Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Alway's wondered how Mark Ella would have gone in League if he took the Chooks money.

Had the misfortune of playing a touch game against the ella brothers and zip zip man and Lloyd Walker, man did we get flogged.

It's thanks to the GSM blend (Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre). Any vineyard from The McLaren Vale or Barossa Valley is World Class and in moderation, will keep you young & vigorous and cure most Pandemics before they escape from a lab in Wuhan or Ukraine. 🍷🍷🍷

I have been a red wine drinker for over 50 years (Shiraz and Pinot Noir my 2 favourite varieties),GSM is down towards the bottom of the list as the Mourvedre in the blend just does not suit my taste.We all have different tastes and that is the way it should be

Played one or two games with Mark and the brothers! Learnt more about support play in those 160 minutes than in my whole career. Mark was the first person to suggest the 360 to me (1978) which is now the hit and spin.

Very warm at Caves Beach today

Yes it was and a nasty light show afterwards had to turn off my computer early for fear of a surge.

Thanks @Snidest 0, I appreciate the clip - I think I learned about it at school, but reading about it now, didn't realise how bad it was. 😔

Beautiful spot. Likewise Catherine Hill Bay.

Yes it is, lot of new housing going up at Catho now though preferred it the way it was.

Suggest you try the range from Curtis Family Wines in McLaren Vale. I know the owner personally from dealings with him over the years. Excellent wine... and port.

I'm sure the champion Arthur Summons must be in the mix. Not sure how you missed him Jedi!

yes bad miss

I don't think that's the case. The excitement with Gardiner originates from his performances with our reserve grade squad and the feedback players had about him. His intelligence and communication was very highly regarded. The fact he has now spent time at Penrith is the icing on the cake.

100 percent I don't know too much about him, though what I heard was he was able to easily form a rapport with the players who generally wanted to bleed for the guy, plus the fact there were a few people at the time with us that touted him as our next first grade coach, they were raving about his ability to teach the game simply for the young guys to understand, they just said he understood league and has an amazing football brain. Really disappointing we only gave him 1 game. In that one game though he had the guys playing good footy, just can't remember if we won or just lost but I'm pretty sure he had us in the fight.

Interesting. It was expected the Japanese would land on Bondi Beach. You could buy a block of flats there for next to nothing at the time.

It was that loss in Townsville after the siren that the ref cost us!

Can understand at the time why you wouldn't want to live there.

There's an event that would only happen at Wests Tigers.

It is funny though how other clubs have players down with ACL injuries in the pre-season but we have a couple of minor injuries and it's "chaos".

Surely appendix injuries would only be things like appendicitis. Which would have nothing to do with the camp.

If so, it would be keyhole surgery with hopefully a pretty quick turnaround time.

Port as good as Galway Pipe.

Just googled it if worst case and the appendix ruptured up to 6 weeks recovery.
