Hallatia, did you want to ask your q's now? My cryptic brain has gone awol today, so I think I'll skip trying to answer pete's ones for the time being...
yeah I'm ready. I am not sure how hard or easy my questions are, but they are a bit of trivia

1. who was the first player for the Eels to lose to another team? What team did we lose him to and what year?
2. who has refereed the most Eels matches?
3. name the 4 Parra players to have 100% goal kicking strike rate in the NRL?

I like the really trivial statisticalish stuff...

The answer to the question could be anyone...

I mean our very first player loss to another team - as in the first guy since our induction to move from us to another team

pete, I need to get some work done this morning and can't afford to get side tracked. If I get started I can't stop thinking about the answers. ;-)

:lol: Been there done that. It's a bastard isn't it. Just back home from three (or four) days in Albury. Visit the quack and help my oldest daughter, husband and two grandkids pack up. They are flying to Canada on Monday on a 12month Teacher Exchange program....Going from 44 Celcius, to minus 10 Brrrr. They swap houses with the Canadian couple who are to take their positions. Great experience for them and the grandkids (10 and 6), but me and Mum will miss them..
The Canadians teachers arrived this morning and spent the arvo in the Pool at my daughters home. They reckon, aaahh that the life...

got to think about them 1 at a time but the first 1 is definitely Ken Hay!!

No it is definitely not....but I like the way you're thinking.(Incidentally Ken Hey's brother Vince coached Hay in 1970)

(Tip part of 1977 Grand Final squad....:lol:....think about it...its easy if you break it up 3 seperate clues in the question)
