[Someone]

Because im bored brah.

Can anyone tell me the 'pet' play Luke Burt had a couple of seasons ago?

fairly basic but lets see if you guys get it.

Hints: Doesnt do it anymore, and only did it a couple of times anyway.

 

[codger]

short drop out

 

[Craig Johnston]

rollover? play dead?

 

[Someone]

Wow. thought that would have atleast lasted 10 minutes...

 

[codger]

was my favourite play. every time Burty takes a drop out i am still waiting for it. He had it totally mastered then he got injured in the Newcastle ?? game where he hit the post while playing FB( and in career best form I must say) and we havnt seen it since, that many many beers will let me remember anyway.

Please don't tell me your name is Joel Johnston? Suppose it would be worse if it was John Johnston

yep it is.

Well here's some trivia for you. The formation of Johnston, being John and son or tun (town), is Norse in heritage to signify you are John's son or from John's town. However John is a Hebrew name, where it means God is kind or something like that. Now Joel is again Hebrew and means Jehovah is God. Therefore your name means Jehovah is God, God is kind and I am God's son. So me mocking your name was a bit hasty seeing how when translated into Hebrew it actually has a good flow to it. Especially seeing how my name translates in Latin and Old English to rushing waters, oak valley

The Norse names I thought was pretty common knowledge. They only had their given names then the sons to show pride in their heritage would always state who their father was by saying Magnusson or Eriksson.

In Hebrew Jo or Yo means Jehovah/Yahweh/Jesus and El means God. And I picked up the meaning of John somewhere because it is the most common name in the western world.

If only I could remember important stuff as well as I remember useless pieces of trivia

Heres one from a while ago:
Parramatta played Balmain in Perth in 1989.
Name the Eels player sent off in Parramattas win.

Hint. He had a brother who was playing at the same time.

Here's some trivia. One of our current Parramatta squad made his first grade debut against a club whose home ground at the time shared his surname. The young uns' probably won't know this at least.

Sorry to disappoint you , but I think you are referring to Nathan Hindmarsh playing against Adelaide at Hindmarsh Stadium . The match was ,in fact played at Pioneer Oval Parkes.

BTW , this was the game where Brett Atkins was tackled heavily , and got up and played the ball in the complete opposite direction , ie back towards the Balmain marker.
