What was the real reason for Lance Thompson leaving?
How old are you DQ? Your profile says 54? I am 42 and remember Michael O'Conner in 1985. He was my hero as well. That kick from the sideline. WOW!I'm too young to remember this game but let it go. It"d it be cathartic given that Manly are struggling to say the least. I'm preparing for them to scoop the spoon this year. Hope that makes you somewhat happier
Perpetual whinger comes to mind.
O'Conner went to Manly, because he worked for Wormald, who were their sponsor at the time. I was very pissed off about losing O'Conner too. He was my favourite player at the time. I remember him debuting for us in 1983. He was raw talent and had a magnificent second half of the season. I wasn't shocked when he signed for Manly, as I already knew that he worked for Wormald and there was newspaper talk that he was going to sign with them.In truth blacksafake I have only the occasional , however I ensure that there's ice - must have ice and dry ginger ale in it . Enjoy a few cold V.B 's before hand though . But back to O'Conner I was rather irked by his sudden departure to the silver tails , after all the Dragons taught him the ' niceties ' of the game and then - wham bam thank you very much Ma'am and he was off quicker than a bloke who had a 1 night stand .
Yes it certainly did ALSGI, that was an even greater shock to the system , not only a very clever ball player and organiser but also our captain and not a bluudy word . And to make matters worse from a Premiership winning team , geeze there must had been a huge sum of money involved.
And Bird - what can one say ? Of late there has been a number of high profile players signed by the Broncos who just have not been able to deliver the goods . There could be any number of reasons for this - the environment of the club itself , not being able to find their ' groove ' in a new team , the coaching methods or dare I suggest the coach himself ? Whatever it may be , I really will not lose any sleep over it as I follow the competition leaders in the Big Red V jersey .
I was spewing about Superleague. I was making phone calls to complain and say my piece. I must have rang someone associated with Superleague, because Michael O'Conner rang me back personally on my home phone to try to appease me. It didn't work.
I think he was too slow. I remember a few players running around him. I was fine with us letting him go at the time. I don't think he ever lived up to the early wraps that were on him as a schoolboy.
I doubt that you are even a genuine Saints fan. lolDon't believe everything you read Crush.
Are you on the piss Frank? Hope you get a good sleep in,and take some Nurofen
So funny. But now that you mention it, I'm a huge Merrin fan. You may be right but you're not. Are you working too at this time? It's a bitch isn't it lol.
No, I am not on the piss. I am not a drinker, like you.Are you on the piss Frank? Hope you get a good sleep in,and take some Nurofen
Pity. You might be more fun.. Not tonight though because I'm working. Slow night for a Friday tbh. I'm not going to complain about that.
You remind me of a Penrith fan. lol
I agree Jimmy. I realised that I had said mergers and thought about correcting it to Joint Ventures, but I would have had to cough cough before it.
