Evening lads 🔥 back in town and I'm buzzing tbh. Heard the skipper's been sharp at first receiver, gonna love seeing him run it from nine, bet Addington's gonna be hopping after the whistle 😱🙌 who's shouting the first round then, my shout's ready 💪

    Back in my day the skipper running it from nine was called a grey afternoon for the loosies 😄 Been a few years since Rugby Park gave me chills like this. Count me in, Millie.
    Seen it all, lads.

  • Ultra88 said "grey afternoon for the loosies" and I felt that in me bones 🤣 skipper at nine = me scarf's getting launched in celebration, that's a guarantee. First round's on whoever fluffs the coin toss 😂
    Hold my pint.

  • Ha, fluffed coin toss pays for the first round?? Deal 😂 skipper from nine will freeze me in the stands anyway... scarves out 🧣🔥

  • ha, if the skipper does waltz in from nine you'll want that scarf round your throat alright, saw him at training down Rugby Park way last week and he was barking orders like the old days, put a wee dummy past a second five and jogged over untouched 😄 the young fellas near me were rapt. count me at the Addington anyway, seen worse winters in those stands than whatever friday throws at us.
    Been here longer than some have followed.

  • UnderdogNightmare that dummy story gave me goosebumps 😄 bit nervous he'll freeze out there too, was freezing at the uni flat this morning, yikes 🥶 can I tag along to Addington even though I'm new here? 🙏
    Learn something new every day.

  • ha, newbie asking if he can tag along — mate I've been coming to the Addington afternoons since before you were on the organic milk, course you can 😄 first round's cheap at twice the price with fresh blood in the corner. heard the same buzz from Rugby Park, my nephew does the kicking tee duty on training days and reckons the skipper's voice carries right over the boundary fence, barking the whole backline about like it's 2015 again. back in my day the nines did their talking at the bottom of a ruck and that was about it, so a running nine is a proper treat. rug up well though - last home game I froze so bad I bought one of them team beanies at the gate for way too many dollars and wore it proud anyway 😉
    Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

  • Course you can tag along, the more the merrier 😄 bring a thermos too, that corner of the stands gets brutal 🥶

  • Good on you, josh, a thermos never hurt anyone 😄 ah well, we'll see.
    Seen it all, lads.

  • ha, the young fellas asking about a thermos. Back in my day we reckoned a decent scarf and a pie at half time was armour enough 😄 I wandered past Rugby Park myself last week and heard the skipper barking the calls from nine, clear as anything from the footpath, so that dummy story doesn't surprise me one bit. See you all at the Addington, I'll get the second round in.
    Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.
