"They need a gun fullback and another forward who's a big name "
"Precisely. Just makes me think someone at NRL HQ - and we all know who - got a very large suitcase of cash from the WA state government for agreeing to this. "
"they will feed on ours."
"Let's not forget all the gun kids coming through Perth's junior leagues. Hang on a second, there isn't any! I kinda feel the Bears will have a hard time for a long time. "

Blessings to Ken and family and may his next journey be a great one if there is one.
Never got to see him but heard he was a real gun.
But seriously the timing of this is freaky!
Just as we approach our final outing at pirtek after 30 years closing this chapter down.
Coincidently pirteks main seating area (i say main cause its where the players enter and exit from)
As we know is named the Ken Thornett stand.
I doubt the name of this stand would have been mentioned on this final match.
Not anymore, as Ken has just left us, and so will his stand next week.
Thornett il say will be classified as some sort of pioneer by gaining much recognition for parra in the not so glory days.
All parra legends came through the 80's golden run except for Ken Thornett who although came from a different era has always had his named tossed amongst our premiership players.
I was hesitant when i wrote that part cause wasnt too certain.
But couldn't resist but mention it
Love to the Thornett family.
I was interested to read that he did not score many tries in his career and was the first Australian fullback to score a try in a test match against England. That was a very different concept to modern day Fullbacks.
