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

"No matter what the result is as long as the team puts the same effort, desire and work rate they shown against the dogs, I reckon the Parra fans will be glad. But better still with a win. "

"Great news if it works for Koina. Any outside backs you think you can cash your ticket on? Sounds like we almost have too many forward prospects. I suppose the cream will rise if there's lots of competition "

Paulo and D Walker 1 year IMO. Same for Pryke and Volkman.
Mataele I'd let go just because we have other forwards I rate more.
