Trying to write the rules on user names again and believing you know all and why someone has a particular user name, it's just a user name, it may have a reason, story or history behind it, it may be all they could think off at a time, it's irrelevant, so I will say it again as you didn't...

Stop with the word salad, you've provided years of Magpies insecurity, bull and fallacies, your mate loathes to even say he word 'Ttttttttttttt', I'm sure it pains him on the very few occasions he's had to utter that dirty word. And for the record the NRL provides most of the $$$ that keeps the...

Well that was a long winded word salad.

It’s just a username and is irrelevant to 2025, you don't know the story behind my user name so don't perceive to know and certainly don't use it to score brownie points. And I'm not the one who does a Fonze 'can't say wrong' when it comes to using the name Wests Tigers.

Hey, that's almost the line I've been using about Keith Richards for the past 20 years.

Probably not, live in regional Victoria these days.

"cell phone" and "phone cell reception" When did this become the USA? 😲

A bit late with this news, Fiona MacDonald died 3 October 2024.

The Goldstar sponsorship as worn by Des in that photo was that companies early entry into the Australian market, now known as LG.

Took a closer look at the photo, noticed it has the new emblem which debuted in 1978, the Victa sponsorship also began in 78 but from memory wasn't until a few rounds into the season, so this could be either an early Amco Cup game or possibly the pre-season night competition (called the Wills...

Looks around 75 or 76, think that's Geoff Foster on the left, John Dorahy and Dallas, not sure who is on the right.

Just looked it up, that game was round 13 on 15th June 1975, game was in June so dispels the theory that it was only used in warm weather.

First time I remember was maybe in 1975 or 76, remember the great photo in Big League magazine of John Dorahy stepping in the weekend results section, we beat Manly 18-0 at Lidcombe Oval. I liked the white, probably one of the first clubs to have a regular alternate strip.
