
"jarryd hayne is a superstar" - NO HE PLAYS GOOD IN A RUBBISH TEAM FOR 10MINS EVERY 4 GAMES

agree with all

"they'll be looking to score here"

lol it's as if we are unsure if the team wants to score that we need to be reminded by the commentator.

"they'll be looking to score here"

oh shiit? really? I thought they were going for a field goal!! wow thanks for telling me Gus!

He's one of the toughest players in the NRL, he doesnt go down unless its something serious- about every player that stays down.

agree

This one shits me to tears and was used last night. Warren Ryan I believe.

"And the Tigers will play from in front tonight."

Or Warren Smith.

 

[jason taylor]

"Josh Dugan is a superstar!"

 

[Bicey_18]

" He has such great legspeed" - Laurie Daley

i feel like i've just watched a game on fox after reading this post

 

[slipperykinchela]

Can't believe this hasn't come up, my mOst hated:
"leagues going well when souffs are going well", well league has been f**ked then for 40 years.
And another favourite " it's not his go"

 

[oval]

"for mine"

Yep.

Never seen this term used anywhere other than the rugby league context. It's weird.
