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

"But where do you play him AE? Iongi is our Fullback, his defence is not good enough for 6.
I think the club would consider Bamblett a better talent to invest in."

"Lorenzo being smaller than any first grade 6 I've seen worries me. Sure in attack he may excel but in defence i haven't seen enough of him to judge, but he's smaller than Jai Gray by the looks of it. "

"Lorenzo is the long-term halves option and Twidle sees himself as a half. Would you rather lose Lorenzo? You're going to see more of this as new clubs enter the competition. Any young guy that performs is instantly going to have their value…"

"This will come back to bite us.  So basically we invested/wasted in a rookie Pezet for a year. We don't give Lorenzo a run and now we let go one of the more versatile youngster, who we could have trialed at no.6 or in the centres. "

"No offence EA but everytime ive watched Twidle he just oozes class. Another one of these "not consistent" or "not ready" players. I'll tell you who hasn't been consistent in 1st grade for 7 or 8 seasons now, Brian Kelly. What have we got to lose…"

"Bears apparently have Toby Sexton @ 7. But at FB they have Meaney and @6 they have Tyran Wishart. If Twidle wants 1 or 6 his path is competing with utility players, and maybe he thinks he has a better shot at FG at Bears vs Iongi in his path to FB…"

"Throwing big 3 year deals at 3rd string fullbacks or 5/8s is how you ruin your cap.
Great attacking player with big defensive flaws and still a lot of erratic play. Sad to see him go but Lorenzo and Bamblet are higher potential and seen as worth…"

It makes 0 sense for Apa to stay. His path to FG is blocked at eels. His best position is fullback and he is 3rd choice at the club and Bamblett and Davis are coming through…"
