I for one can never forgive you.

Nice to note Mr leaner is still lurking, quietly and stealthily like the old silver fox that he is.

Mate, I can never forgive MYSELF! Indeed, I had to be forcibly restrained from "doing the honourable thing" when those despicable and unforgivable words passed my lips. Even to this day, I have considerable difficulty living with the shame.

And yes, good to see the Loo Cleaner is still with us. He and I hail back to those golden days, before the plague of fekkwittery infested many an erstwhile-pure forum [size(and when Bulls actually won things...)[/size, when you had to endure a long stint at the academy before being admitted as a Professional Trolling and Wind-Up Officer. He of course graduated first in his class. We had standards in those days, and any apprentice discovered by the intended target to be up to no good was dragged back to the academy and flogged within an inch of their life (repeat offenders were of course posted to Halifax).

Youngsters nowdays, they don't know just how lucky they are...

Leaner and I formed a truly underwhelming centre wing combination several years ago.

Usually, I would waddle my way to a half break, draw the coverage, turn and look for the old silver fox and he would be twenty yards behind play laughing and pointing at me.

He had a cute face and an infectious laugh. Oh how I miss him.

I think he stopped speaking to me when I confessed to cheating my way to victory in Okura's weekly Monday morning lyric quiz. (remember him?)

There were even less in the ground last year to see Manly lift the trophy!!

we was going to go before the presentation but decided to stay to clap leeds off but they didnt even come over, bit of a kick in teeth to those who did take 15 mins out to wait for them. want many of us but surely even 1 fan who waits behind to clap a team off deserves the players to come over to, i think the presentation thing takes too long too get up upstairs bang all over not hang about wait for sky to have a break and come back joke

excellent point made there

Did Manly actually lift the trophy ?

I was halfway back to the bus stop by then ....

it gets a bit chlostrophobic walking through that ginnel leading up to worley so why not beat the rush and after all its only the meaningless wcc is'nt it?

Very, very droll.

I must admit to leaving early . I was with three mates that don't usually go to the rugby , and they got up and left . I was out-voted .
Otherwise I , as I always do , would have stayed to clap my team off the pitch .
Win , lose , or draw I always stay to the death .
We went in Peacock , then to the Dragon 'til last orders after the game . The ginnel was empty when we walked up it .
