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

"Tim Mannah at his peak always used to find his front and had the penchant for getting quick play the balls that's a must in the modern game.
Id take him over Cayless who was a bit of a plodder IMO 
Me to  I'd also take both RCG and Jnr over Cayless."

The 50+ Statistic

 I found this statistic interesting and wasn't aware it was a 113 year record. Can the Eels make history by breaking this record and also a 40 year drought? Let's hope so. Records are meant to be broken. Strangely enough the Eels were Newcastle…
