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

"Im hoping kelma out, williams to back row, and brown to start with big sam. Kelma not here next year, maybe he plays nsw cup more and more? Maybe penisni too? Maybe russell drops out and penisini stays in first, unless we get herbie, who i hope eels…"

Darren Munro replied to Parra-all-the-way's discussion Brown to debut?

"I think kitty or kelma. Can't afford to have both defensively. They will probably lean towards kelma. Kitty take about a month to get match fit. I hope he has a blinder."

Anyway who is left out there Sam Hughes??"

DYNASTY.LOADING replied to Parra-all-the-way's discussion Brown to debut?

"Yep this is what I'd have and I'd be signing Spencer Leniu to partner Sam.
This would require Paulo taking a team friendly deal.
Edwards and Samrani rounding out the bench. "

LB replied to Parra-all-the-way's discussion Brown to debut?

"BE, if he can kick on and hold a spot for the rest of the year, it can set us up for 2027 not having to worry about finding more middles. We still need one but if we had a pack of

9. Da Silva
10. Tuivaiti
11. Williams
12. Su'A
13.…"

LB replied to Parra-all-the-way's discussion Brown to debut?

"Not sure Kelma drops out. But it makes sense too. I think Mataele makes more sense even though I feel it is a tiny bit harsh since he has been not too bad. But also I feel Ryles prefers Williams on an edge as well."

LB replied to Parra-all-the-way's discussion Brown to debut?

"It has to be. Sucks for Mataele but also Brown has more upside unfortunately."

Prof. Daz replied to Parra-all-the-way's discussion Brown to debut?

"Unless a prop (Morettti, Williams, Tuivati and Maetele) is injured, T Brown coming in would be Williams shifting to edge? And Williams has mostly covered right edge backrow.
Kelma Tuilagi out? KT has come in for some critique, which after flying up…"

"Congrats young fella, give em hell. "

LB replied to Parra-all-the-way's discussion Brown to debut?

"Super mentioned his on poddy and is spot on. Brown is your RCG type. Punishes opponents and knocks them flying in defence. Tuivaiti is more that tuck under the arm and run and split markers. He's the Paulo type without the ball playing.
They are a…"

"Mataele "

LB replied to Parra-all-the-way's discussion Brown to debut?

"I wonder who misses out. I said to HOE and Super on poddy of this but said who does he replace? Unless someone is a late exclusion. Look at the current bench. Tuivaiti will play, Edwards will play and Walker will play. It leaves Mataele as the odd…"
