Haha I remember watching origin 2 at the local and some guys at the back before the game and when Morris finally came on kept yelling "JOSH MORRIS" the same way as MATT DAMON from Team America.

Of course this wasn't a go at the player rather his selection on the bench but still pretty funny.

 

[DubaiSaint]

"totally" Ian Roberts
"do something stupid" Shearer
"butterball" buderas
"toot-toot all aboard the Hoppa Train" Hoppate
refering to a back doing something bad, was "shades of ainscough"
the walters boys, Prune the Quince and Kumquat
"the master of the dark arts " mortimer

Roy & HG are currently calling Hopoate "Stinkfist" given his new boxing career roll.

I live in Dubai and still podcast their show... sad its only on Friday / Mondays.

Classic stuff!

They recently are calling Nate Myles "the carpet layer" and there are a few more that escape me...

And to reply to myself, Ricky "The Games Best Thinker" Stuart is now called "Carlos Schmeerson".... don't ask why, just listen to the podcasts after the Sharks went to Adelaide to play...

I always liked Roy and HG's nicknames:

The Brick with Eyes - Glenn Lazarus
The Unmade Bed - Andrew Johns
Adolf - Brad Fittler
About to cut loose - Brad Fittler
Freddie Kroeger - Brad Fittler
Smiths Crisps - the Smith brothers
Cheese and Chives - Darren Smith
Salt and Vinegar - Jason Smith
The 2 Dollar Coight - Mark Coyne
Debbie - Brett Dallas
The Penalty Puller - Tony Hearn
FUB - Mark Gasnier
Over the Hill - Terry Hill
Under the Hill - Scott Hill
The Sook - Steve Menzies
Backdoor Benny - Ben Elias
Petrol 70 Cents a Litre - Petro Civoniceva
The Grateful Head - Martin Lang
Russell Wyer - Jamie Ainscough
The greatest centre partnership of all time - John Skardon and Adrian Vowels
The Squirrell Grip Man - Martin Bella
Call Me Cam - Cameron Smith
Hello Sailor - Dell
The Poo in the Shoe - Julian O'Neill
The Golden Shower Boy - Julian O'Neill
Raw Boned Country Lad - Craig Fitzgibbon
Steamin' and Rollin' - Stacey Jones
The fart with a whistle - Kelvin Jeffes
The Tap - Mark Geyer
The Tap Two - Matt Geyer
The Germans - Manly
The Allies - St. George
The Cumquot - Kevin Walters
Dish Head - Greg Dowling

Classic. They used to call Terry Hill 'The Fizzer" & blow a massive raspberry when he got the ball in Origin & go dead quiet until he played it.

I reckon The Grateful Head was the best. Well remembered Jason.

They were awesome.

 

[reptar]

Not a nickname, but Roy and HG used to say with Wishart: "Wishart's got the ball and he's run directly into the nearest player!"

 

[Red Bear]

"Wisharts got the ball, have a cup of tea"

Kerrod Walters - the prune
Kevin Walters - The Kumquat
Steve Walters - the quince

Also love
Ben Kennedy - The President

The nickname was given after a comment made by Slaven or Nelson remarking how much Kennedy looks like his namesake, former US President John F. Kennedy. In reality the burly, bald-headed Kennedy looks nothing like JFK, but Roy and HG ran with this joke by making references to Air Force One and The White House when Kennedy had possession of the ball.

And Tommy "Raw-don-neek-us" - the correct greek pronunciation

 

[K-Man]

Not a nickname, but Roy and HG used to say with Wishart: "Wishart's got the ball and he's run directly into the nearest player!"

So true. I love that line.
