Hooray! We Won One!!

NSW celebrates a win. Doctors fear the excitement levels if they win two could cause injury.



Congrats to the NSW Origin team on an outstandingly brave performance and win against the odds last Wednesday night that I knew they had in them from the start. Some naysayers and ne'er-do-wells have been death riding coach Ricky Stewart of late and I for one am proud of his efforts and have always believed he had the makings of a great coach, and with a display of courage rarely seen in the modern game our captain Paul Gallen (who I have been a passionate fan of for many years) led our boys from the front and cemented the victory with a lesson in professional football.

It’s a victory for the true believers.

Yes, there is a bandwagon passing by and I am getting on it.


And I look forward to acknowledgement from our brave and inspirational captain, that's right, I'm looking right at you Paul Gallen, that the touch up you received in this very forum a little while ago was the impetus that propelled you to greatness. We don't deserve the glory, but we appreciate the thanks.

That reminds me that while we are on the subject of touch ups and sprays that result in better footballers, this just in from the news services:

Todd Carney will be playing for the Newtown Jets tomorrow.
High profile Sydney Roosters player Todd Carney will be playing with the Newtown Jets in their Round 15 NSW Cup match against Manly-Warringah at Brookvale Oval tomorrow.
The Sydney Roosters have a bye in the NRL competition so this is a perfect opportunity for Todd to gain some more game time following his recent lay-off from playing duties.
This is of course Todd's debut in the famous Royal Blue colours of the Newtown Jets. He played against Newtown on several occasions some years ago when he was playing for the Canberra Raiders in the NSWRL Premier League, a predecessor of the current NSW Cup competition.

So Toddles is going to play for the Bluebags. Wow. I don't know quite how to take that news......either our encouragement has pushed him back onto the right path or this is just another sign of the impending apocalypse.
