SOO, Jake, DCE, general discussion

[Dee Why Eagle]

It will be interesting to see how DCE performs as Munster was the more dominant in the other games.

Hope he steps up... and if so it will do his confidence the world of good & will hopefully continue into the NRL

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Well now it's all on DCE's shoulders for the moroons. Let's see what he's made of when it all rests on him in a big game. We've seen the results for us over the last decade. Big fat 0.

Big O wasn't that fat, are you thinking of Elvis?

Big shoes to fill with Munster out. Who will Queensland turn to for the player that whines and cries all game and kicks and knees opponents with impunity?

Big shoes to fill with Munster out. Who will Queensland turn to for the player that whines and cries all game and kicks and knees opponents with impunity?

The resilient Maroon spirit is not filled by the size of any shoes feathered friend

But only by the size of the spirited Maroon Queenslander heart that wears the proud Maroon jersey

The Queensland Cauldron is waiting for the sacrificial lambs

May God have mercy on The NSW Blue sheep to the Slaughter

Can you believe that the Sydney Morning Herald missed the story about Munster and the other SOO bloke getting covid and needing to be replaced for Wednesday night's decider? This 'morning' newspaper has a deadline of around 7pm the previous evening, which also explains why its cricket scoreboard had Australia at 2-173 when it finished at 5-298 (at 9.30pm EST). It's so sad such a distinguished newspaper (I used to work for its former sister paper) is so far behind in news gathering.
My wife insists on buying it on a Saturday solely for the quiz in the Good Weekend. At $4.60 it is robbery, but you know about "happy wife . . .
People complain about the Telecrap but it has the resources to function as a morning newspaper should.

I detest Rupert Murdoch and all he stands for, and the Telegraph has his grubby fingerprints all over it. But there's no denying that the Telegraph knows its audience and it performs the traditional functions of a newspaper much better than the Herald does. The Herald is pretty much a glorified extension of the Channel Nine publicity department these days, poorly resourced and poorly put together. The Fairfax glory days are long gone.

Saw this one come through on socialist media-
JAKE TRBOJEVIC: "I was 17 when I signed my first deal with Manly. I went and bought myself some X-Blade boots."

Munster's absence will put the pressure and spotlight on DCE. If Hunt and DCE don't work together the Maroons will get pumped.

Munster has carried that side for the last 3 series. DCE and Dearden are behind the 8 ball. Big chance for DCE to prove he can deliver in a marquee game without someone to hold his hand.

Let us not Discredit the Great DCE for his own contribution as captain and leader of the Maroon series wins .

DCE has always risen above adversity and proved his critics wrong
and this is another opportunity to show his greatness

So when the Blues do the same job, as in Perth, to the moroons at scumcorp , will DCE finally be seen as the most over rated player of all time ? Or will he escape the media examination that Des's lack of success in recent years has escaped.

 

[Mal Cochrane]

time will tell, time for DCE to really step up and be counted

Just reading yours and @Ron E. Gibbs talk about newspapers past and present. Took me way back to when I was a paper-boy. I loved that job. Loved the smell of newly printed newspapers and on Wednesday/Thursdays the magazines (womans day, new idea, womans weekly and of course my favourite Rugby League Week).
I stuck with it, even when I had another casual job at KFC.
The best part was the relationships I built up over the years with my customers. Just the look on their faces when they heard my whistle and they’d come running/shuffling out like it was Christmas Day. And for some of the oldies, I realised sadly that me bringing their paper or mag was indeed the highlight of their day. Many a time I would be last one back to the newsagent, and the owner would be pissed off because he knew I’d been jabbering. It came to a head one day, and he said if you want to talk to Mr or Mrs So and so, do it on your time. So I did as often as I could.
Some of them who were crossword/puzzle junkies would show me a completed massive crossword they’d completed in the cpl hours since I’d delivered it.
Those memories are of a much simpler time in life.I miss those times.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Nice piece of nostalgia there @wombatgc . I too was a paperboy. Reminds me just how much has changed in the world!

The blues would of pumped them even if Munster played, I’m thinking it might be a mega pumping now!
