The Central Coast comp isn't really renowned for it's toughness anyway, but I fair dinkum watched this bloke refuse to get off his wing and go to fullback one day and he carried on like a spoilt 12 year old kid.
What a muppet.

Originally posted by tony the wheel View Postat the SFS many years back a mate and myself were given 2 pads full of entries to fill out for the halftime kickoff run by 2MMM I think. We sat there for an hour furiously filling them out, put them in the entry box, and my mate got drawn out.
Had his first kick from in front for $100, and it hit the post and went through. Has his second kick halfway out towards the touchline for $2000, and kicked it. So then he had a kick for $80,000 from the touchline, and the announcer guy said to him "how do you feel about kicking for $80,000 in front of 40,000 people" (it was a semi) and he replied, "I guess everyone gets $2 each if I make it". Got a huge laugh from the crowd
His effort from the touchline was a disgrace, but because they'd raced through the whole process pretty quickly, the announcer said "Should we give him another shot?", and the crowd screamed "YES"
For his 2nd attempt he reverted to the straight on toe bash style kick. I was sitting almost directly behind the kick, and as he struck it and it left the boot sweetly, I leapt to my feet an shouted "He's kicked it!". But fark me it faded just slightly and missed to the right by about 2 metres at the most. Had the distance too.
We still had a pretty big night at The Royal then Archies
I remember all those joints everyone mentioned and no one mentioned the Cockers (Cock n Bull), The Tea Gardens, Players and (Billys) Billy the Pigs.
I'd end up down at The Bondi Hotel, Beach Club or The Kiwi Bar.
Great times.

You know it makes sense.
