TWiL Episode 605: Uncle Chang

Let's start with some Dairy Queen.

Alex Johnson.

213 tries.

All-time record.

Brilliant scenes.

Absolute scene.

Fans rushed the field and I am so fucking happy that it turned out one of those, well, why the fuck was anybody worried about anything at all? I think every single fan there understood that this was the the canary in the coal mine, for anything like this in the future.

And no cunt ruined it for anybody else.

I was that impressed with them, which I thought I would never say about South Sydney fans.

Look, I thought it was a great moment.

And I know they went to great lengths to...

To, you know, stop people coming onto the field.

And I get that player safety and litigation and all the rest of it.

But to actually see that unfold and, you know, him have the moment and I think it probably would have been a little better if they won.

But...

Yeah, thought, you know.

They...

Yeah, the moment was definitely... made to be everything that it that it should have been and um i think you know overall it was a pretty respectful um you know the way it unfolded was pretty respectful and the game got back underway and um yeah he's certainly deserved of the uh the praise and the accolades and I've seen him cop a bit of flack and people saying...

Someone in the Facebook group, I think it was, say he's the most unremarkable player to ever have such an achievement in the game.

I think that's a little rough, but he's...

What do people want? Wendell Saylor to break the try-scoring record because he's flashy? I think he's a testament to his career and his longevity.

He's been through adversity.

It was only a season or two ago where it didn't look like he was going to have a contract.

So he's managed to... to get the ear of the right people and continue on to eventually break a record that stood since, what, the 60s, 70s, 60s?

So, amazing.
