Fire Up! # 20/12 - Stephen Ferris & Brett Oaten - Rd 21 Preview: The hit heard around the World

Summary: The hit heard around the world has effectively signalled the beginning of the end for Souths who have once again cowered in the face of success. In typical GI fashion, Dean Young’s lifeless, unconscious body seemed to display far more emotion than the dead eyes of the big man ever could. Has the first case of Fire Up related violence reared its ugly head? Was the hit on Marty Kennedy a good hit, or a jealous ploy by Travis Burns for his lack of Fire Up appearances over the last week? You decide. It’s been a week of great celebration for the NRL with the game’s greatest thinker, Ricky Stuart, back in the thick of things full-time at Parramatta! Sandow is particularly happy believing Stuart’s appointment can only improve his performance. We take a look at the 2012 player’s poll and shake our heads in dismay as Mick Ennis’ standing as number one grub is challenged young gun Josh Reynolds. Mr Miyagi vs Scott Baio?! Oh Dear!
