A question for Mick Cronin:

You spent most of your career playing inside centre. (In my mind you and Bob Fulton are the two best inside centres I have seen play the game.) Do you see a time in the future where the game could go back to that inside centre/outside centre system?

 

[Suitman]

sharpie or burt: where's hindy?

I thought Pricey would be a shoe in for this event.

Suity

it tells you something when you consider who's missing

 

[Gronk]

Well I know why Brett Kenny is not on the list.

"What would you do if you were a player? You wouldn't want to go there," Kenny said.

Rock solid Bert.

This is a good opportunity for us to get more involved with the club.

Surely we can come up with better questions than asking say Mick Vella if he has tried Ashley and Martin.

This is also an opportunity that some people here complain about that the club doesn't do enough for its members. Well here is a good opportunity for us to get interactive.

 

[Twizzle]

much better

i would ask Mick Cronin what he thinks of the Cherry Evans backflip as according to legend he once made a deal and agreed with a handshake no contract needed

Good question.

 

[Eelogical]

No questions for Neville Glover yet?

 

[Eelementary]

Not really footy related per se, but I'd love to ask Micky Vella how his health is after his battle with cancer.

 

[The Phelan Folly]

Id ask Mick Vella who won the competition he was in with Justin Morgan and some lower grader who i cant remember sometime in the late 90's....

Edit - oh cr@p - i thought sterlo was on the list - maybe ask these to Paul Mares So he gets asked something on the night and to Larissa - how can you not have sterlo price or Kenny and call it a legends night?



For sterlo - who once regarded Kenny as the most natural player he's played with - how would Brett Kenny go if he played for parra today? Would he be as successful? Competing against the monster athletes of today?

2nd one for him - what about himsel if he played today? How would he go against the likes of Johns, thurston?

Would jack Gibson be as stats and video focused if he was to coach today?

who's been the most successful halfback for parra Since his time? And the worse?

 

[oneguy]

For Steve edge - what is his take on the constant board fiasco that comes out in the press so regularly? What his reaction is to hear about all the salary cap breaches, and (frankly) ridiculous contract deals done recently?

 

[oneguy]

For nifty glover - where has life taken you since. Your retirement? I'd imagine you were also a full time worker as well as a 1st grade player. What is your take on today's full time rugby league player?

 

[oneguy]

For hindy - you deserved a premiership - what's parra got to do to get the next one? Foran seems a good signing. Arthur seems to be steering the guys in the right direction, what else is needed?

On a related note and one for Cayless as well - in hindsight what would you wished we changed in the 2001 or 2009 GF - that might have seen us premiers? (I will allow something about getting shoey onto the storm re salary cap before kickoff as an answer here)

Has watmough been a good signing?

Hindus view on Hayne has been documented. What's his view on Sandow?

 

[oneguy]

For Luke Burt - were you ever close to leaving the eels? What was your preferred playing position wing, centre or FB?? How did you feel in the lead up to the game where you played in the halves? Toughest player you had to defend against?

 

[oneguy]

For Steve sharp - would the teams he was playing with have looked different if the salary cap existed then! Is the salary cap working now? Why is it so complicated with marquee? TPA? 2nd tier? Why not just apply oa single cap figure?

 

[Stagger eel]

Some interesting questions coming from people who have never achieved anything in their lives to actual regular first grade footballers.

Grow the f**k up!

Well said..

 

[forward pass]

Agreed.

Larissa is asking a serious question, is asking for our help (as true passionate supporters), and everyone has to carry on like complete f**kwits. Seriously, how hard is it to be serious or if you can't help just stay out of the thread. Honestly.
