I think this needs to be kept in the archives as it is such a Minties ad.

“Spilled his lollies”

Dude, this is an 18-wheeler that jackknifed, tipped over and spilled the payload full of Allen’s across the f**kin’ highway in both directions

At least it wasn't 18-all in the grand final when that happened. That Dragons players lives to fight another day!

A dud end to a magic round, as Beave said.

Rd 9 Ladder:




It ain't no fluke, is it? No, we deserve this. Although, that f/a is now a deep concern. A couple of losses and we'll take a tumble.

Crazy watching that all unfold. I was watching the game with a bunch of Tigers supporters and even they felt bad for Su'a lol

lol, I remember Martin Offiah show boating and dropping the ball once, Su'a didn't do that, but all these one handed carries eventually one will go wrong, I remember Eric Grothe, regardless of the situation always seemed to drive low with both hands on the ball...

Giving away a try at the other end is next level punishment though, OMG

Yea man... I'd have less sympathy if he was farting around with a one handed put down or something, but to be diving for the ground, somehow knock it out with his own knee and give up the opposing score... bloody hell. You couldn't script a more calamitous chain of events. Even Vossy wanted to give him a hug lol

1 of my faves of all time was I think Fishiai’i in the 20s slowing down and saluting before putting it down and getting hit from behind as he tried to put it down

Here in Hobart I got deeply nostalgic when I looked over yonder and saw Bellerive Oval.

Three games stood out. First, during the '87/88 WSC we went down here to play Sri Lanka. The crowd invented the infamous 'Hadlee's a wanker' chant, which tormented the great man for the rest of the tour.

Two, our last preliminary game of the 1990/91 WSC. We needed to beat the previously unbeaten Australia for a chance to make the finals in the new year. The equation? Aussie needed 6 off 7 balls, with the last pair in. Greg Mathews hits a legside Morrison ball for four. Two off six, Pringle to Bruce Reid, and he couldn't lay bat on ball! Run out off the last ball and we win by one run!

We head home for Christmas knowing inept England wouldn't beat Australia in the new year to deny us a finals spot. The Poms had two chances and failed.

Three, that glorious seven run test match win in 2011. Winning a test in Australia is a pinnacle for NZ cricket. Bellerive Oval sparkled in the Autumn sunlight for me today.

That 2011 test was amazing, start of Boult’s test career I think, and Bracewell never kicked on. Fine century by Davey Dumb Dumb


Hadlee was something else, but the Tasmanians had every right to their perception that he didn’t make an effort with them when they signed him…. Certainly didn’t do much, maybe was hurt but left them feeling aggrieved

That's right, Hadlee's first class teams were NZ, Canterbury, Nottinghamshire and Tasmania. In Tassie he was injured a bit but still put in. I don't know what the in-breds were complaining about.

How about this for a nightmare end to that 2011 test? Lyons scrambles two then the next over Warner wins it with a six. Australia win by one wicket. It's such a fine line. Heaven and hell.

Rugby league can suck so bad...I can't even imagine how horrific being a Drags fan would have been when that happened. A literal 12-point turnaround, and you're conflicted because Su'a is a beast but that is next level bad.

Similar to how the Cows felt when Clifford throws the ball straight to Pompey on halftime.
