What does it mean to you to wear the red and green of South Sydney (John G. – Member # 29026):

Preston Campbell, Allan Langer and Matt Bowen

Who is the biggest pest in the team and why (Kieran H. – Member # 349):

Kane Morgan because he is annoying and a bad dancer. Issac Luke because he has bad breath. Beau Champion for being Champo. Dave Taylor for his weird toes.
