Mum turned 80 on Saturday, I'd spoken to Tim Ginever to see if he could pull something* off to make her day, he sure did. Waltzed into her place Saturday afternoon with a bunch of flowers like it was his own place, sat for an hour and had a beer with us. He's a champion bloke.

Couldnt stay him as a player but that's because he was so consistent and such a crucial part of that Port era.

Off field though the bloke seems like an absolute champion on the few occasions i have met him.

Glad your mum's birthday was made. Spread the word about his deed, far to often we only hear when these 'celebs' do the wrong but never hear the great they do.

I've begrudgingly liked this for much the same reasons of whuffer, but I've not heard one bad bad word about Ginever.

His performance in the 1994 GF was one for the ages he just kept cracking in against the odds all through the 2nd and 3rd qtr then the dam broke.

Finest Captains performance I've seen in a Granny
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

This could be in the Sh1ts thread, the Sad thread or this one, but I'll be positive about it.

Big Miss Jase was due to have her first Level 6 gymnastics competition on Saturday arvo, and was having g the teams final traininsession Friday night.

The very last tumbling pass before the cool down started at the end of the session, she misjudged her Back Sault and fell on her arm/wrist.

We ended up I hospital at 8:45 pm and ended up leaving after inconclusive xrays at 3:30am.

She was devo about missing her comp, and potentially another 2 comps ,but still wanted to go and cheer on her team.

You could see her little (big) heart breaking when her teammates where competing but she kept on cheering for them...

Hopefully thr follow up xrays on Wednesday will be clear and a couple of weeks she'll be back.

Really well mate, thank you.

Has given the stick the flick and other than a bit of a limp you wouldn't know she'd hurt herself.

I met him on a flight a few years ago
He was fairly bombastic and laughed at everything
I spent an hour or so talking with him about all sorts of things
Came away thinking - "what a great bloke"
He just seems to enjoy life

Another racial out burst at a sporting event, this time at the NRL.

What I rate was the response by the South Sydney coach Jason Demetrius and the impassioned plea to end racism and telling supporters not to come if that’s what they are going to do. Rarely do we hear that from coaches
