Grothe

[The Colonel]

I loved how sterlo described two years at the roosters as being 'in the wilderness'

What about Goulds reaction........ "first time I have ever heard Bondi Junction referred to as the wilderness" :lol: :lol:

 

[Eelectrica]

There must have been alot of Eels fans at the game. On TV it sounded like there were more people cheering when the Eels scored than when the Broncos did.

Honestly every time Parra plays Brisbane in Brisbane there are always plenty of eels supporters there. Yesterday was no different. Most of the Broncos "Cheering" comes curtesy of the loud speaker!

 

[Parraren]

Just In - Grothe not charged

You little ripper!

 

[mickdo]

Wow... maybe the jokediciary are actually starting to get it right??? 8)

 

[The Engineers Room]

Thank you very much now my Saturday night will be more worth it to see him play.

 

[The Godfather]

Just like his old man charging down that touchline. The memories are back.

All we gotta do now is ask young Guru to grow a beard and wear his hair long.

brought tears to my eyes watching him leave our old mate Stu Kelly for dead.

I wonder if the media are going to criticise the EELS for letting Stu Kelly go to another club, I mean, it was a very valiant effort trying to run down Grothe. :lol: :lol: :lol:

We were crazy to let some of these players go and in some cases sign BETTER players, will the media tear us apart for that?

 

[The Godfather]

Yeah good point...

All the supporters of the Parra rejects that went to Manly and the Tigers are a bit quiet this week...

 

[Pazza]

What a great player

Maybe Stu Kelly would have had some luck if he was chasing down Jason Moodie ;-)

 

[parra-all-the-way]

yes bring on saturday..

It was good to hear Sterlo getting a bit choked up. He's got blue and gold blood just like the rest of us. When Phil Gould said "..he's home" commenting on Grothe getting to the tryline Sterlo said "home in more ways than one". So true

Maybe there's hope for Sterlo still.

God im glad Guru Jr is back. He was the best player for parra against the bulldogs before he got injured, and his try on sunday was special. I just love his running style. It isnt very pretty. Looks like every stride is a painful one that he's determined put up with and just keep pumping those legs. In a weird way, it's a thing of beauty. He'll have a big year for sure.

 

[Hurriflatch]

yeah, that was one of the better games by Sterlo

Now a lot of people say that he comes across as Anti-Parra because he doesn't want to seem to biased towards Parra a la VAutin and Manly (well at least as it was before Fatty got punted from the MKanly board).

but at times he is so anti-Parra it is even worse then if he was too much pro-Parra.

Yesterday was the 1st time he has even been close to even handed

How much was it like his dads style. He starts off crouched over, like an athletics sprinter, then as he gets into stride, his back streches out and he stands bolt upright, and the legs look like they are going too fast for the rest of him!!

fantastic to watch, and just amazingly similar to his old man !!

 

[The Engineers Room]

Didn't go through the whole side twice first though.

 

[Avenger]

How fast is he??? He surprised me, I think he i faster than Burt. Now lets sign him beyond this year as we only gave him a one year contract.

 

[Hurriflatch]

Well Dykesy said in a pre-season interview that Guru was ther fastest in the club now.

In the same article he said that Peek was the fittest forward in the club

wonder if Dykes was right on both?

 

[Paranoid]

A couple of weeks before the season kicked off there was a article in the paper(tele) about the speedsters in the NRL. Burt was listed as one of the fastest (running 100m in 11.0s). Grothe didn't even get a mention :!: :?:

Interested to see if anyone know's his 100m time ?

 

[yy_cheng]

I reckon besides Pace, he runs with alot of heart as well.

I remember watching Parra in the 80s on TV when you would see an opposition player break our line on one side of the field and was destined to score.

Then you would see Grothe coming across from the other side of the field and tackle him. This didn't just happen once, it happened many a time.

I'm sure young Eric would do the same.

Aaaaah, Old memories.

BTW, did Pricey have a son??

 

[The Engineers Room]

I believe he did but don't quote me. We could have had Crusher Cleal's son too but we all know what happened there.
