I know there are plenty of them getting so around so let's try and create comprehensive list starting with the rugby players. Coach, can you set up a peramanent list of Force, Wallabies Internationals to add to??

Here we go, and lets start right at the very top....

John Eales - Nobody "because Nobody's perfect"
Scott Stantiforth - Spanner
Brendon Cannon - Quilt, more stiches than a
Wendell Sailor - Dell

Happy · 17-05-06, 11:54

Angry Phil - Phil Waugh
Burnie - Steve Larkham
Mini Me - George Gregan

Burgs · 17-05-06, 11:56

They put a bit of a list out in the pre season which I will try and find.
The one I remember made me laugh the most was for the 19 year old:
Brett Stapleton= Man Child

I think it started one night when he was roaring at the forwards tied in with his stupid mohawk thingo.
He was buzzing about everywhere and just looked angry.
Inspired with suitable creative liquid inspiration.
Lets not turn this into another Hennas bashing thread though, there's 513 other threads for that

How could we ever forget that drop goal from Dunning, one of my all time great moments in rugby that should NEVER have happened....just pipped by that little pommy bastard that did the same in 2003

I like "Bam Bam" for Dave Pocock. From The Flinstones, Barney's baby, he's a baby, but really strong.
