I started out with the round ball as a very average but competitive junior, saved to look half OK by being in the Best team.....ar you also a mad Liverpool supporter like I Isz ??

Unfortunately I am a west ham boy - finally got to see us win a trophy last year!

I started playing soccer two years as a 50 yr old, joining a 35+ masters comp. I'm so bad I'm always left or right defensive back (this year anyway). Last year I scored 3 goals (which felt awesome) only because they needed someone up front due to injuries. Growing up, I thought soccer was dead boring, but playing (and training) has completely changed my opinion.
Season 2024 I'll be joining a 45+ comp....can't wait!

I am Liverpool through and through and My Favourite Liverpool Player that Made Liverpool Great was the Lethal striker , the record breaking goal scorer and The Bob Fulton Winning Force of of Liverpool the Legendary Ian Rush .

I must say @Isz Your boy Billy Bonds was a Great West Ham Player who always played with Great Heart , Passion and Tenacity.
Correct me if I am wrong but I believe they named a stand after him in your ground ?

Told not to show up at the Dogs apparently. So highly likely they are still trying to off load him.

As doggies captain U do wonder what $ he was pocketing. If he was cheap you think a club would have picked him up by now.

Yep, another player that Crialdo doesn't get on with.

Indeed - great players do make great clubs - here's the best (and I was privileged to see him play a game in Australia!) :

Almost hate to say it but I suspect Manly needs Brown to step up and play a significant role in our pack this year. We have most bases covered skill wise but need another forward who never smiles. Brown was easy to deride when he was an Eel but ... well he's not an eel now, so I'll try to look at him in a new light.
Meanwhile if we are using the likes of cuddly Schuster and good boy Burbo up front we'll probably need another bad-tempered big brother type to maintain credibility as a premiership aspirant.

Brown could be handy, especially in the early rds with us missing Lodge and Sipley.

😀 Funny but very true!

WTF?? Not sure if this is good or bad news.Does Seibold/Mestrov re-sign him just so the manager of Seibold and many dud players at the club,has a chance of getting his money?Obviously it’s dependent on whether he’s guilty or not.Once again,the club is at the mercy of a shifty manager

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Interesting timing. Has Brown now re-signed on a bigger salary, which Moses must have heard about through the grapevine? Therefore Moses the Lawgiver’ is looking to secure a fair chunk of that money through the courts?

 

[KNUCKLES]

The fact an NRL player can earn a gross income of 62,000 is pretty poor in this day an age though.

Timing is usually telling.

It’s a train and trial deal. What do you think park footballers earn? A meat pie and a schooner after the game. The minimum wage for a top 30 contracted player is double that of a train and trial contract. We live in a capitalist society. Players find themselves on train and trial deals for a reason. They get paid accordingly. If they perform, they get upgraded to wages that exceed the nurses and police officers and teachers that provide essential services. If a player wants to walk away from a last chance saloon and chase a job that pays more they can.

Everything is fine.

Compared to any other professional sport, it is peanuts mate

The NRL isn't as big a sport as it makes out

Yeah, as I said, it’s a train and trial deal, so it should be peanuts.

Interesting. I wonder if his contract at the time was for Parramatta to pay the manager's fee? Also, boy the legal people know how to charge for probably shuffling paper.

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

I think Brown might prove a few people wrong.

I guess time will tell, but I don’t mind the signing if true.

Hope this ages as well at this point of the season, as it does into our semi finals campaign.

Interesting reading here from some posters. A lot of hatred towords him, but I think his aggression is what we were missing.
