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

    • 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 :)

"Havnt seen enough of talataina to speculate, but metcalf was killing it last year.
Atleast if you sign metcalf you know what you are going to get and thats a quality halfback, talataina is unknown if he can handle first grade."

"Few things to decipher from this. Firstly, is this Metcalf's manager pushing the Warriors to name him and using us as pawns in that as we need a 6?
Or is it we actually are interested if a talent arises?
I think the former is more likely. Warriors…"

"I don't mind him as a 1.5 year signing for hooker back up next year. In the current game, it's difficult for hookers to play a full 80 and a versatile backup like him would be well suited."

"I don't see what the point is here if we are looking at the mentioned is Talataina not who we think he is as CHT makes more sense if you want a half to play next to Moses.Metcalfe is a 7 not a 6 and he's defense is questionable.He makes more sense…"

"Eels95, even though he's not a great Hooker he can play it somewhat if desperate. Would rather that than someone like Hudson or Coinakis when nowhere near ready. Edwards at Hooker if needed is ok as he can defend ok as well and has 57 NRL games."
