shane blackett for first grade

[murraymob]

Blacket has made the starting line up for the game against the heels.The good thing it gives him a chance to shine in front of the next first grade coach of penrith

If you can crack a hundred on this thread murraymob by the 23rd then you may be potentially up for Legendary status at the Kings and Legends of LU awards.

You will have to work hard though.
If you reach 200 perhaps you are a very good chance at retaining your crown.

I didn't know you could get wireless internet at St John Of God?

If you rang me occasionally other than only when you need something you would be aware my residential phase is complete.

I must say the therapy sessions were a complete success and I strongly recommend them to anyone who may suffer from anxiety or depression as a result of supporting the Panthers.

This season I am going to enjoy my football regardless of the outcome. team selections, losing all home games and most of all enduring Fibroman abusing the on field two referees.

 

[murraymob]

2 referees could be a blessing in disguise as fibro will not be sure what ref to bag.It may be a case of him saying hey you on the left can you borrow your mates eyes

 

[Pantha-Boy]

Fibro spends a majority of the time in the beer line.
he may not have another time to even watch the game.

 

[murraymob]

will fibro still be in the beer line when Blacket runs on for his first game in first grade.Come on fibro just order 3 at a time saves lining up

 

[Pantha-Boy]

Im sure fibro would want to see his idol Shane Blackett.

 

[Kilkenny]

Rumour has it Fibromans invitation to Shane Blackett's 21st birthday bash was lost by Aust Post. I have it on good authority from my contacts within the club Fibroman gate crashed the party and made a total galoot of himself. You may be able to get away with nudie runs at a mixed function with guy and girls, but not at an all male function. Fibro, the nudie run was not a good call and may I say your credibility within the playing ranks and your friendship with Shane Blackett has been severely compromised.

 

[murraymob]

would fibro have done the nudie run if jarrod sammit was there.

 

[Pantha-Boy]

Perhaps so.

 

[murraymob]

Blacket along with orton started off the bench and by all reports both had avstriong game.My hope is elliott keeps a hand i the side selection at windsor as there is no point in picking these old players Our club needs the Blackets and ortons playing and getting match experience

 

[Pantha-Boy]

Well i was their at the game last night and Blackett wasnt overally special, but yes he was strong in defence and took the ball up hard.

I dont think orton went to bad but he could have been better.
Romelo was definetely the standout once again.

 

[Fibroman]

Orton is definately backrow material, and Blackett has bulked up and takes 2 or 3 opposition players to bring him down. He does, however need to buy bigger shorts. He is clearly wearing his sister's t-shirts on the social set and pantha boy's footy shorts out on the field.

 

[murraymob]

you are right fibro Orton played most of the trial at lock .He said he enjoyed it there and thought he went ok. he looks like he will be in the starting line up for next weeks trial on Wednesday against Chester hill

 

[Kilkenny]

The real test for the likes of Blackett and Orton will surely come once the season proper starts. Once the fringe players drop out of the main 17 back to Windsor it will be interesting whether they even make the Windsor side.

 

[Fibroman]

Blackett and Orton are both promising young players. Hopefully they get a fair crack at it.

 

[murraymob]

blacket currently has a broken nose .Rumour has it he was at the bar with fibro.There was 1 beer left on the table.Fibro in all is glory let loose with a elbow dived grabbed an sculled the beer before he hit the ground

that wouldn't surprise me if Blackett is injured again, he is no chance of playing 1st grade whilst always coming back from injuries

 

[Kilkenny]

Here's hoping Shane Blackett can enjoy an injury free season and show what he is capable off. The whole concept of the Under 20's with the reserves (as in NSW Cup) relegated almost to also ran status conspires against promising young forwards. Very, very few promising young front rowers ever really hit there straps on make there mark in the top grade until the age of 23.

In my opinion the Jersey Flegg Under 19's should have been retained and the Toyota Cup should have been an under 21 competition with dispensation to include a number of over age players to accomodate developing forwards to ensure they are not lost from the game at such as young age.

I recognise the current financial issues no longer make my suggestions financially viable but I am in no doubt it is to the overall detriment to the game.

I believed the way forward should have been for the second tier competition to be the NSW Cup. They should have made it Under 23's but to allow a certain number of over age players from the NRL top 25 squad to play, a maximum of six for example. I enjoyed the Toyota Cup last season, dont get me wrong but I would prefer to watch the player's from the NRL squad in the game prior to the main fixture in the lead up game to the main game in a side which would still be largely made up of young junior talent. Let's face it, the Toyota Cup will have 300 or so youngsters running around this season and it will be enjoyable to watch but to many are lost to the game at too young an age. Jamie Theoharus and Brendon Hlad are two cases in point. They like many other youngsters deserved better. I am not saying they would necessarily have made the NRL but with a better system should have been given the opportunity.

 

[Fibroman]

I believe we need to go back to 3 games of footy, with less down time between the games.

U/19's
U/23's
First Grade.

That would drag more fans back to the ground.

Also, make it byo grog and they can save of staff costs and be exempt from RSA reponsibilities.
