Grapple Global returns to Austrayan shores in the aftermath of a perfect sporting weekend, delivered via the nation's oval shaped codes. Perfect why, you asketh? Well, we'll tell'eth. It's not the results, although they are spectacular for Roosters/Knights/Lions/Wallabies fans. It sure aint the gruesomely medievil injury incurred by the NRL's golden boy. And there's no f**king way anything resembling perfection will ever come from the whistle of Wallaby nemesis Andrea Piardi.
No friends, it was soul music playing the sounds of sporting wonder. It was a convergence of 3 regular foes across 4 glorious games, crackling with the energy of glory and despair, faster than the biggest coaster at the theme park, and far more entertaining.
So pop an ear or two over the latest Grapple'isation of everything right, wrong and mildly inaccurate about the phenomeena that unfolded over the final weekend of September.
