Why

Lol, sounds like you know what you're getting yourself into mate.

Madmans correct though a lot of Easts fans up this way.

I just hope you don't like beer. Cats Piss or xxxx as they refer to it will kill a brown dog.

Well yes i like beer but different types like a Coopers pale ale, or Peroni, or Crown lager...I remember when I lived in Perth had to drink Emu bitter...urgh!!! Swan lager was weak ass...I got used to drinking redback. Not sure if I am looking forward to drinking XXXX

I never saw the game but that's a good write up you have given. Thanks.

The good ol Aussies come through. I'm proud of them. I don't think there is a thing in the game that Cameron Smith hasn't won.

I guess it feels fairly empty because it really was such a predictable result.

The bookies knew it from the start, giving some juicy odds for NZ to win it, but they were never really a chance. They saw the punters coming and fleeced them.

The England NZ game was fantastic, but left NZ so bruised they were no chance this week.

IMO Australia have some really unlikable characters in Slater, Gallen, Boyd, Thaiday...the list goes on....

My sentiments too. Throw in Smith and Inglis as well. I guess it comes back to the whole Qld v NSW thing, I just can't like the smugness that some of them show. Matt Scott and Corey Parker I like. They come across as unassuming but the rest of them have that smugness that comes with success and a touch of arrogance I suppose.

Happy as a Turk in mud here that Aussies won. But playing RTS was dumb IMO.

Go Aussies, and while I am at it QUEENSLANDER ya muppets!

You have my commiserations but at least you selected a great NRL team.

That's why they are so good.

slater, smith jt, cronk and inglis may have won the world cup, but they did not win the grand final!

But have they not all won GFs???

They hadn't won a WC though.

I was impressed how they celebrated. They showed a lot of emotion and seemed to really be a tight unit even insisting the non playing members of the squad join the podium.

Overall it was pleasing to watch the tournament IMO.

Too many have lost the feel of watching the green and gold in RL.

I still recall Roo Tours, staying up late with my old Man, even when there were few or no Easts players involved.

I've still got all the roo tours on video.

I used to pull them out all the time when I was a kid, 86 and 90 are probably worn out I watched them that much.

i can remember listening to the radio briooadcasts early hours of the morning listenng out for ron saddler and kevin junee on kangaroo tours, seems like so long ago now and it was! early sixties? just like my age now!

[Headless Chook]

That's why they are so good.

Doesn't mean I have to like or support them though. Look at the total selflessness and humility that is SBW in comparison.

I struggle with that era of Roos. Not a Chook in sight.

I am telling you now rocky, best place in Brisbane is a place called The Plough Inn on a Saturday or Sunday arv. The peroni is cold, the bands are great and piece piss to get anywhere from there.

Bring on 2014.

Chook.

I can recall a night out in about 2003ish when I was with a group of mostly non Easts fans and we ran into some of the Rooster boys. We all ended up having a few ales and a chat etc, fun night.

The next day to a person those non Easts fans couldn't believe how the boys were "top blokes", not the arrogant twats that they previously thought them to be.

I'm guessing its mostly only Us who think our players are all kool and the gang.

As other fans think the same about their players from their teams.

Legend Greeds.

I'm jealous, I have some books but no videos from those eras.

Couldn't give a rats.
RL is never going to be an international game.
As the scoreline showed, there is no genuine competition.

You could say the same about Australia in the Sokka.

Remember when the Sri Lankins were a warm up match in the cricket???

Pretty competitive now.

If we don't at least try and grow the game it's inevitable it will eat itself.

Even the gAyFL know this and act accordingly to ensure their games market doesn't decrease.
