blimey, 2012 still gives me chills every time i think about it. i remember sitting in that hamilton stadium, just buzzing, waiting for that moment after all the hard graft. sonny bill's little offload felt like lightning striking, didn't it? sheer class right there, made the whole crowd go nuts.

    I was only a kid with dad's old radio on but even then that offload hit different 😂 heard the roar from Hamilton all the way through the speakers, you just knew it was going in before the ball left his hands tbh Got proper goosebumps reading this mate. Sonny Bill playing in his home province, Waikato Stadium bouncing, whole crowd lifting 🙌 played juniors footy myself and that sort of unselfish pass is what we tell the kids about every training. backing them all day, then and now ❤️🖤

    On the terraces since I was a kid.

  • wasn't at waikato that night, heard it over the wireless from the couch and still nearly spilled my cuppa when the place erupted 😄 sonny bill had that habit all season, palming blokes off like they weren't there then flicking it out of nowhere. you just knew the roar was coming a half-second before it did. ah well, we'll see if we ever get another night like that.
    Seen it all, lads.

  • Imagine the post-game party, half of us were still screaming about SB's footwork 🤣🍿 😂</blockquote>
    Memes are analysis too.
