Oh look, Ugly Dave Grey. Feels like I've lost one of these avatar bets. Not that I would have bothered with the current state of affairs of the Queensland State Rugby Team.

Wow, plenty of people talking up the 'tahs on the match thread but none have the cojones to take up your challenge? Un-Strayan in the extreme! Where you at @Pfitzy? Your Franchise turns it lonely eyes to you....................
As I said above, I took a Pillocking last year. It's someone else's turn.

yeah should be more betting, fuckit, I have been rooted up hill and down dale by those fuckhead Blues this season and it hasnt stopped me (until it stopped me), punishment essays about some frozen dump near Dunedin, punishment essays about the boat people hiding in Richard Grahams basement, push-ups, online burpees, avatars of Quade with a laptop down his gruds, the bloody works
Haha, didnt look too rough to me. It could have been a lot worse. A LOT WORSE. I have pictures in my photobucket that Interpol tried to shred but they couldnt because they got so confused they ended up calling Interpol about the very same picturesAs I said above, I took a Pillocking last year. It's someone else's turn.

Joeleee, I love your enthusiasm for the team but I would caution you to never bet on the longshot unless you injected them with the gofast juice yourself.
This NZ team is not leading the rankings by miles for no good reason. They have world class everywhere while we have world class in a few positions. The Australian team is on the improve but not even Cheika thinks they are where NZ are right now. Added to that our lineout caller just phoned in sick, our world class loose head prop is badly broken and our kickers are accurate to 50-60%.
A close loss in each of the next two games would be a fantastic result. Ergo, this is not a game to bet your Avatar on.
However, there is still hope. Just don't bet on it.

I will. Avatar and signature for one week/till Bled 2. I'm fine with just avatar. Just to make it clear, I'm picking ABs to win.

^^^^^^^^^ if I were you I'd being going full-on: avatar, signature, team icons, the lot. And I'd be commissioning Dismal Pillock to devise the avatar & signature.
Best of luck, although I can't really see "luck" being a factor, even the Aussie punters have Wobs paying near-as-damnit double the AB for H2H

Yeah, but to be honest, its like taking candy from a baby. I almost feel guilty making the bet, thats why I was reluctant to go mad on conditions.
Anyway, here is what I am putting up for grabs.
Oooh, that's a good one. It's a bit hard to find recent shots of Australians winning things, so we'll go with this one I think:
As for the odds, if there were only bets when Australia were at even odds against NZ, this would be a pretty uneventful thread
Anyways, I look forward to you celebrating the lead up to Bledisloe II with the constant reminder of the great S. Mortlock and his ever stylish gloves

If I am sporting Sterling Mortlock next week, it will be a national week of mourning. Every news update will mention the disastrous loss. Every moment of the game will be dissected in full. Ex All Blacks will be trotted/wheeled out for their opinions. There will be endless talkback discussion over tactics, players, team makeup etc etc etc.
A mere avatar change will be minor in comparison. You guys have no idea how bad it would be.

@Teach I hope my presence in your signature is temporary, I don't really wanna be reminded about my lost $50 every time I read a post of yours

I would be a hypocrite if I wasn't! Mind you, if we win the last thing I would be worried about would be your avatar
A tougher assignment this weekend, but I believe!!!
