i remember either 04 or 05 fox sports commentator summing it up pretty good after scoring a ridiculous try against the sharks "and matty bowen has scored a try that only matty bowen can", pre-knee recons was freakish watching a guy that could hit full speed in 3 steps and actually accelerate and side step at the same time.

Also remember when we use to play the dogs at carrara stadium and this time it was the friday night after origin that mango played in and backed it up with a MOM (think that is why he was being interviewed in the sheds) performance in a 40 point flogging of them, said atleast 4 sentences in some language only known to him. Was replayed on boots'n'all by gus on that sunday and he stared befuddled at the screen and said "i have watched that atleast 10 times now and i still have no idea what he said" lol

He was always a mystery when he spoke...generally he was fine, occasionally he deadset spoke in tongues :lol:

Put a camera in front of him and he goes to shit. Well he did in the early days, he has gotten a bit better over the years. When they had that run in 04, i was living in tvl went down for their semis in sydney (still f**king ropable at simpkins for that game, but that is for another time) and after both games was lucky enough to get on the turps with the boys and pretty much every celebrity/hanger oner from NQ at the Novotel in Coogee. Mango was fine when you would talk to him, he must just get real nervous with the media.

God that was an amazing 3 weeks of my life that semis run in 2004. First time ive slept out for tickets (broncos semi) wish we could have those days again :-(

Definately got envy from dragons fans that we should have gone all the way to a GF with fien handling the reigns. back when we didn't need internationals in the side, just blokes that gave a f$ck. Definition of a champion team instead of a team of champions

with benji gone, hayne with another spoon, burgess's name squirelled. Who will the channel 9 wankfest adopt next year?

They're already playing the Burgess incident for laughs.

The Ham Burgers wankfest will continue.

That smug little merkin can go f**k himself as far as Im concerned. I have a few mates that are friends with him and on FB I can see when they are posting on each others timeline/wall. It takes a shit tin of restraint on my behalf to not give it deluxe to the clown.

glad we didnt pay top dollar to keep him, made of glass. Got himself a bradbury premiership from 5th place in a year where i have never seen so many top 8 sides drop their bundle (including us) at the worst possible time of the year in consecutive weeks

Don't talk to me about dropped bundles in 2005....:( Ekka's fingertips were just about all that stood between us and a premiership. We started great but after that and Wagon's brain explosion racing out of the line we fell apart. Would have preferred Cows over Tigpies though

It was a sweet sound that snap.

I don't wish ill on any player but what he did to us was f**king disgraceful and you can throw Sheens into the debacle as well, apparently he encouraged Prince to leave as well.
