    the vegemite and chip sandwich is a gift from the gods

    Sounds like the kind of thing kids eat while sitting in the pub car park waiting for Mum and Dad to finish up at the pokies

    My first thread on the fern was "why I hate poofball".

    That was enormously popular - well it got huge response anyway and went on for months. Like this one will.

    That's not terribly controversial. I always tell people that apart from its sublime moments, it's a game you're better off playing. Even then to really appreciate it you need to have played.

    @raznomore haha, I told my son to try noodle sandwiches the other week, he laughed, then realised I was serious...he now has them most weekends 🙂

    I had a salt'n'vinegar chip sandwich for lunch yesterday

    Pie sambos are also fine if its a cheap mince pie and you're just stretching it further.

    Warm crusty white loaves with a beef bourg or stew is magic

    Had those as a kid. Underrated

    Banana and peanut butter sandwiches were also a hit. The right sweet and savoury mix

    Extremely difficult to introduce someone new to the game. Have tried with many over the years with Melbournians. Most ended up following the Storm...

    hence why the IRB's goal of growing the game is doomed to failure.

    League is a game that's been modified to make it a better spectacle for TV. Camera follows person with the ball, no need for panning shots to show space or closeups to show people engaging in dark arts. It's a simple game to watch and understand.

    Checkers to Go in comparison.

    Although at the lower levels, I once had a girlfriend ask if the point of the game was to have scrums. I said that was merely a reflection of the skill level.

    Lineouts were better before lifters were allowed. More beanpoles who could jump, and less 120kg locks.
