Bathurst

Who is looking forward to the big race?

I followed the touring cars as a kid and was a Dick Johnson tragic, but I lost interest when he retired and all the cars started looking the same. Drivers were swapping teams between Holden and Ford and I didn’t follow it for decades.

When Dick Johnson joined with Penske, I found myself sucked right back in again and I am to the point now that I love it.

So, grab ya Winny Reds, a stezza with some Acca Dacca on it, ya favourite flanny and GO SCOTTY McLACHLAN!!!

I still watch it. But don't really have the interest like I used to. As you say, all the cars are the same now and it used to be a lot more chaotic when it wasn't part of the championship as you had privateers in all sorts of cars lining up for that one race against the pro teams.

Plus, I was a Peter Brock fan for so long, followed him from the HDT days, then in his various Mobil 1 Racing cars (Commodore, BMW, Sierra then back to a Commodore, then I started follwing HRT when he joined them in 1993. When HRT folded and merged with Triple 8 Racing, I lost interest in that team and started following David Reynolds, mainly because of his stunner of a missus.

  Yes, Ms Reynolds is quite the catch for Dave.
  
  I am enjoying watching the Mustangs succeed and they are very different looking to the Holdens.
  
  Man they look awesome and I hope that we see a couple of Mustang drivers on the podium.
  
  Chaz Mostert is smashing it this year and may be a smokey.

        Bathurst never fails to deliver. And no refereeing controversy. I was on Reynolds all day, and until that last safety car, he was right there. Always love watching Bathurst no matter who wins

"Not sure how you didn't rate him last year. He was great in JF last year at 18 when he played fullback. He reminded me of Drinkwater with a lot he did last year "

EA replied to ParramattaLurker's discussion Round 8 Team List v Manly Warringah Sea Eagles (Anzac Round)

"Yea given his age there is time to improve his game and mould him into a 6. He definitely has the talent. He was very highly rated at Panthers HM team in 2024. He also needs to pull his head in a bit because he has a very short temper like when he…"

EA replied to ParramattaLurker's discussion Round 8 Team List v Manly Warringah Sea Eagles (Anzac Round)

"Yea Bamblett has plenty of natural strength. He is taller than Twiddle. Bamblett is quiet skinny now. As Pou said, once he builds into his frame he will be quiet strong. "

EA replied to ParramattaLurker's discussion Round 8 Team List v Manly Warringah Sea Eagles (Anzac Round)

"Miller is dominant JF because he is still very big. He needs to lose another 10-20kg. Looks like he has been losing weight as the year goes on. Let's see how he looks by the end of the year.
Nunn is only 18. He will get a game eventually in JF."

Poupou Escobar replied to ParramattaLurker's discussion Round 8 Team List v Manly Warringah Sea Eagles (Anzac Round)

"Surely Bamblett is young enough to learn these things EA. He is 19 years old. I remember watching him last year and I didn't rate him at all. 12 months later he is twice the player. Who knows what sort of player he'll be at 21.
If Blaize Talagi's…"

"He looks bigger than Twidle to me. Taller anyway. His contact will improve as he gets stronger and he can use his mobility to find his place at 6. Coaches can challenge a players defence easier than teaching that natural flair in attack. "

"1. Ponga
6. Sharpe
7. Brown
9. Smith
That's what the Knights want to do with their spine, not sure if that's good enough for a premiership but it will get them playing finals"

Did eels dodge a bullet with Galvin?

I will say he tried hard tonight, but is he the answer? Eels at less than half strength beat them, now broncos as well, who are missing plenty. Does this show how well the dogs are really going?Did eels dodge a bullet?
