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

Offside replied to Mallee57's discussion Will Moses be in Origin 2 & Should He?

"I'd go strange.

Moses at this point in his career should make rep footy his priority its the only chance of winning anything he has a few more years with us and his premiership window is definitely shut."

Angry Eel replied to Mallee57's discussion Will Moses be in Origin 2 & Should He?

"100%. Putting my Parra hat on I don't want him picked. Putting my NSW hat on it's an easy pick for me. If he's fit, he's the man for the job"

The Captain replied to Mallee57's discussion Will Moses be in Origin 2 & Should He?

"Bingo! Spot on LB.
If he's fit he'll be picked and he absolutely deserves to be.
Like every single club we want our best players playing for us week in week out still. I'm thrilled for Moses when he's picked, and sad for our team. 😁"

LB replied to Mallee57's discussion Will Moses be in Origin 2 & Should He?

"If medical team fail him, then pass him for Origin not much we can do. NSW would have their own doctors to test him out. If Moses chooses to play our hands are tied.
