Peach on the crystal set.

[carcharias]

That be the radio ,
He was on 2KY this morn' . He was very upbeat and they asked him about his role this year .
He said Raper has told him to play like he used to , by chiming in with merrit and Rieck like he did with Matty Rogers and Richie Barnett.
He was very confident and excited about this year which was evident in his voice .
They asked him about his relationship with Ando and he kind of no-commented but did say that some coaches over coach the team , to a point where the forwards are standing there worrying about where they are meant to be standing in every single play.
It was great to hear him so happy and right at the end of the interview he made a point of thanking everyone for sticking by him.
I think from what I heard that we will see the great man have some fun again.

 

[Jimbo]

Excellent

 

[wittyfan]

:? Hmmm, the no comment about Anderson is quite interesting, I wonder how much support he did actually have from the players?

 

[King of the Hill]

Peachey gave his all for Anderson.

He even played charades by claiming he no longer wanted to be captain.

I think the writing was on the wall that Ando wanted Peachey gone but if you read between the lines Sludge probably put his foot down so Ando stripped him of the captaincy to rinse him of 'losing culture'.

I think Peach will have an outstanding year, provided he stays injury free.

 

[Sharkie73]

Sounds like we have the old Peach back SWEEEEEEEEEET

 

[Macca]

State of Origin is definatley on the agenda for the Peach.

 

[King of the Hill]

I hope not
I'd prefer to see him just play for us

SOO is a good spectacle
But I'd give up a NSW series win for just a single premiership game victory for the Sharks, in an instant

That's where my loyalties are

 

[Macca]

I want him to play it for himself, he doesn't owe us anything.

My golfing buddy and I were talking about this ourselves yesterday..
I reckon the SOO has lost its appeal as the us v's them novelty,and its a huge distruption to the season for the players.

I'm over it!

 

[Jimbo]

Yep. These days its just QLD vs the Roosters...

 

[King of the Hill]

Origin before 2000 was great

Now its lost its appeal
I cant put my finger on why that is

But its just not the same any more

 

[incredible_holc]

its the new fields i tell you, gone are the days of a good mudbath and the security has done it aswell i.e. no more hostile crowd

 

[cheese]

There's no element of surprise in selections either these days. The derserving underdog never gets a run, its always the boring old packhorse that takes his place.

Ive been pizzed off with it ever since robbie ross stole peach's jumper year after year

 

[King of the Hill]

Boring old undeserving Roosters like Luke Ricketson

 

[wittyfan]

And Matt Gidley, whose defence is truly awful.

 

[Special K]

Piss Gould off.

I still love S.O.O! Game 1 was so bloody awesome. Ricketson is gone from S.O.O now thank god. Go hilder get that number 13.

 

[Macca]

I love SOO. I look forward to it every year, it is definatley one of the highlights of the season. If we had more Sharks in it you will definatley be excited.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

The problem with Origin is that there is nobody to hate.
Gordie has done his best to upset the roaches, but he is just too likeable.
Wally is/was/still is a total c&*t. He was perfect for origin & it has not been the same for cockroach supporters ever since.
FFS we hate the NSW coach more than anybody from the QLD camp. Thats farged.
We need a new reason to hate QLD. Like Gould.

BTW. QLDers don't think the same. They hate everything about NSW, so they are always enthusiastic.

 

[Macca]

I hate em, I will always hate em. I don't need any reason other than those drawn series that they claimed as a win. I hate Hodges enough too. Carroll, hate him too.

 

[Booyah]

I hate em, I will always hate em. I don't need any reason other than those drawn series that they claimed as a win. I hate Hodges enough too. Carroll, hate him too.

Damn straight. I've always hated them because of their 'Good old Queensland battler' image. What a crock of shit.

If Hodges makes the team that'll be an extra reason to hate 'em. I hope he gets belted again this year. That'd make my year.
