What do you mean?
It was Paul Keating that made it "famous" but he was quoting his mentor, Jack Lang: ''In the race of life, always back self-interest - at least you know it's trying''.

Plenty of examples of the Lang philosophy in School and Junior sport.
Edit: As confirmed by @I Like To Watch above (beat me to it).
@Boyo. Avatar change happening when the draught is broken. Any hour now.

I dont know my self, I'll have to go back to the score card earlier this year and double check
I'm not sure I understand Bomber? What leads you to believe Gordon's attitude is mediocre? Because 3s and 4s didn't make finals this year? There is a difference between attitude and competitiveness.

Apologies for mispost - Senior , poor expression on my part - apologies. I was excluding Gordon from the mediocre ambitions. Highlanders results in the back end of season and standing of 2's bespeaks a mindset which cannot be lightly dismissed . Good luck

The eligibility rules are so easy to bend & every club does it. Either to lower their points value in 1s or 2s as "reserves" don't accrue points towards the team total if they've started a grade lower that day. Every club does it, year after year you see blokes run on, then get subbed after 2 mins. And in theory you'd only have to do it 4 times in the last 7 rounds to get a player to qualify.
An example of beating the points lies in round 13 where Northam & Treweek played 4th grade for Manly against Parra (both clearly a higher standard of player) to then come off the bench in 2s & not accrue points to the team total. Purely an example & not to pick on Manly because every club with finals spots does it

I'm sure some of us celebrated long and hard last night. Firstly, well done Waratahs!! Saw the clash down to Rat Park yesterday and what a game of footy it was. Rats were at their counter attack best including one long range try 80 metres out from their own line.
Although, The Students showed some guts and determination to take this game. Having lost Angus Roberts & Jim Stewart early in the game as well as Jock Merriman, Jake Gordon and Michael Hodge carrying injuries. We were going down like flies at one point students had up to 4-5 cattle down for injury after a great team try.
Warringah were winning all the 50/50 referring decisions and one lead to Talakai being binned with 20 minutes remaining. Rats then scored and took the game to 7 points in front with 10 minutes remaining.
They managed to get back into the game as Jock Merriman went over with 3 minutes remaining to seal the points. Gutsy performance from a young side however the injury toll could hurt them next week.

Jeremy Tilse, Tolu Latu, Paddy Ryan, Patrick McCutcheon and possibly Peter Betham. Will Skelton will rest up and Michael Hodge has been back for a couple weeks now.

Not the best day for it here at TG Milner, particularly if you are as hungover as I after the Tahs win. Woods down by 5 at the moment great game so far
