Dear Lord, if you give us back Johnny Cash, we'll give you Justin Bieber.
Go the Front Rower Benn Robinson.
When can i lay some hard earned vCash down
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
Robinson should win by a mile but it may go to Smith.
Giteau for the people's choice, by a point over Tuqiri...
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
Sharpe won't win because he has missed too many matches.
He is however, indisputably still our best Lock option when available.
Because you have only been around for a short time you wouldn't understand the comment re Lote.
“Tool” is a very outdated derogatory name, surely a Sydneysider could do better than that?
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
You mean because he is made of paper>>>>and it looked so promising , you had so many force players in the squad...
do you take angry pills every friday muddy?

Liquid dose perhaps?
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
Jeez if Sharpie is made of paper it makes me wonder what the Brumbies are made of? Cobwebs?
We should start referring to Mortlock as Darth Mortlock because after all those reconstructions he's more machine than man. And how about Clyde Rathbone. It's like he's allergic to being tackled. AAC was so embarrassed about wearing Brumbies colours he faked an injury for half last season.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
Darth Mortlock....Yep I'm not sure how many original parts are still in him... The CSIRO support keeps him on the field, I guess.....
