And people were calling Stevo last week for talking rubbish and not being as good as the Aussie commentators... :eh:

Ray Warren is a quality commentator who makes Stevo look like he's never played the game before, Stevo is an idiot plain and simple.

At a guess, I would say hes trying they had yet to go through a sticky patch in the game.

I've heard the saying before but not in that context. I would love to say in what context I've heard it but it wouldnt be appropriate to post it on this site. If anyone does want an explanation just send me an e-mail and I will reply.

According to the ever reliable
"Rob and Chris Townsend's Aussie Slang Dictionary"

http://www.sarcoidconnection.com/AuSlang6.html

it means to get a raw deal.

Some other gems on there, including:

"There are kangaroos loose in his top paddock"

Warren is an outstanding commentator. I used to partiocularly enjoy Warren and Graeme Hughes. Rex Mossop showed the likes of stevo how it is possible to be straight talking AND intelligent.

Jack Gibson was the best, as dry as they come.

One of Jack's quotes from the wiki

"In (Rugby League) football, if you are standing still, you're going backwards fast."
