Bathurst

Posted by Grunta on October 11, 2019 at 6:55am in Humour, Current Affairs, and Sports

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

Blue Eel replied to LB's discussion Report: De Belin dropped for poor form

"We moved on older forwards when Ryles came. Great move was the general consensus. Then due to not being able to recruit talented forwards and missing out on several, we were stuck with signing Debellin at 35years old. He was always only a bad game…"

"Good ol' Spider-man. My dad loved Phil Mann the spider-man. Would cheer all the time when the legends did the walk around Parramatta stadium."

LB replied to LB's discussion Report: De Belin dropped for poor form

"Guymer should get a look in as Lock soon. He is off-contract and will go elsewhere if not given game time. Though surprised Perth haven't tried to nab him yet. Maybe they have."

LB replied to LB's discussion Report: De Belin dropped for poor form

"They are but also placeholders for the season, not for a fortnight."

LB replied to LB's discussion Report: De Belin dropped for poor form

"I do consider it surprising as it was so soon. Had this happened in Round 10? Maybe not as surprised."

LB replied to LB's discussion Report: De Belin dropped for poor form

"Yeah he can be. He has experience and is a decent break glass option. But i believe everyone thought he would be over Samrani. Unless it is simple as Ryles prefers Kelly on the left and Samrani is needed on the right. But also they are professional…"

LB replied to LB's discussion Report: De Belin dropped for poor form

"We were desperate for a back with experience. Kelly presented himself as an option and we took a punt. Recruitment you never strike 100%. If anything i think the number is more 40% is the strike rate for decent teams.
I will say for Kelly, he had a…"

LB replied to LB's discussion Report: De Belin dropped for poor form

"Kelly i believe we all agreed would be nice depth incase of injury, maybe keep Penisini and Russell looking over their shoulder. But with Samrani practically jumping Kelly, it looks like a dud. Those happen, but good on Ryles for keeping standards…"

LB replied to LB's discussion Report: De Belin dropped for poor form

"When you have a 6 man bench you do not 100% know who will play to be fair EA. He could have simply named them in certain numbers based on what they were prior anyway. "

LB replied to LB's discussion Report: De Belin dropped for poor form

"Well it could have been he was planned for the 17 and is on the bench to find a spot. Some thought it could be he is just moved to the bench."

ReverseEel replied to Brad's discussion Flexi Membership

"Hi mate, I have a 6 game flexi membership too. If you're just general admission, I eas told by the membership team that you can just rock up to whichever games you choose. As long as you have your card, you should be able to swipe it and get in. "

"I was saying to someone the other day, Do you think origin will be reffed anything like they are now with the six again touch footy."

Yehez replied to LB's discussion Report: De Belin dropped for poor form

"Wouldn't give up on Kelly yet. He has some tekkers about him and some pace, can deputise Addo-Carr if JAC goes origin. When Kelly is on form in an attacking side he can be fun. Good option still."

Yehez replied to LB's discussion Report: De Belin dropped for poor form

"De Belin and Kelly were both placeholder signings till the next batch are ready. Both are 30 or above. They'll be used this year when needed and the more time they spend with us they'll pickup form.
But if they don't work they don't work. No…"

Yehez replied to Eli Stephens's discussion RTS looking to return to Sydney

"We are the stage where we need big game or not at at all. Richie or Alemaddine, let alone a Samrani or even Twidle, won't be that much worse if at all than RTS next year. Might as well give them the games. "

Mitchy replied to Brad's discussion Flexi Membership

"Hey Brad We do the four game one and am
sure it will be the same. You must nominate and choose the games first- download seats / tickets. My advice is to call tomorrow asap to ensure you can get seats! They're always v helpful "
