solemn post

On Friday I was traveling from Wodonga to Boorowa to visit my mum. I decided to call into Jugiong a small town on the Hume Highway to get some fuel and a feed. As I approached the town I noticed the amount of cars parked on the side of the road, in the car park and right up the hill heading South East. I then realised the the funeral for Lui Polemeni was being held. He was a young Gundagai player who had died during the week after being injured in a game a couple of weeks ago. Although deeply saddened by his passing I have been moved by the support his family has received from the clubs he played for The Gundagai Tigers, Harden Hawks and Boorowa Rovers. I know as Parra fans we are hurting due to the dilemma our team is in, but we should take a moment to think about what is really important to us. Our loved ones and how tragically they can be taken away from us

    • Crookwell is bloody cold lol. A bit of trivia about Frogmore in the 90 the town hall was lost in a bush fire. A local girl wrote to Lee Kernaghan to have a concert to raise money for new hall.Lee went further and had a tour of rural areas raising money for a lot of towns.It was in 1998 and was called the pass the hat tour.

1. Who would you like to see get flogged in Vegas - Gutherson or D. Brown. Or maybe they don't concern you and are only focused on us. For mine its Gutherson, I've never liked him off the park. Sure on the park he gave everything, but his contract…

"De Belin will do a lot of the clean up work, the 3rd man in for our defence. Hopgood is now not alone in that area. He will not be flashy but he will definately do his job."
