Lots of stresses and tensions flow through our site. Sometimes it is a good idea to try and understand that there are other ways to get a kick out of life besides football alone. A balanced perspective. We are walking to the time of year when great disappointments may make your life miserable. 30 + whatever years without a premiership there are some good medications to see things differently.{other than alcohol?}

    • Tad, life hasn't been good to me in the last 10years but I've never lost my sense of humour weird as it may be. At my age waking in the morning is a huge bonus. This song sums it up for me

      • That is the song and version I have picked for my funeral. 

        • Fuck bro,  and here I was telling the mrs I want 2 live crew just to stir it up a bit.

        • Slugg, MyBob, loved that. Touching. Beautiful. 

          Music is often better at expressing what we want to say than words.

          • Nice song o reflect on HOE particularly thinking of the hopelessness in many people's lives who have lost everything. Floods at Lismore and War in Ukraine.Makes me feel guilty that I am powerless to do anything meaningful to help.

      • Thanks for putting that up Slugg.Wonderful unicorn song which brings a tear to my eye thinking of all the people that I have lost that have had a big impact on my life. Stay strong mate.The world can be a very lonely place for older people with health issues in particular. Hoping our little one-eyed community can give you the opportunity to share your thoughts on many issues that pop up.

        • Thanks Taddles, I’m a tough old bastard I’ve had a few health issues but I never let them get me down. Occasionally I get a bit misty when I look at mrs Sluggs  photo, 50 years in a long time. 1EE has helped me cope I’ve made friends I’ll never see and some that I have. Parramatta Tragic came down to visit a couple of weeks ago he brought cakes an chocolates. If my thoughts fail me I've always got the yawning pig

          • I remember that song very well Slugg.  Music with a story to tell and comforting to listen to

    • Yes Slugg music and the creative struggles in process behind the scenes is giving purpose to one's life. Listening to it is a temporary relief from ills life can throw at you.We are So lucky to have lived through the early Beetles era.

"Small steps, we're getting there gradually. I reckon this sort of thing is contagious, like Iongi has committed long term it won't be long before others follow suit or at least want in."

"He went for Perth job. Talk was he was looking at GC job but no word on Knights job (could be wrong) i wonder with Matt being there and AOB being a mate he didn't want to take his spot."

"You'd think there are ratchet clauses & what not that. Iongi has a great attitude & is talented. Good R&R work. Hopefully, Ryley Smith extends long-term too. He's been upgraded to an NRL contract this year (goes on our cap, not a free lunch)."

"Think he's just really comfortable at the club and has finally broken into the nrl. Seems happy to be an eel so probably an easy call for him. Doesn't seem like he wants to stuff around with contract disputes or anything like that. "

"I think some underestimated the importance of that player survey as mentioned in the other blog. This is where having the right kind of environment comes in handy - once players are here they just want to stay."

"yes I saw it LB but reckon it is media hype as it also said Brad would have plenty of options if he decided to return to the NRL and we all know he hasn't as he tried and would already be in the NRL as a coach if he did."

"Be interesting to see how much they have ponied up for Iongi.
400 he was on I suspect a healthy increase would be on the cards here.
5 years is a commitment and a good extension by the club he's definitely someone we want to build around."

"Well getting Koloamatangi helps. In terms of backs it seems Ryles values a low to mid tier salary Winger. If he is paying good price for one he won't the other so just get a Winger who can do a job either starting or depth wise.
Then hope either…"

ANY MORE SIGNINGS???

I've been frustrated recently about the work we have been doing in the open market. Jonah's alright for a year and JDB is solid but he's getting old. I feel we need more in the forwards and some a replacement outside back. All I have seen is links…
