Agree to all three , DUX water heaters sponsored the team in the finals of 1977
The next year Famous Grouse Whiskey took over , until and including 1980

yeah, given that you posted this at about 2am this morning it may be worth your while to try and umm!! sleep ;-)..

shhhh cricket was on, great match between the Saffers and the Poms (half of whom are also Saffers ...) I slept after stumps
I am sure you would agree that cricket trumps sleep...

I'll give my turn to Captain BF, he got the most answers first (thank goodness for Retro jerseys), and I'm no good at coming up with Questions

 

[parra pete]

You seem to have good answers to most questions....;-)

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Ive got one, probably a bit easy one.

Name the player, who played one first grade game for Parramatta, missed 2 seasons of first grade and then later won a premiership with his next club and represented his state.

 

[Parra Guru]

Captain BF's turn ;-)

 

[Captain BF]

Captain BF's turn ;-)

Thanks Parra Guru. Should they be easy or hard? Or just plain trivial?

 

[Hallatia]

Thanks Parra Guru. Should they be easy or hard? Or just plain trivial?

do one of each

 

[Captain BF]

Hard.

1) Who was our last Dual International?
2) How many of our rookie of the year award winners have won premierships? With us or with other Australian 1st grade NRL/ARL/NSWRL teams?
3) Who was our water runner/sprint trainer in 1986? ( Clue: He was a real jumper)

 

[Captain BF]

Easy
1) Who is Parra's top pointscorer?
2) Who has played the most 1st grade games of our current squad?
3) Who has Captained Parra to the most wins?

 

[Captain BF]

Trivial.
1) Which ex-Parra 2nd rower gave me my first speeding ticket?
2) Which ex-Parra 2nd rower absolutely creamed me in my 1st game back to Rugby League after not playing for 5 or so years. Made me rethink playing...
3) Which ex-Parra 2nd rower has sold me (too) many jerseys over the years?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

1) Timana Tahu
2) Only one I can think of was Andrew Ryan, Bulldogs 2004. Depends how far the Rookie of the year was presented.
