South Queensland Crushers

[Rufio]

Are the other threads still on here somewhere? Read the Mariners, Rams, Gold Coast and Reds ones, was interested in reading the Bears one if it ever got posted, my first Aussie jersey was a Bears one.

The club built for Broncos haters. It's any wonder it failed.

I remember watching Souths v Crushers at Redfern Oval in 1996 in front of a healthy crowd of around 3,000. I got shat on by a pigeon and my seat was broken but we won 48-16 and I remember being super excited as a 12 year old that we almost scored 50 points! Good times.

What does your Namibian friend think of the crushers?

He's too busy bouncing up and down on the ground, carrying things on his head and dying of disease and famine.

I was just thinking of the Crushers and was wondering how the team could have looked in say 1999 if they weren't kicked out of the competition and had planned things a bit better.

South Queensland Crushers 1999

1. Clinton Schifkofske
2. Michael Eager
3. Chris McKenna
4. Aaron Moule
5. Mat Toshack
6. Travis Norton
7. Troy Pezet/Kevin Carmichael
8. Clinton O'Brien
9. Phillip Lee
10. Danny Nutley
11. Matt Bickerstaff
12. Scott Sattler
13. Nigel Gaffey

14. David Myles
15. Mark Tookey
16. Nathan Sologinkin
17. Steele Retchless

If you overlook the lack of a decent halfback i think that team is pretty decent you add a good Half back and maybe a winger and i think they could have been a possible top 8 team.

Bottom 4 contender. Would just depend on how crap the other bottom teams were

What does your Namibian friend think of the crushers?

The Namibian Friend would have a soft spot fior them being the underdog with a train logo.
And they shared Namibian colours.

He would not barrack for them because they aint union or local to St Ives but would almost certainly be his second team.

 

[Mogsheen Jadwat]

I think he would have as well as they did have Garrick Morgan play for them, thus the Union connection would've been made.

was there any team that didnt beat the crushers by 50?, maybe the cowboys and chargers

I think he would have as well as they did have Garrick Morgan play for them, thus the Union connection would've been made.

I wonder if any NRL team has thought about embarking on submitting teams into both codes.

EG. Have wests tigers play in the NRL and shute shield.

Could even go a step further and have players interchange through the cross code portal, strengthening ties with the 15 man game.

[kdalymc]

Could some one confirm/deny Sth Qld had or wore an alternate jersey, a blue version with gold stripes.???

Yeah f*ckwit. :roll: Qlds capital city with over 1.5 million population and the Crushers were brought in "for the Bronco's haters"

Your IQ regresses further and further by the day.

Can confirm

 

[Foreign Legion]

Nice

 

[Loose Cannon]

Can confirm

Only ever saw this once. But thought it was much better than the main.

 

[kdalymc]

Can confirm

Holy f**k how did you find that???
Only wore it once?
And looks like something special for Gilly so maybe his last game or something?
And yeah does look better than the original

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Gilmeister retired at the end of the 1996 season.

Crushers played Canberra that day.

Maybe a clash necessitated the alt colour scheme.

Am probably grasping at straws though.
