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

Knowing that it's almost impossible for us to get the spoon, I don't really mind this because it gives Tuivaiti and Brown an extended period for more game time"

"So, with players coming back, I recon players who have been playing injured like Paulo and Walker will be given a break.
I think Fox has overcome what was giving him problems earlier."

EA replied to Roy tannous's discussion Dylan walker offered to super league clubs🥺
"I think JR may actually put Papalii at 6 over both Volkman and Pezet as his defence is superior.
His attack is probably the weakest from those 3 as when he runs the ball he tucks the ball under his arm which immeditaly allows the defence to focus on…"

"I would play walker at 6 against the knights,  I don't think we can afford to play either volkman or pezet as our defence isn't good enough to counter the 5+ tackles per game both miss. I think we need to start picking our best 17 from here on In…"
