That #8 Rooster fan. Hero or Zero?

[Bates]

I say we keep Toops playing until he beats the record out of spite.

I mentioned the same thing to my missus last night.

We should pump Toops with whatever it takes to keep him playing and offer 10k cash for each try assist down the left edge.

[SamKerrSimp]

He wouldn't make the top 20 wingers I've seen and wouldn't be in the top 50 wingers of all time he's one of the most overrated players of all time.

Roosters fans running on the field last night aren't true Roosters fans.

[Mickie Lane]

I dont know what to make of it
But the thought that came to me was do you know how you always see a photo or video clip of some Souths dude wearing their jumper & its at the Superbowl or its at the Final in the world cup soccer or Tour de France well this time every time someone clicks on to watch the Alex Johnson scoring the most ever tries the first thing they will see is a Roosters jumper.

[Mickie Lane]

It was a Mickie Lane.

I couldnt help myself, I love Souths hehehehe

the fuss over it was a bit odd. footy tries are different from wickets taken in cricket or home runs hit in baseball in that they're a team thing. most of aj's tries wouldn't have been because of his individual brilliance.
but that said, it's not the kind of thing that will happen every day. the people spoke and it turned out alright. it was good for the game

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Trying to work out the motive of that #8 Roosters fan who was first over the fence & joined Johnson's celebrations.

Hero or Zero?

How on earth could a real fan join a Souffs celebration as first on-site?

Or was it a ploy to forever be seen on footage to be a celebration spoiler? Lol

Hero for sure. He was cool, just super excited to enjoy the experience, even though he supports the opposition. Looked like he couldn't believe he got there first before a souths fan. The fact that he got there first is maybe the highlight of the whole thing for me.

[bondi paul]

I found it highly amusing after all of Souths supporters talk of storming the field and then the warnings The first one one who had the balls to get over the fence was a Roosters supporter

Yes prepared to risk the 5.5 k fine whereas vermin fans too scared to risk a deduction from their fortnightly Centrelink payment's.

I didn't make anything of it. He just looked like a youngster enjoying a game of Rugby League and grabbed the opportunity when it came to have a run on the field. Without doubt he will replay this to his friends and family several times - good on him.

Also, the heritage 'Samsung' jersey he was wearing is a cracker and it certainly stood out.

Always nice to ruin Russell Crowe's day and for the Roosters to have a victory.

What you really mean is what a farking mong, loser, idiot, retard, traitor, fool etc.

Don't hold back mate. The truth will set you free!!!!!

Even he admits alot of the tries he gets a served on a platter, but he does his job very well, rarely misses a chance, easy to say any other wingers would score the tries that he has, but we see far too many wingers out of position, Or drop an easy pill.

the focus on wingers these days seems to be the amount of hit ups they do, but their job has always been to score tries.

Is he overrated? I don’t think so.

[ism22]

I was more impressed with the fan that ran out on the field with a bucket of chips for Latrell

Shoulda handed him a beer a ciggies.

But that's the thing. Was he a youngster?

Looked a bit older to me which stood out, hence the question.

Anyway all good I guess, he's pretty well known now. Funny when you think about it now.

[Bruce Pickett]

Yeah it was great. Loved the celebration, and I'm glad this "Random Easts Bloke' did it - did he do it to spite Souffs or is he a traitor?

The ambiguity is poetic.

But more important question, is he on the Chookpen?

[BondiBob]

In all seriousness it’s s still playing as well as he ever hasa great record for AJ to have achieved. I remember the all the talk of Billy Slater running up the trys, and everyone saying, "but no ones ever gonna catch Irvine's record." Hopefully Toops can get to the 200 mark as well.

Toops is still playing as well as he ever has hope he plays on an absolute pleasure to watch

[Bansai Pipeline]

If anything I thought it made our fans look gracious.

I'm not sure you'd ever see a Souths fan being a good sport, if that's what you could call it?
