YES to anything Jonah Griggs.
In honour of South Sydney making the NRL finals for the first time since 1971 (I shouted myself hoarse on Friday night at a pub in Jonah Griggs’ territory) I thought I’d share mention of them in my work.
They are a true working class underdog’s footy team. My friends, Ben and Patrick who came along on the Jellioce research road trip back in 2005 are so fanatical that we’re not allowed to reference the colours as merely red and green, but cardinal red and myrtle green.

Unless you can identify his bloody underwear, we haven’t got a hope of knowing where his tent is.
