NRL Poetry - Big Boppers

NRL big boppers have changed a wee bit,

Skills and footwork along with the obvious grit.

The toughness hasn't faded, 

But new dimensions added,

They'll still leave you rethinking your career, leave you jaded

But Greg Eastwood will make you miss, pizzazz, oh I crave it.

They're subtle so keep watch, while your sipping your Scotch,

Expect an off load, some razzle dazzle, they can turn it up a notch.

Props these days have it all to make your bum cheeks rattle,

They're not just cattle, charging, rampaging chunks of metal,

They know when to play and when to settle,

When to go up the guts, when to leave opponents skittled.

It's now lots of fun, watching the big boooooys,

They do more than run, they've got a room full of toys

Graham, Eastwood, T-Rex and Parker,

SBW, Bromwich, Taumalolo and Fifita,

Long live the big bopper 

However, your core job will never be over

You'll always have to help out and eat a metre.

Or at least keep being a grumpy bugger.
