Muttman's quote from Wayne Bennett 'Playing for each other, ball control, committed defence' got me thinking about some classic rugby league quotes and cliches, some of which are quite clever.
There's a wealth of experience on the forum including some overseas members - so what are some of your favourites from over the years?
Here's a couple from ourown Jack Gibson:
'That guy is so quick, he can switch off the light and get into bed before the room is dark.'
'I think he must have an egg-timer - every four minutes, he blows the whistle'
and a classic from Jim Dymock during a game in 1999:
Referee to Jim Dymock "You were the agressor.."when called out and cautioned after a fight. "Of course I was. I f*cken smashed him!"
