Cheering in defence

me too .... I went through a angry merkin period when in 30s, but am less annoyed now - well try to be .... getting angry isn't worth it

I used to blast the car horn at merkins doing dumb shit - now I realise some crazy f**ker will get out of his car and knife you if you blast the wrong mofo, does it really matter if you are inconvenienced a little?

I've been calm and gentle since about 25. Unsure why. It just takes a lot of energy to get angry. And I couldn't be bothered with it all. Traffic, people not paying bills , people not replying to my messages is just part of life. I go like the nursery rhyme

Row row row your boat, gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream.

Yeah but your a winey annoying merkin.

Only because I drink wine and know more than you

My hair is its natural colour too. It's just that that its all disappeared.

My younger brother is grey already and I take great pleasure in that


Just the beard. I'll cop it for a lush head of thick blonde hair that even the Burgess brothers envy. Also I can catch

my hair is still all natural too ..... it was a non-normal brown colour for a long time tho - thank gods its gone natural now

I just quoted you because I had heaps of quotes to respond to!

I had the brother of a well known former (current at the time) KingsX kingpin pull a gun on me and smack me in the mouth one night at West Ryde for beeping at him and flashing my lights cos he was going so slow in his hotted up V8 Commo. He had just had a massive blue with his mrs and had a little newborn on the backseat. That got the adrenaline flowing.

Edit: Some of you would have gone to school with "Mad Joe" (not his real name).

I think one reason it's tough to cheer in defence in rugby league is that, unlike in American Football, it's very difficult to feel like you're winning when you don't have the ball. Unless you've got a team pinned on their line and susceptible to a rushing defence, the general trend of a team without the ball is to steadily concede territory, with a sense of relief when the opposition is finally forced to kick.

I remember going to a suburban game on the central coast with my old man when I was about 9 or 10.

People in the crowd were yelling out "Legs him" when their team was defending. I thought it was strange at the time and I don't believe I have ever heard anyone say it since.

We should bring it back!

Except subtly modified. Something like "chin him!" or "tear his f**king nuts off!"

The crowd should just chant f**k Pig! while we're defending. Mark Warren could get them started on the loudspeaker.

If you are talking about who I think you are, I went to school with the younger 2 brothers. The youngest one was in my year and played in my footy team for a couple of seasons. Good bloke if you are on the right side of him, not so good if you weren't

His real name was Simon. Which sounds odd cos he wasn't an Aussie.
