I will take the Dodge (SRT Challenger) Demon over any shitty Aussie holden or ford

That's what too much smack will do to you . . . Yank cars might be a match for Aussie screw-togethers but are rubbish in the real world

Your opinion will change when you drive one

How good was that, finally a civilised press conference where the tone of the questions asked can be matched to the answers given, all it took was a few extra microphones. Other than the eyes in your head there's no better way to find out what transpired on game day

Without editing or guessing the questions there's no need for Kent, Buzz or any other Wankerland hierarchy to 'explain' what went on, RL is not that f**king technical. It remains to be seen if press conferences from now on will be the same, maybe not, will the NRL think it necessary to appease the media by treating supporters as imbeciles that need 'guidance', maybe as part of the pay deal

Will NRL 360 now become obsolete, can the game start without the analytics and finish without a postmortem, can footy shows just stick to comedy . . . of course LU must remain sacrosanct

 

[POPEYE]

Time to get serious if only for a moment. Pommy supporters deserve a mention, probably because back home they can easily get to any game, they have grown up seeing RL not as just a game but a community occasion . . . such enthusiasm is way beyond anything Australia produces

Even if I did have a men's shed, why would a bloke my age risk his health any more than necessary, the joviality of it could never match a day out in England. The footy mightn't be as technically great as it is here but the Poms enjoy what they have in ways we can't imagine, Albert Kelly heroics are more than enough for the price of admittance

Wish I had the same enthusiasm, I've got to spend a week in Sydney and I'd choose instead to be strapped to a chair in front of reality tv for that duration, at least I'll be back in Mudgee for the Charity Shield . . . probably won't actually go to the game, too much effort for little difference

You need to eat your spinach.

80 minutes of football generates 800 minutes of blab from the talking heads.
The late and great Richie Benaud once advised a younger colleague that he shouldn't say anything that doesn't add to the commentary in some way. If only.

I'd like to think so, pirates have been a fascination of mine since early childhood

That'll do me folks, I've made a promise that watching every game of RL is enough, having other interests to pursue there'll be no more of the time I have left spent reading/writing/commenting on the game

May everyone on LU without exception have a healthy happy life . . . so it is with just two clicks I'm gone, a pest no more

 

[Silent Knight]

You never were a pest Pops, the LU community will be poorer now because of your absence. I wish you all the best and may you find happiness in your future endeavours.

 

[T-Boon]

No way!
I have been reading this thread for a year. I don't agree with every opinion obviously but it is quality stuff and fun banter.
All the best.

Sad to see you gone, old mate.
Although if you are really gone, you aren't reading this, are you.
So it doesn't really matter.

I miss Popeye.
Can’t believe it has been three years.

Me too, his posts were quality entertainment. I hope he is okay.

Pops, you are a King
