    Nostalgia

    I lived on North West Arm Road until I was 4, then on Gymea Bay Road until I was 21. I feel old when I remember attending opening day of the Ampol garage on NW Arm Road (complete with swagman mascot) and now it is knocked down. I was right in front of Gough Whitlam when he opened the Lily...

    Nostalgia

    Being grand final week, this photo popped up on my farcebook today. Taken at the motel I used to own, I was just about to saddle up and head down to Homebush in 2016. As a Shire-born boy in the '70s I remember sitting next to Steve Rogers and Greg Pierce on the scoreboard hill watching the...

    Could be. The Shell disappeared some time ago, but is still a vacant lot. Old Ted Dries used to run it, and I remember one of the mechanics having an orange XA 4 door GT that from memory was done (or maybe even was) as a Phase 4. I can remember 13c per litre. I also remember the Ampol on North...

    Fafita considers quitting NRL

    They would write that. 3 days after a Grand Final win he has now wallowing in the depths of depression and has thrown his toys outta the cot. Would be more unusual if they didn't write this crap. Stirring the pot by talentless hacks.

    I'm led to believe there is some good fishing around here. Not being a fisherman myself......I'm a bit water averse.....unusual I know, for someone who grew up on Port Hacking. Certified land lubber, I am.

    I was a Gymea Bay Public/Kirrawee High boy, Quigs. Lived on Gymea Bay Road between the recently departed Shell garage and the school. Remember the Lily Festival?

    You mean I should indulge in some shameless self promotion? My motel is at Walcha....inspirationally called Walcha Motel, once patronised by the great Steve Edmonds. Anyone remember that awesome try in the '78 semis?

    Sharks Regional Supporters

    I live in the New England, plenty of Sharks supporters here. I was born in the Shire, used to catch the train from Gymea every match in the era of Fred Dennehy, Barry Andrews & co, sat on scoreboard hill, often next to G Pierce and S Rogers who would often watch the lower grades from there. I'm...

    The Club on game day

    I am expecting the club to announce something once the stadium is near full. I shall be attempting to buy tickets in about 45 minutes. If not, I am making the 5 1/2 hour ride down and I will be somewhere.....if not at the game I shall be somewhere in the Shire with a large screen, beer and...

    Business opportunity for Quigs.....

    How about a picture an elderly supporter in full regalia with a walking frame, under the words "It's About Bloody Time"?

    5 Days, Then The Roosters

    Don't carry a back on the bench. Loots played good, if Feki is back dump Beale. We are missing Taga....Fifita and Prior can't do it alone.

    RIP great man

    Loved watching him play. As a 12 or 13yo I can remember sitting next to him and Sludge near the old scoreboard watching the reserves or U23s play. Sad day.

    Is Jeff Robson the best ever Sharks Half back?

    According to this http://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/johnathan-thurston-james-tedesco-jesse-bromwich-who-is-the-most-valuable-player-in-the-nrl/story-fndv2us0-1227453946851 it is nearly 1500 days since we won a game without Robbo.
