I think all are far from done unfortunately

Any 'adult' doing that amazes me and yet so many do.

Time waits for no man, as the saying goes.

I am 56yo now and I follow one player, well former player in Keith Galloway on Twitter as we share social concerns and some interests, so chat occasionally.

As for relative youngsters, they have grown up in a different era, so we should not expect them to be similar, particularly those mid to late twenties having grown up with a smart phone in their hand as teenagers. They may communicate in a manner we find foreign, but change is a constant and would not have imagined myself writing on here much more than a decade ago.

what is the Sauce doing

Looking after his kids and playing a bit of beach rugby with Lote a little while back.

Wow that's surprising. I thought it was a masterstroke to have him in the backrow. He has a fantastic hit up in him, early offload and a good defender. He's a horrible centre because he completely starves his winger and can't put the winger away to save his life.

I'd look at him for the edge or a No.16 position. He's better than Garner IMO.

Aitken also played second row and lock forward in the juniors. As a second row forward who can fill in at centre when required, he could have an admirer in Mr Sheens.

So the Eels pull offer for Bird and now put focus on B Nikora so that was good while it lasted.

Any updates on Pele, Nikora etc...?

 

[cochise]

He's a trainer at the club - pretty sure he never took up the ambassador role they offered him, as part of the deal when he went to Souths?

It was in the major papers at the time but this is the only place I can find the story now.

Farah to return as Tigers specialist coach

Robbie Farah will make his return to Wests Tigers next year as a specialist coach as part of...

[cochise]

I was told by Cochise maybe as far back as 12 months ago, so I dont remember if it was on here or a pm, that Farah had taken up his Ambassador role and it was announced in some obscure regional NSW newspaper.

It was also in one of the major papers but my google attempts only find it in a local lol

Edit Found it

Guess who’s back: Robbie Farah returns to take up Wests Tigers role

The thing with Xerri is that he only played a handful of games and it makes you wonder if he was only as good as he was due to being on the juice.

He was good…
All through juniors into ressies.

Also passed a pot load of drug tests either side of the one he failed…

Don’t know if he can get back after so long out - but he’s quick enough, athletic enough… if he’s still got the hands and got it between the ears he’s certainly worth looking at.

There’ll be a fair old line up for him though

SARMS are piss weak..

It would hardly do that much to his body.

I know Keith Galloway works at Port Botany wharf.

I would go for him. He is only young and made a very bad mistake but we all have in life and he deserves another chance. Was always a gun through juniors.
Just wonder if he will turn out like Rodney Howe did after being caught. Howe was the best prop in the game, then was a pillow when he went clean

I’d be careful going after players that have had years out of the game - Hopoate, Sandor Earl, and even Tim Simone all came back after time out and were not the same player when they returned.

The difference is he’s 22 - they all come back at what would be considered the back end of what would be a career…
