    Shows like this can actually be a life saver for some guys i reckon. I follow Piri on insta and he's doing work! But he also blew up pretty huge 😬

    Did he what ? Shocking for a guy not yet 40.

    Cracked me up when he asked if the machine had been calibrated right though haha.

    Weepu looked like he didn't move from the couch after the 2011 final. Such a shame because he could have been one of the greats if he could have stayed away from the bakery.

    Second best on the list of halfback/first-fives isn't bad for a league kid from Wainui!

    John Preston number one right ♥️

    Who else ? the Postman always delivered.

    Should have played a lot more tests.
    Talking about postmen, Craig Innes was an actual postman.

    JK used to cut his fingers perving at chicks walking past the window so the legend says. Crap coach but a deadset legendary human in every other way !

    Reds and Wallaby prop Dan Crowley didn't have his picture in game programs because he was an undercover cop at the time.

    When I started collecting league cards they all had an occupation listed. I even recall Mick Hancock missing a game because of work commitments. Those were the days indeed.

    He helped out in his Dad's shop in Onehunga. They were part of a chain of stores that my old man used to work for from memory - he knew them both anyway.

    @Rancid-Schnitzel I think I remember heaps of the fowards were brickies - when the game was easier than work, but just a tad more violent (I hope!).

    Apparently his book is a fantastic read. I bet he has some great yarns.

    Watched Matchfit last night too. Really enjoyed it and so did my son. Its gonna be interesting to see how these guys go.

    Yeah the difference between Flavell and Cribb was a real eye opening. See Flavell a bit as he does pilates at one of the wifes studios but Cribb obviously hasnt been doing much other than taking it easy after all those injuries and operations

    From the promos, it sounds like Cribb has had a pretty tough time of it - was living in his car for a while (I was only half watching and wondering who he was) - though that story is presumably going to be told in the later episodes.

    @Rancid-Schnitzel Stack Stevens a sort of albino Piri with a pudding bowl haircut from memory

    Butchery in the @Snowy DNA. Who'd have thought.

    Well he was an accountant, but at least in the right industry.

    Didn't many of the players in the day run behind the garbage truck picking up rubbish to keep fit. Probably smoking a pack at the same time.
