South Sydney Rabbitohs: Big Bunnies have Bigger Hearts

My eyes light up with the same amount of wonder that a child could only muster on Christmas morning.  Or Easter or their birthday.  My knees go weak.  I practically levitate down the stairs from the top of the bay inside Allianz Stadium.  Although I was deep in the seedy underbelly of the Roosters home stadium, there was a very bright spot in the ugly swath of red...

Redemption in The Burrow (Part II): The Cracka and Macca Show

Still Hate the Roosters (Part I): A Very Wet Bird’s Nest

What started out as a day of hope and promise, turned into a cold and wet night of heartbreak and deja vu.  I was shuffling my feet out of the steel bird’s nest that is Allianz Stadium; a place that would be now synonymous with pain, and I am not just saying this because it is the home field of the Sydney Roosters.  12 hours earlier, I had just touched down at...
