Tahs recruit South African Hendrik Roodt wants Wallabies jersey

If I had a chip on my shoulder that would imply I believe "guys from the big smoke" to be better off or more fortunate.

That's not the case at all, it's more that in general I find them ignorant, insular and myopic, believing Parramatta to be rural and Penrith the sticks, with anything beyond the mountains foreign or to be raped for their own benefit.

Having experienced both, I wouldn’t swap it for quid’s and can fully understand why so many who visit the other backwaters you mention choose to stay.

Just seeking a point of clarification Burgs........
When you mention having experienced both were you referring to you having been foreign and raped for your own benefit???

All of the above, it was a big night

I have a chip on my shoulder. WA has 10% of Australia's population and contributes more than 10% to Australia's GDP and yet when each state was dolled out the federal government money what did we get?? 7 bloody percent! Bah! All of the extra cash that Sydney ends up getting you know is just going to bail their piss poor state government out of the shitty situation they've got themselves into.

i cant take anyone from penrith of parra seriously, i mean they claim to be from Sydney, but its more like suburbia, i wouldnt claim street after street of shitty looking workers cottages to be the big smoke, its a bogan as you could possibly get.

This wasn't the night you spent sleeping in Larry's Ford by any chance??

I love when threads weave together!!!

Still can't work out why a developing player recruited from Club level to one of Australia's four professional teams is "poached"...
It would seem Sydney players are only allowed to progress to the Waratahs.

Indeed Burgs, in a perfect world. Come the revolution the Waratahs will be the only career path for Sydney players.

Ahhh... Yes. This inter-weaving of parallel threads is very ... er.... interwoven..,!?!
But....one ponders, which Ford? The Ford snick, perhaps?

What happens overseas....
Must have been the third or fourth bucket of beer that he slipped something into...
