The Eels off season trivia thread.

[Oscarman]

Did you know that Peter Peters came to Sydney and played with Parra before moving on to Manly.

Yes, but works/worked for Manly and sprouts their BS so he's a wanker.

 

[jono]

1. Brian Hambly, Graeme Atkins, Neville Glover, Stuart Kelly, Peter Wynn, Jason Bell, Neil Hunt
2. Both got caught in traffic on the way to the big matches in the final. Cronin had a police escort from Gerringong while Sterlo had a very hairly ride on a motor bike.
3. That Parramatta wouldn't in the Grand Final with Stevens and O'Reilly in the team and if they did he would walk from Wollongong to Sydney in a pair of thongs.

I'm gonna be so bloody pedantic you're gonna ban me from this game!

Peter Peters said that if Parramatta WON the grand final with stumpy and bear in the side , he'd walk from Wollongong to Palm Beach in a pair of thongs.
Which he did , with Greg Hartley and raised money for charity. There was an item in th RLW tha year after they;'d done it.

To debate Parra Pete , my question read , "mishap in a finals game" and of course , Sterlo got caught on Victoria Rd on his way to the 1980 Tooth Cup Final. Crow got dtuck in fog on the tollway from the gong in 1986 and as noted , got a police escort to the SCG , arriving some 45 minutes before kick-off.
Okay Colonel , all yours.............

3. What was the bet Peter Peters made in 1981?
