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

"The Eels in 1982 lost by 20 points to Manly who beat them 3 times that year but the Eels beat them in the Grand Final. They were also beaten by the Bulldogs by 22 points in 1986 but won the premiership"

Mallee57 replied to Eels2025's discussion Does anyone have hope for the rest of the season?

"Yes, but last year we had Dylan Brown ( who has great defence) and there was Lomax as well who made a big difference. I hope the Eels can turn this around. It's possible"

"I had us finishing 12th-16th and last night reaffirmed that.
We have a quality halfback and the rest of the team are just average Joe's.
We have a average rookie coach and our front office has to be one of the worst in the NRL.
It wouldn't surprise…"

Hell On Eels replied to EA's discussion Take Aways from the game

"Storm scored 11-2 tries when they belted us 64-10 in 2019 and then 32-0 later that year: our worst vs that mob. Since 2022, it's been one belting after another: 46–16, 48–16, 56–18, and now 52–4. Lest we forget.

Michael W. replied to Eels2025's discussion Does anyone have hope for the rest of the season?

"The rules allow these blowouts. Playing with 12 for 20mins, 6 against, most on 4th or 5th tackle. No team can come back from that, especially when a team as good as Melbourne have 10 and 12 tackle sets. Playing catch up footy just compounded the…"

"We always knew Madge was going to be a big chance of getting Barnett, it was Madge who brought him into Origin in the first place that elevated his positioning. Hard to battle the big dogs, but I do know how you feel."

Clintorian replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Hopgood 2 week ban,

"Keep it simple. Tuivaiti to replaces Hopgood, then Teancum or Moretti gets the bench spot.
Keep Kautoga and Williams on the edges and don't disrupt the team positions too much."

Blue Eel replied to EA's discussion Take Aways from the game

"HOE, going further with history, that was our largest 1st round loss since 1963.
This was Jason Ryles biggest loss as a coach.
Storm 9 tries to our 1 try is one of the biggest differentials in tries ever between the two clubs.
