george rose watch: the brown edition
November 20th, 2009
I know ya’ll love a George Rose update. And why not? You’re only human, after all, and George Rose is … GEORGE ROSE. The whole of the Errol HQ is obsessed with his awesome. We’re certified George Rose freaks. We loved the way he rose to the occasion in the props pentathlon on FoxSports. We think he can no wrong. We see the world through George Rose-coloured glasses. We think he’s a-George-able. Look I DIDN’T GET MUCH SLEEP LAST NIGHT, just indulge me, ok?
Even George Rose thinks my puns are shit.
That might be why at first I thought that George Rose was covered in mud as part of some new Des Hasler training routine – remember when he made the Beav play mixed netball? – until I realised Georgie’s actually promoting some kind of mud run-something-or-other. Who knows? Certainly not me, because while I enjoy activities where you get piggybacks and get dirty, I care not for activities where I have to … exert myself. You know, walk, run, stand, climb shit. Those mud-runners are on their own, bitches.
George and Brett audition for the next NRL premiership trophy.
And aside from frolicking in the mud with Brett Stewart, George Rose has apparently been on all of your minds. He was my second pick in Sassy’s Indigenous Team (I’m not even kidding, right after Scotty Prince) and apparently the universe listened. It got off it’s fat lazy universe ass and made sure George Rose was selected for the Indigenous side to play the NRL All-Stars.
Yup, George Rose, Prince Scotty the Caramel, Jamal ‘most huggable man in the NRL’ Idris, and our beloved Wendell Sailor are all confirmed to be in the side. Plus my winger Nathan Merritt made it onto the wing. Probably some other people too. Whatever. The important thing is it’s now official, Australian rugby league fans have Really Good Taste. The cats of Australia have made their choice (Snappy Tom) and the people of Australia have made their choice (to have an indigenous team full of great humans).

OMG GEORGE!!!!!
I didn’t think he could get any more lolz, then he goes and does this. I just……love him. Kiki Rose has a great ring to it. Also it would lend itself to a perfume line if I ever get famous.
GEORGE ROSE-COLOURED GLASSES HAHAHAHAHHAHA
That first picture of George and Brett is as funny as hell! Iam so putting that on my desktop backgound
ha! sorry that should be background
I thought you might like that one lozzy.
Now I feel like chocolate…or am I the only one who was reminded of that heinous ad with the chocolate man wandering the streets while women take a bite out of him. Also can’t be an effective ad as I have no idea what product it is trying to sell.
NOTE that I refrained from all the obvious ‘taking a bite of George Rose’ puns.
I always think of the Cadbury “wouldn’t it be nice” ad when I see Rhys Wesser, especially when his head is freshly shaven! Love this team – glad Preston is C
I’m bummed that Beau “sexy legs” Champion and Jamie “Perfect Cub” Simpson didn’t make the team!!!
*sighs*
but it’s gonna be a great event! I hope Indigenous win!!!
CCx
yay, Jamal made it *gets up waving arms* “Jama-aaal, Jama-aaal, Jama-aaal”
huggable is an understatement! lol
As a long suffering Rabbitoh supporter I’m stoked about Nathan Merritt’s inclusion, he is without doubt one of the few consistently great performers, week in week out.
I know the family and the loss of his nan Lorraine last year was a massive blow, she used to travel all over Sydney and beyond on public transport from the time he was six years old, just to watch him play and she would be absolutely thrilled that he’s been chosen in this team.
Definitely will be one of his proudest moments.
ooooh that is so beautiful. he seems to be a sweetie, i’m happy for him!!
LOL @ Brett Stewart he’s the best cross-eyed Fullback in Rugby League just ahead of Luke Patten and George Rose wtf lose some weight or gtfo there is only room for for one lovable and very overweight prop in the game and his name is Danny Wicks.
Brett never got Clarence the Cross Eyed Lion as a nickname tho, lol (I say this as a die-hard dogs supporter)
My mum actually called Luke that, and he said he hates being called that, and I laughed at mum after that
bahahah your mum! she didn’t really … did she?
if George Rose ever loses weight, a part of me will die.
sassy, she totally did! i think she only called him that on accident tho – but you never know what will come out of her mouth at times lol
Fair call, he should accept the nickname either that or he should stop looking at nose with both eyes.
