A-Z guide for new NRL CEO
Nick Walshaw
David Smith admits he knows next to nothing about rugby league. He doesn't know who Johnathan Thurston is or any other player for that matter. So Dave, if you want to be a true league fan, take this guide, pin it to your office wall and learn it by February 1
A FOR AGENDAS
Rugby league is the Afghanistan of Aussie sport. Arm yourself.
B FOR BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT
Dumbest rule outside having to indicate off roundabouts. Sort it.
C FOR CAM SMITH
Australian captain. You may meet him one day.
D FOR DALLY M NIGHT
Like the Brownlows, but a Lowes version.
E FOR ENTERTAINMENT
Only one rule, when Meatloaf calls about the Grand Final, say "no".
F FOETAL POSITION
Learn it. At some point you will assume it.
G IS FOR GUS
Oh, don't worry … you'll meet him soon enough.
H FOR HOME LOAN
Any help reducing mine would be appreciated.
I FOR IMMORTALS
No, not NRL coaches. The other mob.
J FOR JT
Other useful acronyms include GI, SBW and, should you be dealing with the Knights, IOU.
K FOR KHODER
Manager to the star. Found beneath white bucket hats.
L FOR LOCH NESS MONSTER
See also, Rugby League Players' Association.
M FOR MICHAEL SEARLE
Was touted to fill the role you're in now. Worth Googling.
N FOR NO TRY
Usually denotes that a legitimate try has been scored.
O FOR ORIGIN
Remember Macksville, Minto and most of New Zealand lies within Queensland.
P FOR PARRA JESUS
Never, ever forget the fans. Even those who believe they're a deity.
Q FOR QUEUES
Get in one. Doesn't matter if it be for a beer, a leak, or a photo with the Manly cheergirls.
R FOR RAUDONIKIS
Drives a Brisbane cab. Consult on all big issues.
S FOR STEEDEN
Like a Gilbert, but touches the white stripe far more often.
T FOR TATTOOS
Fans, players, cheerleaders' mums, everyone has one. Start with Ned Kelly.
U FOR UNWIND
You won't, so put the banana lounge on eBay.
V FOR VOLLEYBALL
What this game isn't, so bring back the shoulder charge.
W FOR WARREN
Ray Warren. Sounds more beautiful than hearing your Lotto numbers called.
X FOR X-FACTOR
Youtube Billy, Benji, Haynsey ... and "James Graham/granny".
Y FOR Y
Like why does ANZ Stadium charge $6 for plastic cups of mid-strength beer? Needs sorting.
Z FOR ZZZZZZZZ
What we think of your other great love, rugby union. Please, never mention it again.
