Just found out some interesting news

I ran into my old high school mate on the weekend at the shops and turns out that his younger sister married the son of Brett Kenny.


He showed me pics and said he'd try to organise a meet-up for me and Brett.

  • Bert was my favourite player growing up. 
    My old man absolutely loved him and as he was involved in footy circles, I did get to meet him. 
    They say never meet your heroes and damn that is true a lot of the time but Bert was always gracious and giving of his time. 

    • I remember walking past him in Parra and he was in his sparky gear. I was maybe 9 and was in awe of the great man.

  • Where and when mate? I might just happen to be there. 

    • I'm not too sure but hopefully it'll be sometime this month.

  • Make sure to use a rubber, Bert's a stud.

  • man ParraPride ,,my absolute favourite Eels player ... nice one!.

    Should be an immortal I do rate him over Sterlo even though Peter got most of the individual awards

"Which is odd if true because VLandys is a pretty open book - he wants a faster game with more tries so he can sell more TV ad time and make the NRL worth even more in broadcast rights. 
We should have been ready for the touch footy. Other teams were."

"Agreed Zip. Time to see what the juniors have got. I think a turnaround for this tram will need some thinking outside the box. Clearly we are not Melbourne who can buy whoever they want to fill a gap, all within the salaries cap of course."

"💯 
Jr probably is more a lock these days. Better to use him there to attract defenders and get an off load. Williams is better on the edges. Teancum Brown and Tuivati makes more impact than any forwards we have. Unleash the new generation. "
