Quote: Jukesays "I keep hearing this thing about playing it straight after the end of the season etc.
People do realise that pre sl that didn't happen either?
Wigan played Manly in October 87 (87/8icon_cool.gif, we'd won the league in April 87 (86/87), different season, slightly different team.
We beat penrith at start of 91/92 season without hanley who'd helped us win the league in 90/91.
Brisbane won the league 93 and played us in 94 at the end of our season but it was a different season for them.
We used to get complaints they'd come over on an end of season jolly after their mad Monday.
Now we complain that they're not ready as utd their pre season and a different team.
So they were missing 3 players from their GF 17, so what? We were missing arguably 3/4/5
They weren't "Ready", well so what? They could have had more friendlies, come over earlier, like others have. Maybe they didn't get their preparation right, that's their fault not ours.
It doesn't matter when we play it, where we play it etc. If they win were rubbish, if they lose its just a friendly and it was the refs fault, the pre season, injuries etc.
I don't give a monkeys about what the Aussies think, you know why?
They don't give a monkeys about what we think so F*** em!
I think we got slightly the better of the calls yesterday, makes a change because you can bet when you go down there you'll get nothing.'"
Only one thing better than beating an Aussie it's beating a whinging Aussie.
We beat them fair and square and I couldn't give a shoite if we got the rub of the green.
