Mate, l have the last model Falcon ute made, the FGX XR6 ........

The Saints badge is now faded, not unlike my thoughts on the club but l will stay true, to see the end of McGregor and his dismal era.

Long live the Saints!

You bloody beauty ! Now that is what I call a real workman’s ute OKB1 - it looks as if it has done a fair few miles buddy and has provided you with good service over the years .

Josh Addo-Carr wants return to Sydney with three NRL clubs in the hunt

Paul Crawley, The Daily Telegraph
January 17, 2020 7:41am

Josh Addo-Carr’s hopes of getting out of Melbourne this year are being hampered by the Storm’s reluctance release the star winger unless a rival club can offer up a similar quality player in return.

The Daily Telegraph understands the three clubs in the race for Addo-Carr are the Sydney Roosters, Canterbury and St George Illawarra.

The Storm have already agreed to release Addo-Carr for next year but behind the scenes a game is still being played out to get him to Sydney for the 2020 season.

Addo-Carr is going through a management dispute which is only making it more difficult for rival clubs to enter into any negotiations.

But the other issue is said to be the Storm’s so-called unreasonable demands if a player swap was to occur.

While the Storm are selling it as if they are in a position of power, the fact of the matter is that it is Addo-Carr who wants out on compassionate grounds.

But unless Melbourne lower the bar it is unlikely a trade will be done for this year.

The Storm are in a difficult position given they have already lost Will Chambers and Curtis Scott which has left them extremely skinny in the outside backs while both Addo-Carr and Suliasi Vunivalu will be on the move next year, unless of course Addo-Carr leaves early.

The Roosters are considered the favourites to get the star Test winger if a deal can be done.

Meanwhile, Adam Doueihi’s career at South Sydney remains in limbo following Latrell Mitchell’s arrival.

Wayne Bennett had another chat with Doueihi on Thursday and assured the 21-year-old he would not be pushed out of the club if he didn’t want to leave.

The trouble is if Doueihi stays his best hope of cracking an NRL spot will be as a utility off the bench.

While Wests Tigers have shown interest in signing Doueihi there is a push for the Rabbitohs to sweeten the deal by at least picking up some of his $500,000 salary for 2020.

At this point the Rabbitohs have no intention of paying any money to release Doueihi although that could change if Jai Arrow becomes available for this year.

Arrow’s situation at the Gold Coast hasn’t changed with the Titans still not budging on an early release, although that could also change if Gold Coast can find a suitable replacement.

The Daily Telegraph reported on Wednesday that star Cronulla prop Andrew Fifita had been tossed up as a possible replacement for Arrow.

Although both the Sharks and Titans have denied any knowledge of the Fifita speculation, rival clubs are aware that Cronulla has its own salary cap concerns.

And it would not surprise to see further Sharks players linked with rival clubs in the countdown to the season.

Yep out of the race of 3...we are in line for the bronze medal.
Mary will turn that into a positive on his resume how he was close to luring JAC as he considered being coached by him.

Souths are in the mix....I'd say between them and the Chooks...a lot needs to happen for the Rabbits to snare him but could happen. They have been monitoring since end of last season...

The best we could do is hire a private investigator to determine JAC’s movements and that of his wife place Dragons paraphernalia along his and her pathways, Have cars arbitrarily sit in front, behind, overtaking them with dragons logo’s on the plates, stickers etc. random people in dragons gear walk by him daily. Place ads with their preferred radio station with make believe products that have the word dragon, Flanno, Flanagan or saints in them. Pay off the DJ to play songs by the saints, Dragon etc and songs that have appropriate lyrics. Place a Sims metals skip bin across from his house and at the training grounds and any other subliminal messages that can be thought of, make him believe it is his destiny to pull on the red V.

4636F4B0-9237-4F8A-B216-B4193E65F5E4.jpeg I can recall back in the early 70’s when the Holden Torana GTR XU1 came on to the market , the power that little car had was enough to blow the big Ford G.T.H.O.’s right off the grid at Bathurst that year . So quick were they that the N.S.W. Police used them as pursuit vehicle's .

Police used minis once too.

They did gorilla, do you recall the ‘ 21st Squad ‘ that the police used on the weekends in Sydney’s hotspots ? They would travel to any pub or club that had a brawl in progress in their caravan of Mini’s and arrest any poor blighter that happened to look their way .

They didn’t exactly follow the rules of the law themselves, probably why they were so successful in stamping out violence and crime in those years .
