Have you seen "balmain boys" it's about an ex-balmain tigers player as a detective or something. I didn't really pay much attention to many of the details other than the fact that it was about an ex-league player.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

No Martli, haven't seen it or heard of it. Interesting, I might see if I can find something.

The official site has a few friendly reviews, also some interesting blurbs about filiming rugby league action and the cameo appearances by league players. Worth reading.

The movie "This Sporting Life" is often on the ABC late at night...It was on a few weeks back but comes up again every so often.

Spot on dude, I saw that film on the ABC late one night quite a few years ago. Harris when he was young was quite a big guy, actually looked like a footballer in it.

Ahn Do is the worst comedian ever. The best thing he ever did was sing karaoke in Little Fish.

Not while Craig McLaughlin still breathes he isn't.
