Normally a nice day and they hit the beach.

^ Clearly Aussie mums prefer Sunday arvo footy to just another day at the beach...

How well has the ground stood up to six games in ten days, four of them in heavy rain? Turf barely has a mark on it, ground staff are absolute legends.

D'oh

God I hope CruSadists got Johnny Lee signed up before things turned to shit for them. Kid plays freakishly like RMMcCaw at the same age.


Edit: sneaky like McGOAT, too: picks up the boot an Aus player lost in contact & casually biffs it another few metres away.

Well, as a hooker, he has certainly now been hooked

Gotta get more speed at the ruck going.
