Met the great man at his Gerringong Pub today for the first time. What a gentleman! Thanks for all the great memories over the years Mick.

"I think with the current speed of the game and the increasing amount of HIA's I really think having a 6 man bench which all 6 can be used during the game at the coaching discretion is the way to go. If the game was slower ( get rid of repeat sets)…"

"Yeah i think instead it should be the same, 4 man bench, but instead of only having 18th man have a 19th too. So if Parra name Papali'i at 18 and Penisini goes down not overly ideal. But if you have Samrani at 19, activate him to replace Penisini as…"
"I'd drop Kautogo for Hopgood
I'd drop JDB for Morretti
I'd also drop Simonsson to keep Samrani.
Wingers: JAC and Samrani
Centres: Penisini and Russell

Props: Jr and Hopgood
Backrow: Tuilagi and Williams
Hooker: Smith
Lock:…"

"It was a huge win, massive upset.
McGuire will be copping the knives all week from the media after that one. Which is complete bullshit, but anything to destabilise them after last year is a good thing."

Why did fans want Ryles head after 1 game ?
Just a general question, not sure why a heap of fans wanted Ryles gone after Rd 1 ? He's shown last season that he's capable of turning the team around and is still trying to build the squad he wants lol. Was just weird to see fans bagging him 🤣

Radradra, Hayne or Sivo - Most NRL Tries
I reckon if Semi, Haynes or Sivo had persisted in the NRL we might be talking about them breaking the NRL try scoring record. I think Semi and Hayne were close to 1 try per game average over 100 games? Thoughts?

This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
There is a reason he is the first "Champion" of Parramatta. Played in all of our Grand Final wins. One of the all time greats and worthy of Immortal status. I laugh at anyone who knocks him as a goal kicker. He held the all time ARL/NRL point scoring record for years kicking leather balls from sand mounds. More importantly, a champion human being. Great photo Garry.
Also needs to be remembered he didn't start playing NSWRL until he was 26 so his total points scored could have been higher if he started earlier.
