This week is a special week for one of the most talented and dedicated qootballers in the league. SarahSmiles has reached a remarkable milestone that many others do not achieve. He will play his 200th SFA game.

He started his career as a young and promising prospect in his early teens, eager to prove himself on the big stage. He worked hard to improve his skills, his fitness, and his mentality. He earned the respect and admiration of his teammates, his coaches, and his fans. He became a leader, a role model, and a legend.

He has given us many memorable moments over the years. He has scored spectacular goals, made incredible tackles, and won crucial 1 on 1's. He has lifted 2 premiership trophies, broken records, and received many awards along his journey. He has shown passion, courage, and loyalty.

He has faced many challenges and difficulties along the way due to his high achievements at such a young age. More incredible is the fact he has achieved all of this as a dedicated vegan. He has suffered injuries, setbacks, and losses. He has endured criticism, pressure, and expectations. But he never gave up. He always bounced back. He always fought for his team.

He is more than just a qootball player. He is an inspiration, a hero, a leader, and a friend. He is someone we are proud to call our own. He is someone we will always cherish and support.

Today, we celebrate his amazing achievement. We thank him for his service, his dedication, and his contribution. We congratulate him for his success, his excellence, and his legacy.


We salute you, our 200 game warrior. You are a true champion. You are one of us. You are our star. You are SarahSmiles.

SarahSmiles premiership teammate philreich had this to say.​
Congratulations to SarahSmiles, for creating SFA history by becoming the first 12 year old to play 200 games. Two of those games were winning grand finals with the Rats, and we'd love to see him back at The Underground one day, to add to that tally.​

Here's to you my friend
 
Deepest voice I've ever heard on a 13 year old. Congrats SarahSmiles, your voice is so deep it puts hairs on other people's balls.

Appreciate the kind words, it's been quite the journey. Big thanks to all those involved especially haydo, philreich, jackster83, nahnah and Cadsky
Here's to flag number three, or finally nailing that kombucha sponsorship!
 
One of my fav posters who flies under the radar, a really good egg and enjoyable player to be in a match thread with…and play trivia with :D
Congrats SarahSmiles and I’m glad you’re still around 🫶

Oi... Don't forget who dragged you kicking & screaming to premiership glory at the Underground Smilesy!

65.50% of your time as a rat.

Congrats!!
 
well done SarahSmiles on 200 games and being part of the great season 25 intake, that alone makes you one of the best ;)

Congratulations SarahSmiles on a spectacular career, the high point of which was playing your debut season with the Wonders. Recruitment policies at the Wonders have changed from those barbaric cradle snatching times. I blame haydo

As an avowed Tory monarchist you have naturally gravitated to the Royals. However with Cadsky in charge the Comp expects you will soon return to your long term hideout at the Swamprats.

Enjoy your 200th.
