You have been awake for the last 77 seasons or so, to witness every M-W centre three-quarter in action? You must be very tired.
How did you rate Robbie Parker’s four first grade appearances for Manly in 1977? Better than Harper’s 50+ games?
Wow…no wonder you’re ‘The Insomniac’.
Happy Birthday feathered friend
I am glad you had a best ever party
And I hope you have many more best ever parties by keeping fit and healthy
Health and fitness is the greatest sacrifice and investment we all can ever make
When we are fit and healthy we lay the foundations to an active lifestyle where we can enjoy life to its fullest and reap in the rewards in our ripe old age
The proof is not in the pudding but in the healthy diet and fitness regime
Charles Eugster at 96 years of age is proof that by keeping fit and healthy you can compete in marathons instead of contending in nursing homes
Lol he isn’t even in the conversation for worst, off the top of my head and not thinking about it, McGuinness, Vaealiki, Neumann and Stephenson all offered a mile less

Lol. Yeah a lot of people don’t like him. I’ve got some friends who agree with you.
Seems we like to sign players and roll the dice on "potential" ala Talau type players and others with similar talents.

Ok Terry, perhaps I should have qualified that with, " in recent memory ". You must have a miserable existence if bad individual player performances linger with you for over 46 years. Personally Harper's inept form will be forgotten immediately by me, when he leaves our hallowed club. Although hopefully I'll enjoy them anew, watching them when he's wearing Blue & yellow. It'll be hilarious then !

I’m not saying that Parker’s performances were miserable at all. He was a pretty good player at the back end of his career. Just that your statement was such a silly one to make in the first place. So yes, qualifying your comments is always a good option.
Life is pretty good by the way.

Glad to hear it Terry. Mostly agree with you views on here. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Go Manly !
Very creative and funny post feathered friend
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes, I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted and my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say, and you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you

I think Talakai will be hoping Harper stays in the NRL until the rest of his playing days...lol

Devereux was ok. Found himself in a spot of bother when he returned to the UK.

In what way?

There was an issue that blew up after he returned to the UK.
It was certainly nothing sinister.
The fact that I can’t find any reference to it suggests there was nothing to it.
It’s the off-season Terry. Just make something up.
