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

Or, Teancum could be in the NRL 17 if we don't sign a prop or Paulo retires/goes as well.

"Well Yehaz i do think there is a chance a player or two does leave from our top 30 before Round 1. Could Moretti be one of them?
I think ideally Talagi would be starting in Cup next year. Hopefully is pushing to start end of this year but Ryda does…"

"Yeah that's why I suggested those two. I can see Walker, even Paulo, plus Pryke, Mataele, Lokeni, all leave end of year. Maybe we keep 1 or 2 as depth. So that means Koina/Talagi/Jezaiah get another year in cup but be next man up. Still leaves us…"

"I do not mind either Pryke or Mataele staying for a year as depth. Both? nah. I think Pryke more likely, as he more likely is content with a dev deal. Mataele i do not see getting an extension. Had a nice game v NQ and played decent for us but also…"

"Fotuaika not a bad shout. Someone like that but i do wonder how much the club wants to invest in Tuivaiti, Brown, Koina and Talagi as the future middle rotation as well we might be more content just going with a decent 1-2 year option."

"A middle and an outside back. 
Jackson Ford or Fotuaika for the middle. Middle of the road, late 20s, and could be tempted. Fotuaika form has not been outstanding but maybe that's why a new lease of life would help.
Outside back, left centre…"

"Nice and fair blog Chief.
Either way i feel there will be signings, more so due to who is off-contract. We only have 22 signed up for 2027, at least 6 spots need to be filled by Round 1 next year. Russell, Matto and Pezet we know are definately…"
