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.

This is what I have major problem with. Surely it is Dennis Burgess' job that if something comes up that required HBG approval he raises the need for approval and it is placed on the agenda for the next meeting, then he takes it back to the HBG board for approval or not. That is his job as...

Simpson and Johns at the legendary Pratten Park.

Blacktown hasn't been the feeder for Manly since 24.

Yes, another that has disappeared from our shelves.

Miss Morning Coffee and Royals, like many things that I enjoyed and are no longer available 😞
