    The Name BLUEBAGS - it's origin.

    Oh, and here's an ABC radio Canberra page on the subject: http://www.abc.net.au/canberra/stories/s1749791.htm

    The Name BLUEBAGS - it's origin.

    Is it possible no-one here is old enough (as I am) to remember the old "blue bags" that housewives used to put in their white wash? If I recall, I saw them still on sale about 10 years ago in a supermarket. The most common / popular brand was Reckitt's. Here's a page on them...

    If you build it he will come.

    Herb Narvo?

    Ahem, which match is Reunion Day this year? I might just happen to be back for it.

    Jets vs Parra

    Who freakin' Won!!!!!!!! Any news?

    Fan Day

    In order: BT's now with another outfit (Specific Freight?) and I hope to get to R & A Henson in the second half of the season. Last year all I saw was one trial from the hill and the last semi and GF at that soulless hole at Homebush.

    Fan Day

    Westy probably dropped out when they told him you can't chip and chase in touch. On an unrelated topic, I ran into Brett Taper up here in Shanghai a while back. Any Jets coming to SH should let me know they're on their way - I'll show you round this crazy old town (and I DO mean crazy).

    Hatricks in the Royal Blue

    (Completely irrelevant comment here) Yes, I did a while back - in the sense of walking up and down a big chunk of it - while wearing a Jets jersey. (Back to our scheduled program of "My Dad's a policeman, so ner" or whatever it is you folks are going on about)

    NSWRL forum screwed up?

    Thanks for your prompt reply.

    NSWRL forum screwed up?

    I've just looked at the NSWRL forum and can't see any posts newer than September last year. What gives? Earlier this morning I could see posts were showing with the current date. Maybe there's something iffy with my PC / browser or LU settings, but all the other forums seem to be up to date...

    Lions team to play the Jets

    Also, have a look at this: http://www.nswrl.com.au/pl/teams.php The Auckland entry is blank where it says "Colours:" and their logo graphic is missing (at least it won't download on my system (it links to a file titled "nologo.jpg"). Curious. Lastly, note the respective listed colours...

    Lions team to play the Jets

    Just as an aside, here's the graphic the NSWRL use to indicate the Auckland Lions on the NSWRL web site: And those colours, folks, are (predominantly) Yellow and a bit of blue. NOT Royal Blue and White. Very eels-esque, if you ask me. So my original conspiracy theory stands. As...

    Lions team to play the Jets

    Dougal, I'm not calling YOU scum, only the folks that demanded Australia's original club abandon their jersey or those who acquiesced to it. Whether it was the NSWRL, D. Fitzgerald of Parramatta (he'd be a prime contender, in my book) or worse still, Jets folk, whoever they may be, who went...

    Lions team to play the Jets

    Also note the seat colours at their ground (it was their home ground, right?). Gold with a bit of blue. Thanks a heap, D. Fitzgerald! Happy with the win, but feel the price was way too high.

    Lions team to play the Jets

    Hate doesn't even START to cover it. I'm absolutely disgusted. First the feckin' Bulldogs are allowed to nick our socks, then THIS outrage. I was able to find this pic of the current Auckland Lions jersey (Vs. Parra)...

    Lions team to play the Jets

    I'm hoping that was a joke. We didn't play in anything but the Royal Blue, did we? Did we???

    The 2007 Draw !!

    Thanks for that, CCHB. If I recall, my Mum had one of those in the Tupperware cabinet when I was a kid. I just didn't know it had a specific name. Here's hoping Frank's around to enjoy many more party snacks for a while yet. He's a true gent - yet another who I feel very privileged...

    A "Party Susan"? What's that? A more enengetic version of a Lazy Susan? Interesting idea...

    The 2007 Draw !!

    On their form in recent years, playing the Bears and the Maggies only once each could mean we miss out on a gift four points. True, the Bears have usually given us trouble at Nth Syd Oval, but I kind of figured this year we'd have the wood on 'em. It also makes the Frank Hyde (Shield? Cup...

    Raper, The Imposter

    F.Y.I.: He played first grade for Newtown for two seasons before he got bought up by St George. Be a bit gracious about an exceptional Newtown-made product you guys had the benefit of for ten seasons. Club Career Newtown 1957-1958 37 Games 10 Tries - 30pts St George 1959-1969 180 Games...
