Ricky Stuart quits Parramatta Eels for Canberra Raiders job

Can't say I know what that feels like. As a young banger I was a f**king incredible handball player. No-one could handle my 'apple turnover'.

I found that when other kids were focussing on their handball game, they were exceedingly easy to hit with pieces of fruit, soft boiled eggs etc. Got me and my mates in a degree of trouble, but was quite good fun.

I'm guessing the kids you were throwing fruit/soft boiled eggs at grew up to be Barts.

Lucky we didnt go to school together. My lethal right hand built up from years of handball would have easily swatted away some wooftery lob of fruit and/or boiled eggs.

Yep paul said Ricky is only thinking of his daughter in determining whether to go to the raiders - his and his wife's family are all in Canberra.

Quite probably. But we had other tactics designed for the more nimble of our victims. Usually we'd lob a dummy piece of fruit/tennis ball at the more skilled victim, and while he was carefully observing its parabola 5 or 6 others projectile would be pegged at him. It basically came down to the fact that one of my mates was a thug (not a physically large thug) and found this an effective way of starting fights. It all ended it tears when someone took down the deputy principal with a Pink Lady. Ahh....those were the days.

Gotta say, I've thought that Bart has raised some good points in the past but in recent times he seems to have been too focused on proving petty points. Shame really...
