Its been a while since I last went to game of Rugby League. But since the new and improved Mrs Exile is a huge Penrith Fan and she made the suggestion, who am I to say no?
Well 20,000 fans packed out Penrith Stadum and a very good mix of both clubs represented by the fans.
The reason for my post I guess is I wanted to share some of the things I observed.
1. Penrith were lost in attact. Directionless in attack, they had no one calling the shots.
2. Penrith did very well in defence.
3. At the end of the game - St George players got together on the halfway line did a slow piroette and thanked their fans by appluading those who made the big trek to the bottom of the blue moutains.
Well - almost everyone. Wendell Sailor took it upon him self to run the 60 metres to where the largest grouping of St George fans were. He then ran along the line hi-5ing everyone he could reach and then ran off the park.
Perhaps we are spoilt, being Western Force fans - each time I have been to a game whether in Perth of here in Sydney. But all of the Force team take their time to wander the boundry fence to talk, autograph and photograph and generally share the experince with the fans.
It doesnt cost anything to say gday to the fans, but you can bet your last dollar that the fans of St George remember W. Sailor that night.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
St George Illawarra Dragons Premiers 2009
I met Dell here in Perth when they were here in Febuary
Watching the game on TV on Friday night the crowd almost looked like it was a Dragons home game
I'd just like to say two things. (1) Penrith wuz robbed and (2) Penrith wuz robbed.
Anyone who watches the Pre game show tonite, NRL Tactics Tomorrow, NRL on Fox or The Footy Show Late will not have seen the last of Wendell's dakking. Anyone who watches all 4 will get the Quaddie.
Every one knows he loves to get his head on the camera at every chance but FFS.![]()

He's been a host on the footy show the last few weeks so I will have no doubt it will be shown and shown again.
Great bloke and a good adittion to the footy show.
Last week he was talking about when he first went to St George and the fans were all booing him and calling him a dickhead. He said it's alot better now.
Good old fat came back with "Well at least there only booing you now"
