Just thought I’d pop to say I’m still kicking and to wish everyone a Merry Xmas & Happy New Year and please if travelling on the roads take good care as jeez it can be a bloody dangerous time for driving ( the nutters out in force ).
An interesting 3 months since I took a break , no big name recruiting ( Brooks was announced a while ago ) but I guess I didn’t expect that given the money invested in DCE/ Jurbo / Turbo & to a lesser extent Schuster.
I must say I like what I’m seeing in terms of Seibolds second year , there’s going to be plenty of competition for spots & that can’t be a bad thing, and I really do wonder how Schuster is going to go , hopefully better as a forward because he was never a 5/8.
Of course much depends on Tom and his ability to play more than about 3/4 games a year and let’s face it that remains to be seen.
The good news ( for those that know ) is I’m going to be away in the caravan next year for a very very long time , 7-8 months in fact with most of 24 being spent in WA.
I’ll be around for March and most of April, the gone until just before Christmas 24.
I have recently added a Starlink system to our van , so my months at a time off grid will be a thing of the past ( not sure if that’s a good or bad thing as it was peaceful when we were off grid).
And yes fishing will play a part in next year , hoping to catch some Barra in the Kimberley and we are having a few weeks at 80 mile beach so the surf rod can get a workout , plus I hope to do some fishing charters down around Exmouth. I never worry about photos ( I reckon that’s all bull**** ) so don’t expect to be bombarded with massive fish photos as that’s not my go.
And yes I’ll be back for the 24 season and sincerely hope we have a better year as we are certainly due, I however have decided I’ll give the game day threads a miss as they are far too hectic for my poor old heart !!
So until then , all the best for Christmas and Go Manly !!!
Oh and PS: the fatman comes #NextWeek so be careful about how much you eat and drink as it’ll come back to haunt you.
