ahh ok steve, you are always the 5th dan high sensei of knowledge!
Yep been supporting the raiders since 2016 when Josh Hodgson and Elliot whitehead went there.
They remind me of QPR in many ways, Unfashionable (ie outside Sydney) not able to splash out on the big names but developing youngsters and British talent. I've Really absorbed their history since becoming a fan , Laurie Daley , Mal Meninga, Brad Clyde etc etc and get more nervous watching them than i do the Rangers.. odd! I
I hope to see them in the flesh one day down under before i get too old.
Same here with NSW, been supporting them since the days of Thurston, Slater, Smith, Cronk and Inglis given them the dry slap every year
The Doctor Joseph Goebbels Public enlightenment division couldn't spin that the Queensland squad is any match for News South Wales, Yet i have a feeling at Sun corp, that they will edge it by 6 points today.
Cameron Munster and Big Tino back for the Maroons could prove decisive .
State of Origin. Pure ancient Rome at the Colosseum. Games without frontiers.
Could be some artefact of a higher dimension or a previous life that i can't consciously perceive but I'm drawn across the salted Earth to the Canberra raiders, and Thus NSW.
just emerging from the emotional black fug of the last two weeks, that have for family reasons, been more emotionally crippling than being Adolf Eichmann's stenographer at the Wannsee Conference.
Read northerns withering computations of the season and punched the air like James Brown slipping and sliding on stage to maceo parker's alto flute at the apollo.
For a couple of minutes i forgot the knuckle duster of life and soaked up his QPR nuremberg cross examination like activated charcoal absorbs week old brussel sprouts.
if i start drinking at a steady unrelenting pace from now.. and chuck in a few grams of petrol washed Gak from the leigh and sea travelling community, I should undergo resurrection nicely around Easter Sunday lunchtime and have zero recollection of having to go the Chigwell mother in law for a remedial chinese meal Saturday night.
The drumming in this is the rack and pinion. The engine room. When i heard he passed this was the track that popped into my head. Driving four to the floor drumming that carried it across the finishing line. Clem at his best. Beatification in extremis. magic.
For all the sundry NA and AA meetings in grey church halls in bleak provincial towns chaired by men in double denim and tweed , nothing can top a surprise call from a fellow R to arrest the downslope. bonded by blue and white blood.
"It's a free concert from now on. ..
That doesn't mean that anything goes. The one major thing you have to remember...is that the man next to you is your brother, and you'd damn well better treat each other that way because if you don't, then we blow the whole thing, but we've got it right there”.
I have made friends for life on this forum. And i thank northern for it.
More than association football. Even More than QPR.
I had a chat with a member tonight that meant the world to me, totally out of the blue.
Never would have known him without this dojo, this place.
We've had our discord in the past, but i Thank you Northern. We appreciate it. More than football. It's beyond that. A labour of love for you, a plasma pool of brotherhood for us.
you just know we're going to sit so deep in this half . Probably venture across the halfway line for the first time in the 80th minute like Edmund Hillary riddled with scurvy across the Flemmish cap.
