Poppa's Corner: Under 21's an Early Discussion on This Upcoming National Competition. Yes that is every club in the one underage comp!

I replied in another blog to "Pou"who has a good insight on many things Rugby league and Parramatta. I thought maybe a stand alone blog on early days maybe a good discussion point. Especially given our/Ryles emphasis on some of the young players he has recruited and has coming through.  I am not sure what this comp will be called i.e Flegg,  but I think Ryles may haven stolen a march in the recruitment stakes! I have a suspicion they (NRL) will announce a major sponsorship. ""Pou,  note your…

Yes, they could both be proven wrong and I hope they are , but for our pack to not to be rated in the top 8 by two experienced subject matter…

Dealing with medical conditions and recovery

So in response to a comment from Poppa where i finished off with saying that i would be out of it due to an unplanned surgery i had to remove two stones from my right kidney, though why not pass time while i am home, off work to discuss if anyone else had a disaterous time with dealing with hospitals or dealing with stones or anything like this.
