Easts v Souths 1992 - Fox Sports 2 Now

Brendan Hall was pretty woeful. I loved him. What an idiot kid.

I've always hated that ****.

I asked him for his autograph in the carpark at Marathon stadium after a game when i was about 6 and he told me to "piss off you little prick".

Whilst i can't argue with the little prick part, the useless carrnt still could have taken 10 seconds to sign my jersey.

My old man almost decked him and then the wanker had a change of heart. The old fella then proceeded to tell him to get farrked and told him his signature was worth about as much as a 3 week old dog turd in the local park.

I kind of like him after that story.

Useless and had tickets on himself.

"Brendan Hall won't pass the ball,pass the ball..

Brendan Hall won't pass the ball,he won't pass the ball""..

I loved the old chants..

The old "Master..Man.." is still my favourite..I used to love hearing the guys in the Turner Stand pumping that out..

And when opposition players went down hurt,or got kayoed,the old "10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1..You're out..Piss off" would get a run..

Yes James Matthews he was killed in a car accident on xmas eve while driving to his parents house pretty sure he was still @ the Roosters when it happened......

I remember he missed one against Brisbane which cost us!

The one he missed against Brisbane from right in front of the post was when we were fighting back from a big deficit[it was 8-26 at one stage]at this stage it would have put us a converted try behind[20-26] but the miss left the score at 18-26, we did score another try to make it 22-26 but the thing that cost us the match was the fair try that was disallowed to Jeff Orford right near the end which would have won us the match[had Hall converted].Funny thing that Brian Smith was doing the commentry for the ABC that day and he just went oh no when the ref disallowed the try.

How relaxing it is to watch a game with no wrestling and one silent ref. Makes the modern game look like a load of shit in a lot of ways.

Yep, I remember that. 1993 at the SFS I think. Steven Clarke was the referee and Orford was clearly onside.

This x 100.

Back when men were men, had real jobs, and could go to the pub and have a beer with the fans.
