"@Mallee57..... congratulations Mallee, you just made a big claim for some of the dumbest comments every recorded on a single page on this site in my memory....."
"Jesus, some of the comments on here have aged well, about 2 minutes in some cases.
You stupid lot make judgements about things in about the time it runs to your brain, those that actually have brains i might add.....that leaves people in Mallee's …"

"So I've learnt this morning that the rules around punishment are different for rep games. The same charge would have resulted in Ponga missing 2 weeks if this was an NRL game. On the one hand I get it, but on the other it comes across as though head…"
"The 1EE gavels come with a cow prodder. For some strange reason."
"To be fair though, Sualli had to 2 heads to avoid where Ponga only had 1"
"Mose will not be ready for game two I think"
"If we had a Walsh or Ponga at fullback that would be a great option. Cleary was terrific last night. He struggled early on being the only kicking option. The line speed (and the fact that everyone is offside in origin) really cuts down his time when…"
"I reckon Strange could get moved to the bench for Game 2. He's a hard unit and would be good to have in the team somewhere. And if Moses is in the team because he's made of glass for Origin we almost have to carry a serviceable backup."
"I know it won't happen but Moses and Strage would be an awesome combo. Cleary and Moses don't really do it for me - what makes them both great overlaps a bit too much.
If Moses is fully fit, he will make the squad though. Strange was great but it's…"

"He accepted an early guilty plea and was fined $6,900. Had he challenged, he was facing a 2 match ban."
"We'll have to get you a 1 Eyed branded gavel"
"This might be unpopular but whilst strange was good, he was largely ineffective until the game opened up when Ponga went off. Moses takes pressure off Cleary with his kicking game. You can't afford to only have one kicker in origin. Strange's…"
"Hilarious that this was a fine only.
Some players simply can't get suspended no matter how hard they try.
By Klein standard (which he's set over many years of Origin) this was a sendoff - he's done it multiple times before. By how fans WANT Origin…"

"Yep, Brent Read said it clearly, granted a QLD fan, that how NSW fans are saying they were great is beyond him. He is 100% correct. Wade Graham argued against it and said they deserved the win as it was send off.

Sorry Parrafan not you in particular but I hate when people see a great game by a player and go "we should get him" like it's that easy and there is not their own club…"

Remember Rodney Hogg

Which players would you target as a value investment?
Which players in the NRL do you see as being a value investment that you would like to see Parramatta sign? Often when we discuss player signings, we talk about a player's rumoured market price and their current form. Is that how we should be…

Hi Don . Thanks for sharing your story . Life has been tough for you mate and I wish you well . So you were working up until the car accident in February?
Good on you Don you tough bastard. You survived all those things but it looks like the bureaucratic red tape might do you in.
Geez mate, they say things come in threes...I think you broke that rule. Anyway, hope you're going ok, and get by until the money starts flowing your way again.
Stuff me roan and I thought I had been through shit .got nothing on you mate
It will happen mate, before you clock off. Seems like itll take armaggedon to finally do you in anyway lol. Keep rollin on brother, keep the faith
Thaks for the reply Poppa. Its good to see someone with the strength to talk about their beleifs. I am right there with you Poppa, I am Spiritual also.
I was seperated from my family when I was 3 and I lived with the separation anxiety for most of my life. Being a youngster everyone asumed I was a difficult child being unable to bond and make friends. The State didnt care about our mental health and abandoned us once we turnes 18 to walk this Earth alone. I have a petition in at the NSW Attornie Generals Office petitioning for the State Wards as we speak.
When I was 22 I met the love of my life. Sadly she was killed in a auto accident 3 yrs later. I learned the hard way that nothing was forever.
I married for all the wrong reasons. Fortunatly I have 3 great adult children and 8 grand children.
I took up Meditation and eventually grew apart for wife number one. I became greatly Spiritually aware.
I eventually remarried to a Phillipino woman with 2 children. I realised that my greatest desire was to give someone else a better life. I also offer guidance to people who may or maynot want it. The Spiritual journey is a private journey often by self worth issues, such as the ones I have.
My wife accepts that i talk about other realms and think in a manner that most poeple would be put into a Asylum for. You have a strong background Poppa, in Spirituallity. Through Meditation I have been given insights , met Spirit Guides and forefathers. In my darkest hours I have had visits at the foot of my bed from my forefathers and lain in my bed and been comforted with hugs.
So I say this to you Poppa its up to you. Whats normal for me is not necessarily normal for you.
How far do you want to go , how much are you prepared to be closer and how close do you dare to be?
Listen to Doreen Virtues Colour Meditation for everynight for 30 days at least.It is a guided Meditation that goes for 28 Min. You will never be the same person in 1 month. If you stop you will come back to your current level, except you will know that if you dare , there is a journey that awaits you.
No funny enough. I normally work 7 days a week but this day I was out to get some bits and peices.
Didnt feel any pain. Just a megga sweat.
Being dead is the same as sleeping. It only took 3 compressions to get me started. Then I stopped beating at the hospital again. Noone knows why.
God I hope he didnt give me the kiss of life. I may never stop brushing my teeth
So what do you do in your spare time don?
Are you Swiss by any chance?
This blog got me thinking.
Everyone has a story, some good, some bad and at times people see the need to share theirs for whatever reason.
One day each year we are supposed to say to all and sundry R U OK, so why not on other days?
Some of us feel like we are having a whinge when we open up about some of the not so delicious moments in our lives while others may simply need a bit of reassurance that things will mostl likely improve with persistence.
Thanks for sharing this Don, and if I was to give you one piece to take with you I would say - Keep smiling, because once you lose the ability to smile (or laugh) you have lost absolutely everything.
Well done mate.
Great post col.
