postcards from henson park

If you were at Henson Park on Saturday, you would have seen two completely nailbiting games of the NSW cup: first Wests defeated Norths, and Balmain just beat Newtown in the second half 31-30 to get their hands on the shiny MUA Solidarity Cup. Assuming you stayed for both games, you would have seen a streaker. You would also be an excellent human being.

The sausages were on the barbie, the KBs were still only four dollars, and the double header turned out to be just as ridiculously entertaining as the NRL games this round. Seriously, two games decided on field goals? We almost dropped our saus-in-breads.

Your favourite incompetent tv presenters (ie. us) also broke out the video cam for some chats with the players and the crowd, then  the gorgeous boys at the NSWRL got that business up on YouTube.

To answer your questions:

That hot bitch in the Wests Magpies jersey is Ben Falcone; but sadly, no, we have no idea if he’s single. Send your fan letters and love letters spritzed with perfume directly to Wests HQ.

Yes, you may remember Lee Bennett from other ErrolTV productions like the NSW Cup Launch. Charming and gorgeous as ever, right?

The guy in the Norths jersey over the Jets jersey is named Nugget.

Of course he is.

Yes we did meet the streaker! Sassy found herself having a bevvie in the courtyard Henson Park Hotel next to a random stranger who introduced himself by saying: “You know that idiot who streaked today? …. that was me. Also, the wind was really cold”. We believe you, mate.

And no, sadly there are no Ray Moujalli appearances in this video. Despite playing like a demon for the Jets and crossing the line on the day, he was just too completely devastated after the game for an interview. We considered getting someone else to say ‘rugby league is the winner’ into the camera, but it just wasn’t the same. Lova ya, Ray!

Thanks as always to the NSWRL for being the best hosts ever. Enjoy! xx
