Well Ella I noticed you are in Logan........the Sunny Coast has it all over Logan in terms of scenery! I don't take changes like this lightly.

Re: Which players may be the surprise packets in 2010?

The two players whom I expect to have a significant impact on first grade calculations next year: - Shaun Fensom: With fringe backrowers in Plum / Turner departing the club, I think Fensom will have a significant role to play in 2010 and with some consistency I think he could see himself with a spo...

Is it strange to dream of bay56?

I've never met the man. (would like to have an ale with him one day)

But last night I had a dream Mrs Dubby and I were at the game, and we had to go meet bay56 at the end of the match.

God help me.

I have it on good authority its NOT Fittler.

My guess is Flanagan. Maguire is in Melbourne, not Sydney otherwise it would be him. He was here about 5 years ago wasn't he? The Raiders are big on former players and locals being involved at the club.
