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.

The Captain replied to fake midget pseudoachondroplasia's discussion Ryles coaching
"It's way too early to make any proper judgement on Ryles coaching ability. We went with Ryles, in reality that's 3 years invested before we even have useful enough data to make a call on whether he's good, bad or average.
The time to question…"

LB replied to fake midget pseudoachondroplasia's discussion Ryles coaching
"The thing about Ryles, that can be seen as a positive, is that he seems to not be completely his way or the high way. He brought in Nathan Brown to be someone he can talk to about what he should do. He had Eddie Jones in from time to time to offer…"

"So you were on record that Penrith only won due to the NRL rigging it with refs. They lose and it's NRL rigging it.
Which is it? They favour Penrith or don't? 😂😂😂😂"

He debuts and scores 2 tries and he's immediately apparently talking to other clubs."

"Ea , ask yourself this question,  is Twidle worth keeping ? Ye or no
If he is you find a way. Thats mark o'neill job to identify talent and lock them up before its too late

"Well done Parra see if you can loose this young star, as Parra's track record is not the best when it comes to signing & keeping talent.
Grow a set & show the other NRL clubs you  mean buisness when it come to players recruitment

He needs a lot of work defensively to be a center, which someone like Richie Penisini (who's younger than Apa) already is better at. 
at 5/8 the defense will be an issue but we have Lorenzo, Fletcher, Risati,…"
