It's very rare I bet on maidens but 1 rule I have is not to bet on BM58 or lower

Generally they are horses who are really struggling and the results just aren't consistent

Tomorrow there are three TAB meetings

A total of 23 races

10- Maidens
10- B58
2 -Class 1
1- B66

Just sayin'

I actually prefer Maidens and Class 1 JWH.

You can put a line through a lot of them immediately and I have had some big priced winners this year. Horses having their 2nd or 3rd starts often improve many lengths through either experience, fitness or more distance - or usually a combination. So first thing I do is look at the roughies and see how many starts they have had and if there is any reason to back them if they are lightly raced.

What about Race 2 at Taree tomorrow. #1 Ayliffe Best Easts player signed by Souths ever

#1 Ayliffe Best Easts player signed by Souths ever

Interesting question but off the top of my head I'd say that honour would go to Russell Fairfax.

I remember the week before he was signed by Easts after being spirited into the leagues club by the back door I was refused entrance at the front door as my hair was over my collar (just).

There I was in my suit and tie trudging out as blokes in shorts and singlets, already half pissed, were welcomed with open arms.

Russell Fairfax played for Souths

He came from Union. Was good mates with his sister Tracey who was in my year at school.

The best player to go from Easts to Souths was Rocky Laurie.

As for you being chucked out - that would be more to do with you being a Souths supporter. They can spot you a mile off you know

Spot on PP . Fairfax was a rugby player who went to Easts. A brilliant footballer in probably the Tri Colours best era. Still haven't seen a better handler of a rugby league ball in wet conditions. At one stage I think he kept Graham Eadie out of the NSW fullback position. So in other words he was pretty handy!!

No not "spot on PP" at all.

He went from Randwick Union to Easts and then woke up to himself and went to Souths.

Calm down JWH - I doubt Fairfax played 6 games for the Bunnies . He was a Roosters player when at the peak of his powers. I would be surprised if he didn't play over a hundred games for the Roosters where he would have been a multiple premiership player. Think the bunnies were probably camped at the other end of the ladder in those days..

Hmmmm,

Pretty sure he hurt the opposition more as an accountant!

Fours

He played a few games for them in 1981 then retired having played for Easts from 1974-1980.

Hardly a Souths "recruit". A bit like Royce Ayliffe and Bryan Fletcher.

I see Souths giving Alex Johnstone the boot so Russ can pay his promised $1 million to Latrell. That should delight you Souths fans

The question was not "best recruit" or "best long-term player"

It was simply

"Best Easts player signed by Souths ever
