Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3150943, member: 9853"] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I][B]Macca[/B] is loving his exile in Newcastle, larging it with local legends such as[B] Paul Harragon[/B], [B]Matty Johns[/B] and[B] Danny Buderus[/B]. He's eager to “soak up what Newcastle is about:”[/I] “The team, the town, the old players. Harrogan tells me about his battles and the type of footy player he was and how he dealt with retirement and how the old boys hang out. Danny is in the bubble so it makes it easier to chat footy and tell the old stories.” “It all happened (the transfer) in 48 hours. I like to turn my phone off when I’m home just to get away from things. I had a nap, woke up and then had all these missed calls from different numbers. I saw an opportunity at Newcastle. Regardless of how it played out, I would’ve been dirty on myself if I didn’t take it. I just wanted to give it a crack and look back on thinking ‘gee, that was a good time of my life’. This has given me a new lease of life in terms of my footy.” [ATTACH type="full"]8966[/ATTACH][I] King and Queen of Newcastle With 12 seasons already banked as a loyal Bronco, and an option in his favour to return next year, he's now unsure whether he wants to return to the house that [B]Pies [/B]is burning down. Nonetheless he still keeps in touch with his former wards [B]Tom Dearden [/B]and [B]Xavier Coates[/B]:[/I] “I feel for them because I know how some of those boys would be feeling. There are some great kids there. Things aren’t right for whatever reasons and it’s tough and you don’t see how it’ll turn around. I feel helpless but I’ve been checking in on guys and giving them lessons – a way to deal with it and block things out. Tommy and Xavier lived with me. I told them what I did right and wrong during tough periods.” McHunt[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
