Hope you're doin' OK Tad :)

Posted by Kramerica on May 19, 2020 at 5:00pm in Current Affairs

I noticed a couple of days ago that Tad hadn't been around - and today I noticed that his old posts aren't on the site and thus he is no longer a member.

Tad was a kind sole and a regular poster on here - he had a passion for social issues and was always keen to participate in discussions on any social/current affair type issues. I didn't always agree with his views but Tad was a gentle fella who was never deliberately abusive, aggressive or robust in his language and - even if he upset someone - there was never any intended malice or aggression in his posts.

Tad, if you read this mate, I would like you to know that there are plenty here who believe the site is poorer for your departure.

I hope you're doing well mate and I hope to see you back on here sooner rather than later.

Cheers brother :)

I'd like to echo those sentiments Kramer.

I've always enjoyed Tads input to the site, and even though like you I didn't always agree with his views, he was always thoughtful and respected others views.

If you're out there Tad, come back mate, we miss you!

Well said Kram, and agree on that. Hope Tad is ok..

  Snakey, I've contacted him. You're right, he's a great guy, mate. As are you.
Hell On Eels May 19, 2020 at 9:17pm

Great blog, Krams. I'm a big fan of TAD, and you're right he's a wonderful person. He has always had my respect. A wise, gentle and creative soul. I've sent him a message outside the site, and I'll let you know what happens.

    Thanks Mick, TAD's a top bloke. Really glad so many have realised this. I can't praise the guy enough.
Kramerica May 19, 2020 at 10:52pm

Jeez you're a good bunch of blokes - hand on heart - all of you :)

HoE and Pop, if you manage to make contact with Tad let kim know he belongs here, with us (I know you will).

Cheers lads - fucking legends!

I'll throw my hat in the ring too!

Come back Tad! I can't fight all these right wing lunatics on my own ;-)
Prof. Daz May 20, 2020 at 9:14am

Come back, Tad. We all miss you. Even Snake's tiny little heart burns for you.
Eric The 17.78cm Eel May 20, 2020 at 3:29pm

Come back Tad, your open & honest posts are always appreciated, especially by Snake.

Here is Snakey at the re-opening of his local pool. Just like you Tad he believes in honesty.

Parra fan on The Hill replied to Offside's discussion Samrani vs Penisini

"Other way round if it were to be. Penisini is too slow for the wing.
Wouldnt drop Simo. His hit ups are good and he works hard.
Anyway..Samrani 1st drop for injuries or suspensions. Not bog average Brian Kelly.

paul taylor replied to Offside's discussion Samrani vs Penisini

"With over 100 nrl games in difference with samrani and will P . I like samrani puts himself in the game and has a physical presence about it. Will has definitely worked on increasing his pace and defence but Samrani not that far behind him now . "

Offside replied to Offside's discussion Samrani vs Penisini

"Definitely more time is needed to make a judgement call but I hope some actual competition for his spot. "

EA replied to Offside's discussion Samrani vs Penisini

"Broncos attacked our halves and backrow spot in attack. They didn't actually test our centres defence other a couple times with Russel vs Staggs. I don't think it's fair to compare the Storm and Broncos game. "

Clintorian replied to Offside's discussion Samrani vs Penisini

"The right edge definitely looked more stable with Samrani, but it's hard to compare as Storm and Broncos are two different sides at the moment.
I would consider Samrani at right center and Penisini right wing, with Simmo dropping out."

Coryn Hughes replied to Hell On Eels's discussion Winning It Twice, Off The Canvas

"The game hasn't changed as much as you'd like to think the good teams keep momentum by not making errors keeping there games simple and completing sets.
The 3 games I did watch this week were ours Riff and Melbourne.
Melbourne was the interesting…"

KENDOZA replied to EelsAgeMe's discussion Ryles/Moses comments on Pezet

"This is his first year in fg plsying week to week. He's still raw atm but will get better as the season rolls on"

LB replied to EelsAgeMe's discussion Ryles/Moses comments on Pezet

"Yep Talking Parra had Tuilagi and Pezet at 9.5 and felt that was too high considering both had issues during the game, particularly the first 25 mins."

Blue Eel replied to Hell On Eels's discussion Winning It Twice, Off The Canvas

"With To'o and his comment of "Hard work beats talent" leans into what i suspect with my comments below as well. Discipline, ie hard work to get back in the line and move up when fatigued , the cover defending the fullback getting back in…"

"Well said "

Old School Eel replied to EelsAgeMe's discussion Ryles/Moses comments on Pezet

"They are spot on. He did more wrong than right. The bounce of the ball goes the other way on Smith try and his own, and his performance would be crucified. They were very lucky bounces on somewhat selfish 3rd tackle plays. He was also at fault for a…"

Hell On Eels replied to Hell On Eels's discussion Winning It Twice, Off The Canvas

"Thanks, Bluey. You're onto something. Refs are having a huge say. Most points are off the back of a combination of either errors, penalties or restarts.
Restarts are getting out of hand and so inconsistent it isn't funny anymore. They've doubled…"

Hell On Eels replied to Hell On Eels's discussion Winning It Twice, Off The Canvas

"Coryn, well said. After the Panthers strangled the Sharks, I loved what Brian To'o said post-game: “Hard work beats talent.” Hard yakka.
It was also interesting what Nathan Cleary said in an interview about last year’s finals loss to the Broncos…"

"You want to trade two backs for an average forward, what are you on about."

Samrani vs Penisini

Hard to compare but I think the right edge looked better with Samrani on the weekend.There is no doubt Will has alot of talent but he looks like one of those players who would excel somewhere else since his debut he hasn't really been challenged for…

Ryles/Moses comments on Pezet

Did anyone else notice in the post-game press conference that whenever the journos brought up Pezet, both Ryles and Moses seemed pretty reluctant to lean into the praise?Their body language was interesting. The vibe was basically, “he’s still a work…
