999 things we love about league

[colonel_123]

475. Jackson Lipina Lupina Makasini Richter Kaufusi: "I've got a head ache".

But in all fairness, I loved his two tries on debut!

476. People sitting on the roof's of near by houses to watch Wests play Souths at Leichardt in 2005. You can't do that at the MCG!

 

[Beaches Boy]

477. The Beaver crossing the try line another dozen times in 2006.

478. Watching Parramatta Choke over and over again.

479. Not having to listen the Phil Gould's endless crap with the Digital TV.

480. Knowing that Cronulla are no chance of winning a GF anytime soon.

481. The Panthers going from wooden spooners in 2001 to premiers in 2003

482. The fact that there have been 7 premiers in 7 different seasons since 1999 while the English Premier League Soccer has had only 4 different title winners since it started in 1992-93, with Manchester United winning the major prize 8 out of 13 seasons

483. Sexy cheerleaders going on to make something of a name for themselves. Like Jennifer Hawkins becoming Miss Universe and Amanda Flynn to a certain extent, as Lady Luck on the Footy Show

484. Penrith coaches and their colourful press conference remarks over the years, when we've been hammered. Some humour lessens the blow of a bad loss, slightly.

John Lang in his first game as Penrith coach after we were smashed by Parramatta 64-6 "They were like the Harlem Globetrotters"

Royce Simmons after Penrith got touched up by the Broncos at ANZ and missed 56 tackles in the process "That must be in the Guiness Book of Records"

485. Tim Smith, the long wait was over for a regular number 7
486. Watching young kids at Parramatta Stadium, doing the Mark Riddell salute
487. Seeing Terry Hill get crunched by Ben Smith
488. When people refer to "the good old days", shows like Boots n All for example
489. Brad Fittlers speech after the GF win over the Warriors in 2002, never seen a player so passionate
490. Test football, the closest its been in years
491. Fairytales in the last few years, Panthers, Cowboys, Tigers, Warriors reaching the big one

 

[MrSharky]

492. The silky skills of Adam Dykes.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

493- Yelling out " Last try wins!!"..well you could say that at a union game also..lol.

 

[blackfriday]

494 - the fact that it isnt union makes it so much better

 

[PARRA_FAN]

495. Seeing famous League legends on TV bagging Union, eg. Mark Geyer giving it to ARU for suspended Lote Tuqiri for a soft shoulder charge.

 

[SunkenEyes]

496- The fact that 18-0 isnt always a match winning lead at halftime.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

497 - When you become the best of mates with complete strangers for 80 minutes just because they are wearing the same jersey as you are.

 

[Stranger]

498 - It dosnt cost $50 like the cricket to get in the ground.

 

[innsaneink]

[Stranger]

500. Andrew Johns :lol:

 

[PARRA_FAN]

501. If a town, city, state or even country rates Rugby League as their number 1 sport.
502. Cooper Cronk try against Penrith last year in Melbourne, so good you have to see it over and over again, the Hill flick pass was the icing on the cake

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]
