One delusional ActronAir account manager has today made the ambitious claim that rugby league is coming home.
He’s just one of thousands of central-western Sydney footy fans who believe that this is their year, after suffering for so very bloody long.
Local police have reported in a large spike in juvenile graffiti vandalism across the area, with some grown adults even being found spraypainting “it’s coming home” on parked cars and bus stops across the city-within-a-city
This comes as the Eels christened the brand spanking Parramatta Stadium with a 51-6 NRL humiliation of the Wests Tigers.
The Eels were dominant from start to finish, running in nine tries to one in front of a 29,047-strong crowd as they jumped into fifth spot, led by the Mitchell “The Lightning Leb” Moses – who parted a sea of frightened tigers to put 19 on the board alone.
Even without their usual playmaker, Blake Ferguson, out with busted ribs, and after losing prop Daniel Alvaro to a head knock in the first tackle of the game, the eels were able to lift to a level not seen since Sterlo.
It’s because of this that one local Parramatta father-of-4 has declared that the drought is over, and rugby league is coming back to where it was invented: The geographical centre of Sydney’s metropolitan area.
“This is our year boys” says the man, who also bet against Winx the weekend before.
“I can feel it”
