Superstitions or Habbits Before & After a Game

Filling out the profile page when I signed up made me curious about everyone elses superstitions etc...  If I can not go to a game and am watching it in my house I can not wear my Jerseys.  I will just hang it on the chair next to me.  Weird I know!  Also if we get beat I am told that all people close to me have a silent agreement to avoid conversation with me for about 4 to 6 hours.  Longer if we were robbed.  To give you an example apparently after we got smacked in the major semi by the cowboys many moons ago I am told that I drove the entire way back to Queensland without uttering a word even when spoken to.  But I just zone out and don't even notice.

  • Parra will not win unless I consume some beer.

  • I always knock one out before a game, it helps reduce nervous tension.

  • I don't record the game on foxtel even though I would like to

    • Nah always record the games whether I'm there or at home. If we win re-watch it straight away and actually enjoy the game (after putting band-aids on my fingers from biting my fingernails down) if we lose delete it straight away and maybe watch the highlights later in the week if we scored some good tries.

      Other than that wear the same clothes if we win, change clothes completely if we lose. If I eat sushi one game where we win I will not eat the same thing the next week because if I do somehow the players will know and won't up their tempo for the next game.

      And the most important one of all, try and get to the games at the stadium and be there for all grades from the time the gates open right until the end.

  • A. That's a lot of losses we've had over the last few years, he must have been getting caught weekly and only improved his sneekyness this year.

    B. How do you know it's good stuff, is it due to the rareness or just the taste.

  • I normally make a bonfire, strip down to my birthday suit and dance around, chanting then throw a dummy of whoever team we're playing coach on the fire, curse them again then go back inside and watch the game. If we lose then back out in the frosty cold night, and dance naked again until it's nine in the morning and the neighbour kids are watching from their bedroom windows laughing and poitning while their parents are phoning the police. If we win then I would go to bed and have a jolly good root with me girlfriend.

  • If I watch the game, we lose. However I am hoping this season will be different and I can watch more than 10 minutes of footy.
  • What's a habbit? A hat for a rabbit?

    If I tip the eels - we lose. If I lay a bet on them, we lose BIG.
  • I have introduced a catch cry with the kids in my home the last few years before games.

    'What do you do when Parra win'?
    You record it!

    Save the wins and delete the losses. Fair to say the Foxtel hard drive still has plenty of space left.
