Just got back from the game. Listened on the radio to the Storm ass rape souffs.

What an awesome day!

How good was it from the kick off when JWH just flattened Mosese Suli
It set the game up for the rest of the team.

JWH destroyed the Saints pack very reminiscent of that first week finals match a few years back where he bashed and crashed the entire Souffs pack bloody hell im going to miss the big fella he’s the heart of this team.

Just quickly I know you love the grubs, if you get a chance to watch the replay after the dragons first set 1min 40 seconds in watch what JWH does to Jack De Belin after the kick, hard to believe he got away with it. Hilarious

[milanja]

I thought Watson was great today.

His general play was great, but gee he looked good out of dummy half too, that ball he popped to Angus for the Teddy try was outstanding.

young butcher filled in nicely at center too, rugby Joe is a winger only in my eyes.

lol
I know I saw it.
People say he’s not a grub, he is the biggest grub & I love him.

I think Terrell May will become a ball playing forward, in the mould of Tohu Harris and my king of kings Simon Mannering. Lindsay Collins will be the alpha dog of the pack.

[bondi.boy]

Big is better.
Big, strong, fast...even better.

JWH
Collins
Smith
Gus (seems bigger and stronger than in recent times, so too both Butcher boys.)
Whyte
Wong
May
Watson, not so tall but strong and tough.
Young, 16 stone strong and fast.
Suaalii...bigger by the day, strong and fastish.
Manu, not a small centre.
Teddy, not skinny, ...and fast.
Walker, bigger, stronger.
Keary...is Keary, strong and made the tryline.

We were "too big, too strong, too fast".
My dream has come true.

What an awesome day!

OH RT glad to hear you got up to the game I didn’t go myself as had a hectic morning at the gym beach and cafes Watched it from the comfort of my lounge Yes it was an awesome day In fact as I’d say it was a perfect day and me never being one to
misd an opportunity for a sing song must post this

PS The arse raping of Souffs as you do elequently put it was highly entertaining

[Chookies74]

does anyone know the name of the serviceman who received the match day ball with Creagh & Freddy?

What’s that got to do with JWH being a grub?

[The Brain]

JWH will always be the man while he is here .

Speaking of JWH and the the start of the game.....i couldn't help thinking if it was reversed and JWH was the defender who went in and there was a head clash and Souli got knocked out as the ball carrier, im pretty sure JWH would have been sent off with the 'duty of care' excuse. What saved Souli from getting sent off yesterday was JWH'S head is a lot harder than his and the outcome was Souli being knocked out. Am i reading too much into it?

It wasn't a head clash. It was Jaydubs forearm and Sulis head colliding. No offence in it though, just a collision.

Jack if it was JWH raising a forearm and collecting Moses Souli head he would have been sent off and would have beat the bugler back into the sheds (ala Peter Kelly being sent off by Mick Stone after 8 seconds ANZAC day 1986- Dogs vs Souths)

If you go to NRL .com and check out the full replay you will see the front on slo-mo....Moses S temple hits JWH on the point of his jaw- lights out!

Thought it was pretty obvious but the Nine commentators were on a different page

Low key wouldn’t have been overly upset if Jared copped a week and played his 300th for the chooks at home against warriors
