Killing time until kickoff

[W.Smith]

This weekend past was horrid, as is the weekend before kickoff for me anyway most years these days. I was just having a look around here and in other teams forums and on a site i love called the Asylum and on radio yesty and last night and im getting a laugh out of seeing how xcited people are getting for the season kickoff - i love it !

So apart from work and reading the SMH, Telecrap, Illawarra Mercury, RLR, Big League and website previews how are you killing time until kickoff

Over the weekend i watched a couple of Saints games from last year and even pulled out the STG V NQ 2000 WIN stadium game as well as watching Wests v Manly MNF from 2009 and today i watched Wigan v Bradford that i taped while i was at work last night and also watched a few teams Summertime league shows again that ive recorded over the past few weeks on Fox and am now off to kill some more time at Gym

I am busting for Friday to get here !!!

Thanks Doug.

It will be a great weekend - Dragons game on Friday night; then the Engagement party on sat avo; then most likely going to the bunnies v roosters game with my cousin who is flying down from QLD for the party (he's a roosters supporter unfortunately); then the return of F1 racing on Sunday night! BRING ON THE WEEKEND!!

I've been supporting Saints for a few seasons now, like an old pro I'm just biding my time till kickoff. Mind, it's hard to get 'fired-up' in N/W Victoria with no supporters of the game about and no media coverage, except for a few paragraphs dedicated to the sewage team in Melbourne.

Teams should be out today, yes??

More so probably Carlton Draught, Big Pat.

Some what off topic, going on the strange places you see St. George fans. I was watching a World Series cricket classic on Fox this arvo, they had the Windies V. Australia at the MCG. In '89. The game where Steve Waugh takes that ripper catch near the sightscreen with Merv Hughes lurking nearby, Boonie and Dean Jones drop some utter dollys as well:shock:. During a snap to the crowd after a Windies wicket there's a bloke waving a flag proudly in his Red V:crazy:, certainly caught my attention.

Lucky bastards the lot of you!! :lol:

I have to put my head in the sand until 9pm Friday (Western time) night to watch the game on Foxsports

Big Norm I feel your pain living in Perth but most of my friends are all Leaguies or don't care which Rugby code is on so Friday night will be good!

Can't wait!
