  • They had a few extra bells and whistles sure, but I didn't see anything a whole lot different.

  • What's so high tech? I'm sure we have everything in the video as well.
  • You need the eye of the tiger and heart to be Rocky Balboa. This team has neither.

  • We are actors pretending to be champions   , that’s for sure . 

  • Dont fear, according to the TCT its the toughest pre season theyve seen lol

    • What would a bunch of teachers know about tough . Tough to them is not having a pupil free day on the first day back from holidays . 

      We were called to the school last Thursday for a meeting becasue my daughter was accused of bullying . Apparently us telling our daughter to tell the derro girl who threw a rock at her that she doesn’t want to play with her is excluding the other girl and her mum complained i, now my daughter is  being a bully and at risk of being placed on some bully register  .  Let’s say when I left the teachers knew where my child got her “Overly dominant personality  “ from .    The fuckwits even acknowledged they knew about the rock throwing incident and hadn’t advised us .

        • Brissy , my daughter and son have both had the same chat . I’ve told them under no circumstances are they to instigate a fight , but if they find themselves in that situation they have my permission to unleash hell .  My daughter is a TKD blue belt at 8 and the young bloke at almost 5 has had to be her sparing partner virtually since he could walk haha .  So far other than the young bloke punching a kid at pre school a few years back who pulled his hair over the trainset , not one issue . 

          Poppa , the story is my daughter and this particular girl have had their issues since kindergarten. The other girls a girl who you can see is one that needs to assemble a group of girls around her kinda like a gang leader thing , and then bitch and boss as to whom gets to be in her click . My daughter is no angel and is a pretty dominant personality herself however is happy to play with pretty much anyone except this one girl . My daughter is always coming home telling us that blah blah blah , she did this and she did that . I’ve told her that she needs to just get over it and play with someone else . Even after the other girl has put grass and shit in my daughters school bag amongst other things , I’ve just told my daughter to suck it up because the other girls a shit kid who’ll grow up to be a Shit person .  I said you don’t have to play with her and if she keeps carrying on just tell her she’s not good enough to play with you because she’s a scum bag and she’ll end up on welfare like her mum .  I thought stuff her , if you belittle and embarrass her in front of her click maybe she’ll lay off , if she decides to take it next level I’m more then confident the daughter will convince her she probably wants to keep her hand to herself moving forward . 

          So ..... the other day my daughter was playing with one of our mates kids who’s a boy , and this kid came up and wanted to play . My daughter obliged and then this shit kid spat at my daughter . My daughter told the teacher on duty and the teacher told my daughter to just walk away from her ( all confirmed at our meeting the other day ) , my daughter then returned and continued playing with our mates kid in which said shit kid objected as the daughter obviously didn’t feel threatened . She then pegged a rock at my daughter and was given a gob full in return along the lines of what I’d told her to say , this kid then tells the teacher that my daughter said she can’t play with the group because my daughter claimed she was too poor .  My daughters then placed in the “ thinking room “ or some stupid room for the rest of lunch , said shit kids mum gets on board , we get a call for a meeting etc etc  . And now my kids a bully . 

          The short version of our meeting is that I flagged the fact this rivalry between the two has been going on for years and we’ve told our kid to ignore the other kid , the teachers haven’t addressed it , so we’ve told our kid to address it non physically .  I told them that I’m not worried about their concerns about my child being dominant because in the real world that’s another name for a CEO or boss .  I told them to sit my child next to the other girl for the rest of the year and eventually one of them will either come out on top or they’ll be best friends , but they didn’t think that’s an appropriate suggestion . I told them then they can do whatever they feel is appropriate then since they’re the experts however I won’t allow my child to have any further detentions or exclusions for issues that arise from her and the other child .  From what I can see is that my child’s being the one that’s expected to change because the other child’s mother doesn’t seem like the type that’d work with the teachers to change anything so the other kids been given a hall pass to do whatever she likes and everyone else has to change around her to keep the peace to make their job easy  .  Well now they know that they’ve hit a dead end with these parents also . 

  • brad aurther  and he staff, have gone way out there sense the review was finished, 3 am training run in the mist or sweat blood and tears, paint ball games ,a road trip, a night on the sheep farm  and weight drills in the farm house shed with 36 players, and not one player was tossed under the bus, in a  push to you nite the eels in mateship, which seems was not there last season.

    now back in parra ex  cattleyards  training with acdc music rocking like never before with huge speaker arounf the yards, at 7 am in the mornings, most of the player come back prenty fit for preseason too.

    now in what can be said a show of force to unite the whole parra brand badly dented last season,

    some one said, lets unite in club support like never before, so they rounded up 150 players from matthews , sgball  to the to 28 cap nrl players  to train together , playing eye of the tiger  to plump up the eels brad..

    you have to say the clubs going all out to grow the mateship flag, well done all.

    • My kids are moving schools anyway as we are in the process of buying another house . I enjoyed rattling those stupid women’s cages before we tell them . The mindset of 20 something year old female teachers is frightening, I remember my teachers we mostly older women who were strong and respectable ladies . These days they’re brainless morons who’re more concerned with their political views and not offending anyone who’s not a white working Australian . The dumb cunt even cut me off at least 5 times when I was merely trying to take responsibility for my child taking my advice and maybe giving her the wrong advice to approach the issue  , and then “ advised “ me that maybe my advice not to play with this cunt kid was not exactly the best approach . I said “ as I was trying to tell you before I was rudely cut off ...... “  if she wasn’t very rootable if you imagined her with a brain transplant I’d have hightailed it out of there after 30 seconds . 

      They even had the hide to bring up our weekend activities and finances as a potential issue . Hot topic in our house this week .  No wonder I can’t get my head around these numbskulls . Funnily enough , the very much suspected  homosexual Principal seems like the only guy who’s not scheduling his day around how many times he can be politically correct .
