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 :)

 I misread. Burton is reported to be on $750,000 for this year and next.  Anything around that figure would be ok. "

 A Moses / Burton halves combination should work well. Burton for 2 or 3 years on a contract similar to or below the reported  $875,000 per season he is currently on. "

"Burton goes alright. He's not the most gifted ball player or creative player but he has a good running game, good defender, and a very good kicking. Next to Moses and Iongi he will play his role well. Just need a decent back rower and centre outside…"

"That is also why Ryles went with smaller forwards for that short passing game in the middle. Lack of bigger middles and the tuck the ball under the arm style players."

"I was thinking tonight watching the game, take away Burton's kicking and what else do you have? He's still a good player, but his best years are behind him without a doubt. I'd still take him for 2-3 years at 6 transitioning to centre."
