hahah nice. it was probably someone like me who wrote that. i wrote hitler as my name on one of our textbooks. oh sydney high. good times.

I'm the only one that knew picking Anasta for origin was a horrible idea.

letting braith anasta play first grade footy was a terrible idea. he's slow, has a crap passing game, gets hammered at the line and takes ages to get a kick away. and yet he's somehow the best second receiver in nsw.

He's not the second best, everyone just thinks he is.

craig wing used to go to our school, when we were using old maths textbooks, i found a book with "Craig Wing 95" written in the front page!!

Haha, cool!

Lol, people at my school used to write funny names in the textbooks too. (In Year 12 I think most people have moved away from it. Most...) But for the Wingy example, since "he" has actually put in a realistic year...

Ffs, Anasta isn't that bad anyway. Compare him to Nate Myles for example.

craig wing went to sydney boys apparently (i read it on some other forum), which i thought was quite interesting..do people know many footy players who went to selective schools? i sure don't...

p.s. Myles > Anasta.

 

[stazi]

Another footy player who went to Sydney Boys is Russel Crowe.

 

[stazi]

Oh and on that note, High has had quite a few rugby players:
Duncan Mcrae
Christ Witaker
Marc Stcherbina

 

[watatank]

*nrl players

 

[stazi]

Yeah Russel Crowe is an NRL playa.

we are talking first grade players who you can be proud of.

and obviously high didn't teach you how to spell Chris. i am sure no one's name is christ.

Roosters heading fast for the top 8
5 from our last 8

 

[Teddy Lee]

It's never too late.

Haha, that's cool, did you actually know him? What primary school was it, if you don't mind me asking?quote]

lol not really.. I just remember he was really sporty. oh and it's St Ives North.

 

[Teddy Lee]

26 Nov? isnt the season well over by then?

good point. hmm.. well since late 2005 anyway so it's a good effort by them!

apart from manly and melb, who are obviously in a league of their own, every other team in the comp are pretty close, st george at the bottom of the ladder is only 3 wins away from the sharks (i think) at 3rd. so a lose from a top 8 team will almost certainly see them out of the top 8 for that week.

what a performance by the senior players of the knights last night, inspired the young guns to win the game. but in the end, the knights relaxed a bit too much and gave raiders a couple of tries. some amazing stats - knights' average winning margine this season = 3.5 points, 5/7 games won by 4 points. knights' defence is making a habit of letting the other team running in a try everytime they are in their 20m, something brian smith needs to fix now.

craig wing to souths, apparently he wanted a four year contract and the roosters would only give him a one year contract. he will probably play five-eighth. it helped that he and crowe are good friends

 

[HotShot]

I think the 8 is pretty much determined already.. Maybe that 7th and 8th spot is up for grabs.. As long as the broncos dont make it - I am happy. That will mean the top teams copping defeats from the crap teams - but so be it.

Manly is in top form - but I think they wont manage it throughout the season. Storm seem to be a team on the decline.

so putting on 50 against the cowboys makes them a team in decline does it?

 

[watatank]

yeah. they hit their peak early. just like last year. and the year before.

sure they are looking the goods atm, and so is manly, but its anyones guess as to who is going to win the competition.

anyone else think the quality of league has gone down in recent times? it's not quite as exciting as it used to be imo.

yeh besides lockyer and thurston there's a real lack of creative halves who can spark something special in attack. especially since second man plays have been turned into obstructions, second receivers have been cut out of the game and hence why so many backrowers are playing there.

probably they need to find a way to discourage dummy-half running on a regular basis as a strategy in attack and protect halves a little more.
