A sprig of wattle in my hand,
A native of my native land,
Australia you ****** beauty.

Well **** me backwards.

Seriously, of course I've heard of the "Under the Southern Cross" song and how you have a player appointed to lead it, but I never knew of the words. I dunno, just thought it might be something.........different. Not at all what I'd imagined. Pisser.

The best code on the planet, just not the most famous but compared to union and soccer it is much better to watch, you actually get some scoring too, unlike tryless rugby union and goalless soccer. When was the last rugby league world cup final that had no tries scored ???, answer, never been one. Brazil vs Italy final and South Africa v NZ come immediately to mind. It's more quality than quantity you might say. Bet you secretly love it too :)
Football code I mean, its equal to cricket in importance to me.

Yeah I can't believe thats the song. I thought it would be longer and, well a bit more of a song.

There are reports England completely trashed the dressing room after the loss in Perth today. Apparently there was quinoa, breaded tofu, and goji berries strewn all over the place.

It's because you're not understanding the poetry.

With tool in my hand.
Criminals we all are

This has been more painful to follow/watch than anything I've ever seen. The Stokes hundred has been almost the only remote sniff of a saving grace for a whole 3 Test matches, and even that felt a bit sour because I bagged his selection. I'm still not entirely sure he'll make a Test number 6 but fair play, that was a marvellous innings.

Worst part is this can still get worse, which actually doesn't make sense now I think about it.

Yeah, probably best if posts like those were left well alone, everyone. Also, Adders, you gotta stop taking everything so personally, man.

Q: Who is this and what the hell are they doing.

I did think it was Rogers but then thought "nah, his head is all out of proportion for a grown man"
