What a game!!! Nobody gave Balmain a chance. This is the sort of courage and team spirit we need at the club now.
if the 2005 players can’t deliver, then why not get in the 69ers?

Someone wrote in and said Bob Hawke.
They wrote about it as it was a true answer

Now here’s a guy who started as a centre and ended up in the second row. He bulked up quite a bit.
Ok Douhei start pumping some serious iron at pre season training. And hit the tackling bags.
