I was flicking through the channels the other night here in Auckland and came to Maori TV Channel, who were having a show about young Maori players in the NRL. I was about to keep flicking when onto the screen comes a fairly full KGV stand / Kiosk terrace and the sound of "Newtown is coming, hear the Bluebags humming....." at full blast!
They proceded to show film of the ground/crowd, followed by interviews with the 2 Balmain players they were featuring in the new dressing rooms. They actually spoke to them before the game, showed the coach addressing them at 1/2 and full time, and spoke with them again after the game so I got to see the dressing sheds in all their glory.
Anyway, the main thing was that all tries in the game were covered with full commentary (in Maori so the only words I understood were "Jets" and "Tigers"), with decent footage and lots of cheering in the background. The scores also came up with each try so you could watch Newtown come from about 20 down at halftime to win by a couple of tries (34-26 I think)!
Amazing......... great crowd that day by the looks of things and they played a good chunk of the Newtown club song before and after the game. Easily the most footage I have seen of Jets since 83!
