Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Don't the senior players come back later than the others

I remember each year, i read that on tct

Maybe by a week or two. They still do the vast majority of the off season. It goes for months.

It's very unlikely many senior players at most teams will be at training before January next season.

Or good luck. Merkins put shit on the Moses, RCG and Papali'i signings but they turned out pretty well. It all comes out in the wash.

Our shit stained beds since 1986 beg to differ! 36 full wash cycles!

And some teams will have a poor pre-season because of it. It's not every year you have players still playing in November. There will likely be some surprise underperformers next year.

Good old Clinton my first season I remember watching was 1999 as a kid

You’re lucky to not have had to experience 1998.

I know just young enough to avoid that match I don't remember it.

Was there for 2001 though.

Even though it wasn't a GF, 1998 was worse cause the celebrations were almost in full swing. 2001 was still shit too.

Throw in 1998 was against the Dogs I reckon that would have been a tough pill to swallow.

I don't know how Parra fans could have picked themselves up and gone to work the next day I am assuming that game was a Sunday arvo clash.

Sure was. I remember it like was yesterday. The wtf just happened factor was very high that evening.

 

[Wally21]

That’s a huge telling stat. Was he that much of a selfish, pig headed player that brought so much distraction?

I had a night on the beers with an ex first grader who played origin and for AUS for another club. He is now in the media. He told me that Hayne along with Corey Norman in 2018 were toxic for the club. Classic selfish players who saw themselves above the team

I was there. I took my pop and my sister to the game. She was off rugby league for years after that, the weak gutted merkin, and it was the last game my pop ever attended.

When I visit my mum i can still see the slight dint in the wall from the remote I hurled when Halligan kicked that goal from the sideline.

Do you tell her the remote was just chasing the collision.

I front loaded my effort areas with the throw.

That was tough, was listening on the radio while watching the local GF….up 18 to 2, organising where we were watching the GF….go to the GF presentation for 5 mins…come back and it’s extra time……devastated ..,

Interestingly later that night went to the pub and James Reyne was on for a surprise gig….

Don't be so reckless next time, mate.

Oh geez, rubbing salt into the wound....

Oh no not you again.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Do you blame it on the Reyne?

 

[strider]

I think the senior players would have the most influence on the success of a pre-season. These are the merkins who drive standards and give the coaching staff the feedback they need to manage the program.

Who could forget the pre-seasons of little jake running laps around fat jarryd
