Nicknames

Johnny "Good For Two Tries" Ferguson

 

[KNUCKLES]

Must admit there is the occasional one I see and think “ WTF” but never say anything as I’ll look like a fool.

The phantom one had me guessing for a while

 

[KNUCKLES]

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, Rueben will always be “Sanga” to me, as he’s an Aussie country boy and he probably isn’t as pretentious to use the more formal Sandwich. Plus it rolls off the tongue more easily.

Garrick always reminds me of either macgyver or dolph Lindgren lol I don't know why

 

[KNUCKLES]

Agree ... probably unfair to Suli .... but every team I played in we had a bloke called the Labrador ... and I had to slip it in somewhere ....

Reminds me of these things I use to call roofys

 

[madmax]

How about H2O for Huamole Olakau’atu 🙄

I must admit trying to decipher some of the nicknames when calculating the MVP points can be tough 😀

One of Roy and HG's I always liked 'The un-made bed' for Andrew Johns.

Some others from memory:
Cough drop - Jamie Ainscough
Cheese 'n' Chives - Jason Smith
and of course, 'The Poo In The Shoe'

I was reading about Roy and HG recently and they say the big part of their success is that no matter what the other person says - the other always backs them up.

They're probably too modest to also mention they are quite clever and witty, but I thought it interesting none the less.

That was from an Australian Story they did recently. Really interesting.

 

[John Nicholson]

Found out that Keppie (or Keppy) is a Yiddish word for head or little head.

Looking at our version, why not "Knut"?

 

[KNUCKLES]

??

Well that joke went straight over your head lol..
U know like slipping a micky?

 

[MadMarcus]

I bet macgyver could work out how to get Rubes to kick goals too. All he’d need is some fishing line and a lighter.

[Jabuh]

How about 'mustard' for cust? He's keen and his performances of late have really been cutting it.

Cade Cust has so much potential for nicknames. When he gets old he can be decayed cust.

 

[Dion Johnson]

With Guaca, I thought Roy could have better suited him after the big ‘ O ‘

 

[wombatgc]

Ahhh now I get it ....i just presumed because he was big like a tent .....just TP
DOH!!!

Don’t worry, you weren’t on your own. I just kept hoping someone’s going to explain it.

Addin "Fiona" Blake

From the safety of my lounge room...yes.
To his face. Yeah/nah.

You just know Roy and HG would call him wingnut.
