Well we have been having a few dilemma's around here lately and I am getting confused, from what I can tell we have a lot of problems telling our left from our right. We don't have this problem at home because my wife is always right and I am constantly being left out. They tell me I am getting old and stupid!

A man named David call him Poppa, because thats who everyone knows him as maybe suffering from some cognitive issues, he  invited two of his friends over—both of whom were also battling memory problems. Their names were Sir Col and Slugg..... 

They entered the house, exchanged warm greetings, and laughter soon filled the room. Poppa said, “Let me make you some tea,” and off he went to prepare it. They drank the tea happily.

A short while later, Poppa asked, “Shall I make you some tea?”

The old blokes replied, “Yes, please do,” and once again, Poppa brought them tea.

As the conversation flowed, Poppa suddenly exclaimed, “Good heavens! We've been talking for an hour and I completely forgot to make you some tea!” So, for the third time, he went and brought more tea, and they drank it without complaint.

At the end of the evening, the two friends stepped out of the house. One said to the other, “Can you believe we spent the whole evening at Poppa's and he didn’t serve us a single cup of tea?”

The other replied, “Poppa? Wait—did we even visit Poppa today?”

At that very moment, Poppa peeked out from his window and called out, “Shame on you both—walking past my house and not even stopping in for a cup of tea?”

So the two friends turned around… and went back inside—to have some tea!

The moral of this story is that Poppa will be around till Parra wins the premiership, so when ever you see him make sure you remind him to make a pot of tea. You might not see Sir Col and Slugg but they said their coming for tea as soon as we win.

PS There are 4 people in that group, I forgot who the other one is? I think I am the one with glasses, but can't be sure. I do hate tie's though!

      • Me and the boys just dropping into Paris to spread the word that "Parra's" PLAYING TONIGHT! 

        • Pops, true story. I was travelling in some remote place years ago and desperate to watch the Eels game, somehow stumbled onto a live streamed game with French commentary.

          Geez. The passion was off the charts. Every tackle was life or death, every good run, every tackle, every good pass a historic moment. It sounded a bit like this video below.

          Highly recommended. I haven't found another one yet, sadly. If I can rack up the recording, I'll show it to you.

    • I'm onstage playing with Randy's Reardoor Ramjets

"EA, 
Bloomfield will go RU because he wont make NRL IMO. Risati needs to knuckle down this year. Can play but I cant see him ahead of Lorenzo, Fletcher at this stage. "

ANY MORE SIGNINGS???

I've been frustrated recently about the work we have been doing in the open market. Jonah's alright for a year and JDB is solid but he's getting old. I feel we need more in the forwards and some a replacement outside back. All I have seen is links…

Where to stay Round 1 2026 v Storm

G'day everyone.  Taking my son ( it's his 16th birthday pressie) and my 17 yo daughter to round 1 in Melbourne.  Hoping with the Storm rivalry (and the Lomax shenanigans) we get a decent away crowd.  Question, can anyone recommend a hotel within…
