I can't wait to play them (round 15) ! I know they are the in-form team in the comp and odds on premiership favourites but seriously these little scumbags who think they're ONEFOUR from Mt Druitt need a reality check or at least a good thrashing asap. It'll hurt a bit if we lose to the Panfers but I'd be proud if we really take them on physically... just bash them. Just imagine if Stephen Crichton tried to do that with JWH as he's waiting on the sideline about to come on !? ... lol goodluck ... the E.R at Nepean Hospital or RPA would be waiting for ya

It's so stupid! There's some scripted ad where Papalii stands on the sideline, mesmerising the cloud with perfect rhythm and this huge... 'AAAAH... HEEEEK!!!! [CLAP]'
In reality (I live within a stone's throw of Bruce stadium), there is no 'viking clap' and it's just this stupid thing they play over the PA system (a bit like the horn). It deserves all the bagging it gets.
As a comparison... imagine if nobody actually went '[clap clap clap clap] EASTS!!!' during the game and they just played it over the PA... then in ads we got a picture of Easts fans looking mesmerised as SST stands on the sideline, banging on a drum with perfect rhythm and 'conducting ' the 'Easts clap'. People would bag it. So the 'viking clap' is fair game IMO. I encourage people to call out 'EASTS' and use a different rhythm to stuff up the pre-game noise on the PA.
I have Danish ancestry and I would like to now formally protest that the Viking Clap is offensive Cultural Appropriation from my people. I also demand that their logo, resembling my forefathers, be forthwith removed and replaced. Maybe they could use the skull and crossbones or something and instead of the clap they could have 'The Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!'.
