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

  • Was at the bat and ball pub after 1969 GF Balmain defeating south,with the boys from the Bush ,a massive brawl broke out when one of our group grabbed a Souths flag from a vw that was at the lights,it it was on ,the man at his hot dog stand took off at the speed of a winger ,I think he might be still running .

  • Purse your lips and exhale. Well my old man f...cked that up in the birds and bees talk.

  • All of the above and I also miss people not being able to have a smoke without the authorities saying you can’t smoke in public places etc ( I have never smoked but I detest the government interference) 

    Or ride a bloody pushie without having to wear a bloody helmet! 

    Or being forced to have low alcohol beer at the footy

    or having to accept a certain doctrine be it climate change or women’s rights or gay rights and having it shoved down your throat and if you don’t accept it you are an outcast. 

  • I miss no internet so I didn't have to listen to you old bastards whinge about how good the old days where:)

    I miss 3.00pm kick offs. You'd be so psyched as a kid emulating the plays from the GF, running around till dark and the dry day weather made for better footy.

    • At least we have gotten to be old bastards

  • Born during the 2 nd world Hector were you ,I was.

"I agree that keeping Twiddle wasn't a priority. It is optically poor to lose him right after a highlight reel debut but it is what it is.
A clarification LB, the main job of MON is to make the Eels football successful, not to appease the Head Coach.…"

Have you noticed Harley Walker and Kade Moujalli in Flegg lately."

"Maybe Penrith are happy with their 1&7 and have sufficient back-ups. Can't explain how it's taken any other club this long to value Apa other than Mals mob. Maybe some clubs have similar R&R departments as us, slow to act."

"Everyone's path is blocked until it isn't.
Talagi left because his path was blocked... And then it wasn't.
We have to field a first grade team with depth, so everyone is going to have a path blocked. We can't keep using this as an excuse to lose…"

Richard Jackson replied to Muttman's discussion Apa Twidle signs with the Bears
"I'm dumbfounded our R&R hasn't identified his all round talent. Mystified as well. That leads to unders in any offer and they'll regret it one day. I think, as our most knowlegable expert on our juniors EA, you are wrong for once in your assessment…"

"Who says he had to be our 3rd place FB? We've waited years for him to debut and punted him straight after. What was literally the point? "

Muttman replied to Muttman's discussion Apa Twidle signs with the Bears
"They obviously don't want him hence the offer. Is that a good call? Who knows. But it's not as if we're brimming with rep quality outside backs at our club. "

"Should we go for Josh Curran as a centre instead? We might get him for 350k. He's very good and we save money. We have two NRL centre spots we need to fill with high quality NRL level players. If not Russell, who? "

LB replied to Muttman's discussion Apa Twidle signs with the Bears

""Stay at the Eels on less money to be our 3rd back up fullback. Why would you join a club offering you more money where your path to FG is more open?"
Pretty convincing sell?"

"So Parra have decided Apa Twidle doesn't show enough promise to be retained.
Most of the members here either agree with that assessment or are willing to go along;
I do not agree.
Most see him as a fullback only, as third in line for the position…"
