What EELS players have you seen in public?

Posted by Feel the Eel on September 15, 2009 at 10:04pm

I thought I'd start a thread on which EELS players you have seen out in public. And if you spoke with them, what they were like etc...Today I saw Jarrod Hayne on Church St (Parramatta). He was wearing these big sun glasses, trackies, and a sloppy Joe. He looked like a musician - kinda like a rock star. I was going to ask him when he was going to resign with Parra - but he was talking on a mobile phone, so I didn't interrupt him. He then ducked into a coffee shop.Last week I saw Eric Growth Senior eating Fish & Chips in Castle Hill (reading the sport section in the Daily Telegraph) & a few months ago I saw Nathan Hindmarsh & Luke Burt at a park in Glenhaven. Nathan's kids were playing on the swings near my daughter’s school. I also saw Brett Kenny at Woolworths at Dural.Have you seen any past or present players - and where? What were they like?

Feel the Eel...it appears we live quite close to each other...I am a resident of Glenhaven :)

Luke Burt always shops at Kellyville Plaza, Nathan Hindmarsh lives in Glenhaven, he also gets his hair cut at my hairdresser too :)

Jarryd Hayne I see everywhere I go!!!

Todd Lowrie often eats at Castle Towers too

And during the off-season a lot of the boys go to the Mean Fiddler in Rouse Hill

lol @ Jamesy

I saw Jarryd Hayne at Castle Towers, pretty much wearing exactly what Feel the Eel said, had his hood up to hide a bit I suppose. Didnt say anythign to him, he was with a mate.

Saw an ex-Eel in John Morris at Stockland Mall woolies at Baulkham Hills. Was going to give him shit and belt him but didnt want to embarrass him in front of his missus...hahaha

I saw Grothe at Sunshine Plaza in QLD when he went "missing" from training for the Australian squad.

I had a few beers with Jim Dymock at the pub not far from Parra Stadium after they touched up Melbourne in 2000. Wagon, Moodie, Hodgson and Stu Kelly were outside. There were a few others there but I was too pissed to remember who. :)

I had a beer at Brisbane Ekka with a one time ex-eel, Arthur Beetson.
