AHH THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Well here we are its grand final day and it marks the end of another season and I thought I would just reflect o n seasons gone by 

I miss the old times of when you would have the old backyard Barbie with the family and selected mates and get half cut before the 3 o'clock kickoff 

When beer was full flavoured and full of hops .not the chemical made crap of today .AHH give me the old KB or DA any day 

When all this climate change talk was not an issue and people did not push their beliefs down  each other's throats one way or the other

When the warm and fuzzy brigade did not get their knickers in a Knott when some of us have said we dont go for female commentators or female Refs and touch judges .AHH bring Back Frank Hyde Rexy Ferris Ashton Alan Clackson .Hollywood Hartley .that tall cheating bastard from up north that used to referee the state of origin the grasshopper Gomersal .Ahh  the good old day's. But in saying all that I'll still watch the game tonight .just hope that its a good game .WHO to win dont really care as i dont go much on either team .just good luck to both teams and may the best team wins on its own merits and with out to much controversy and finally i just wish everbody and their family's a safe and happy grand final Day .but i still miss the good old days

    • I miss cheap Resch's schooners at the pub and I miss Israel Folau religious posts on One Eyed Eel........NOT.

    • Well that’s a pretty fair assessment their twin they were good times hey

  • Those were the days Wongy - back when there were at least half a dozen hot dog vendors outside the ground flogging doggies from those stainless steel contraptions - 50 cents extra for cheese.

    Check out this photo of a packed out Parra Stadium.Eels v Roosters 1987. I'm the tall bloke in the '86 style Parra Jersey with number 3 on the back (crow). Check my sweet mullet :) .  I was 18 - the fella to my left is my best mate, we've been going to the footy together (with others) for over 30 years. We graduated from The Hill to the Thornett Stand in 1989.

    Have a great grand final day mate - cheers :)

  • What's Blow mean ?

    • From memory Seth I think it means when you purse your lips and exhale

"I disagree that minutes are necessarily a factor in a player's value. Middle forwards often contribute more in 40 minutes than many outside backs."

"Wiz, even though I’ve got a soft spot for Gus, I fully agree with you on Cleary. Class. Pity what happened with Ando and us. Some of our players (2010) and politics let him down. Saints are lucky to have him. Not sure why he left the Roosters?"

"That's why South's haven't rushed into giving him what he wants.
Hes a good player don't get me wrong but not for that new TV deal or not.

"Keaon can play 80 in the middle, he did for Souths. Now look at Terrell May and you see you cannot do that every week. But i also agree that $900k plus for a middle is too much, exception to Haas and Tino as they are once in a lifetime talents. But…"

"Firstly, it's not the EPL transfer window, so deals aren't being done left, right and centre. Second, it's the last pre-season signing period before the new franchise is admitted, meaning plenty of players are stringing out negotiations to get…"

"💯 we don't want to be over paying a guy that in all essence is only on the field 50-60 minutes tops.You only spend that on guys who can swing results.Me personally he's a 650-700 k player you throw in the TPA and that gets him to the number he wants…"

"That's the thing Coryn. Is it possible to pay too much for Koloamatangi? I think it is. Every club has some wiggle room on how much they can afford to overpay. Hopefully Moses hasn't taken up all of ours."
