Cool

Nooooice. Sorry about being a Rams fan though They did have a nice run with Warner as their QB. All good things...

Ha Ha. Actually going by the numbers Bulger was a better QB then Warner. Warner was at helm at the peak though. Him, Faulk, Bruce, Hakim, Holt, Proehl in offence. Mike Jones, London Fletcher, Aneas Williams, Dexter Mcleon and co on defence and Mike Martz leading the offence and the greates coach of all time in Dick Vermeil as the head it truly was "The Greatest Show on Turf". I used to love Warner's stats. After a quarter he'd have 12 completed passes to 8 receivers. Because he didn't favour anyone and they used to have so many players in motion noone knew who was getting the ball.

Ah the glory days, how I miss them

Typical Muscat. A very dirty player. This will probably be the end of his career, too.

Well I think the Legends of Origin match surprised everyone (especially the players), that was just like an official Origin match, QLD came out harder and faster, got out to a decent lead then ran out of puff in the alst quarter, allowing NSW to make it look closer than it was!

Nice to see Harrigan still refs the same too!

Ignoring the guys who just retired, Tallis, Lam, Blacklock and Peachy could still cut it in the NRL, funny to see how bad Fitler and Girdler have become in comparison to some of the older blokes who played tonight.

I was also impressed at how good the Legends game turned out, after the initial run and giggle moat of the players got stuck in. QLD were the 1st off the blocks and NSW were on catch up.

Was good to see Tallis with his trademark hitups, Kerrod Walter's darts up the field, Campion and Spud's tackles

Andy Symonds showed he could cut it on the footy field, imagine him with the Broncos!

I thought exactly the same thing. When Lam made that break I laughed at Gary Jack and Eric Grothe trying to catch him

Really surprised at Fittler and Girdler. Alexander wasn't as fit as I thought he would be. Tallis impressed me. Now the only annoying thing is having to listen to him brag when the NRL season starts up again

Sam Bradford is a good chance of winning NFL rookie of the year. Considering the only other QB to have better rookie stats then him is Peyton Manning I think he should be the winner.

Yeah, I'll give you that although Devin McCourty had a much bigger influence with the Pats IMO. Bradford is the only rookie QB nominated and that normally is the trendy choice.

BTW - Less than a week to go until the Super Bowl I'm gonna get my drink on

Granted I'm biased but to take a team as piss poor as the Rams and get them within one game of the playoffs, I think thats a pretty big influence.

At least I got to see a couple of Rams games this year because they played alright. Due to our limited NFL coverage and their poor performances over the past couple of years I haven't seen them play in about 2 years.
