[Stigmundfreud]

When you need to poke fun at them?

Well done to the Saints

[phrich]

I'll step up.

Who are the Saints and what do they play?

I notice they haven't played it in Oz for a good few years, I wonder why that is??!

Always a closer match when it is played over there. Looking forward to the Tri-Nations again at the end of the year, I assume it is over there??
Don't worry I am an converted Aussie! Just much prefer the way the Aussies/Kiwis play it as opposed to the UK!

I'll put in the token Aussie reply.. sorry, been away from the PC since Sat.

Being from Melb, never followed Rugby League but i'm pissed to hear we lost to a soap dodger side none the less!

How'd the Rugby Union go in ireland by the way?????

comedy moment in the pub last night. We were staying down in Lulworth in this quiet bar when the atmosphere was cut with what can only be classed as the most grating sound known to man.... 2 bloody Australians .

Anyway, I digress. Of course this couple (who were very nice by the way) were going on about the Ashes etc until someone chirped up about the 3 more recent defeats. That was the first blow so I kind of dropped in the league game and you could almost see the physical "ooph" reaction in their guts.

As for Union, who cares?!

got chatting to them and had a good night. I asked if they worked in a pub in London and they said no, because all the bloody polish have those jobs

being mostl irish that means you can pick and choose your team as you like?

That game was a political one. Can you imagine the resultant riots, resumption of terrorist activities etc if we had won?

course I have a feeling this thread "may" come back to bite me should we stuff up in the world cup...

[Raggyman]

But hang about they were playing Brisbane... they are hopeless.. only good when alfie comes to hold their hands..

IMHO a team that reaches a final of that calibre is not hopeless...lucky maybe, but not hopeless...they have to be there on merit surely?

Listening to the radio down here on the weekend and they mentioned that the Broncos had played the Canberra Raiders on Sunday or Saturday night. They had effectively used their third team and still beaten Canberra. I am sure Canberra aren't that bad.

[bovered79]

Canberra raiders are pants! well they were a few years ago aint seen the NRL since then.

[Stigmundfreud]

can a mod pull this thread cos the world cup is looming and I dont want some ausie git bouncing this in some form of smug irony

[BO55 VXR]

Nope.... You made your bed.....
