NRL All Stars Game - A potentially funny idea...

[I Bleed Green]

So on another Canberra forum we were talking about the upcoming All Stars v. Indigineous game where fans get to vote the team in and it gave me an idea.

There's no doubt that LU has a massive fanbase over every club, and if everyone got behind this idea, it could work.

My idea is collectively agreeing on one of the worst players in the NRL and voting them in the All Stars game. :lol:

Now hear me out. I'm not trying to make a mockery of this - I think it's a fantastic initiative and can't wait for the spectacle. But the fact is it's a 20-man squad so even if one of the worst ever players gets selected they'd be unlikely to play anyway, but it would still be funny to see the media and NRL do a collective 'WTF'? I just wanna see the people power we might have.

This might be one of my stupidest ever ideas, but I just think it'd be funny when they read out the team if you had something like:

"Jarryd Hayne ... Billy Slater ... Darren Lockyer ... Brett Kelly ... (for example)"

a) Is this a good idea or am I certifiably insane?

and

b) What players would you nominate to fulfill such a role?

Justin Carney over Brett Kelly tbh.

 

[Dogs Of War]

I think I get it, you want us to name the Roosters squad this year with a few Sharks players thrown in.

You're saying Justin Carney is one of the worst players in the NRL?!

*whoosh*

I think you missed the point of the thread, cupcake.

:lol: Nice...

You know, the first thing that springs to mind?

Groucho Marx wagging a big fat cigar saying "That's the stupidest thing I ever heard".


I'll go with my first impressions.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

John Morris, starting 1/2 for the Aboriginal Team (I reckon he could milk his way in). If not, then he can take the MVP No. 9 Jumper for the All Stars

P.S. Still hate this concept

 

[Kurt Angle]

People power picking Kurt Gidley instead of the NSW selectors, I get it

 

[meatloaf]

Can we get Anthony Watts Voted into the Indigenous Team

 

[MacDougall]

Surely we can all agree to vote in John Morris. For the love of all that is holy I would probably never be able to laugh again if that were to happen. It'd be the funniest moment in mankind.

 

[Bumble]

I'll gladly jump on the John Morris bandwagon if people actually want to do this.

 

[Ridders]

Pity Ben Czislowski is retired.

He put the "of" in "Dogs of War"

 

[Where Eagles Dare]

People power picking Kurt Gidley instead of the NSW selectors, I get it

:lol:


But yes, count me in for a vote for Johnny Morris.

 

[I Bleed Green]

The problem with Morris is although it would be hilarious to us and I agree, but the media and NRL seem to rate him ... so I don't know if it would be such a big 'WTF' moment ... know what I mean?

Can we get Anthony Watts Voted into the Indigenous Team

So Farah can belt seven shades of sh*t out of him?
