I just meant the role. He's a steady 7, for sure. And he probably will average more like 500 ish kick metres.

Eye test wasnt anything different to what you'd expect.

Does anyone else have a wife/partner who plays Fantasy?

Mine does, my main objective this season is first and foremost not to finish behind her.

I'm coaching U11 boys this year too. Had them all the way since U6s. Good watching them progress from being totally aimless on the pitch to playing stuff that actually looks like soccer.

Biggest issue is every year we lose our best players to the dev squad. We're losing 3 of our best players from last year coming into this season (but fortunately we do get 1 back)  My son is one of just 2 who have played every season with the team.

Reserve grade teams play like the Wests Tigers confirmed

That's good to know though, I always suspect that RG stats vs NRL stats is not in anyway comparing apples with apples - some players will thrive at both levels, some won't, and equally some might do better at NRL level (or at Cup level)

He cost $750k

People don't like spending half that on a CTR

I'm an older poster who maybe is sensitive and watchful with the language I use and tell it how I see it.

It's a bit of a hybrid role I guess

799 kick metres is probably not what people were expecting. he averages less than half that

If I was trading in someone I missed, May would be higher on the list than Fogarty

Well that's an interesting way to mark international women's day.

Maybe next time before you use "girls" as some sort of negative floor for performance, you think about what would happen if you tried to run around Georgia Hale in a game, or maybe tried to tackle Mele Hufanga, Millie Boyle or Isabelle Kelly just as a few examples.

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to coach some kids playing rippa rugby for the first time.
On field the teams are 7 aside, but require to always have at leasts 3 girls on - because of lower participation, that means the girls have to work harder and play the whole game without a break. But they don't let that deter them, they don't drop in determination or effort, they work hard in defence and show speed and agility that is easily equal to their male counterparts.

They also have to deal with this kind of sexist bullshit, so in future can we please just be a bit better, and not go there?

Thanks, end rant

Fog is fine if you started with him. Did better than I expected, but the knights were disgustingly bad. I didnt start with him and hes not on my list now. Strange will warm into the role and take more ball.

May is top of my list, then maybe Cheese but will most likely skip so I can get May. Turbo I regret but will prob skip.

Yes I realise that now I didn’t mean it with any malice but I understand what you’re saying and I apologise.

I just thought I'd take the opportunity to explain the joke you missed the other day. When Loomer said 'The whole worlds gone woke' he was taking the piss out of the tendency for some people, usually white blokes, to claim everything they disagree with is 'woke'.

It's curious that you didn't get that.

Tbh i think Loomer said, and meant, exactly what aarkvark described.

Rabbit wrote:

What you think he meant and what he actually said are not even close. Go dig up the quote. It was nice try but too obtuse. Victim mentality has sure sucked some of you in. To the detriment of the world.

Just my opinion.

What minutes is May getting when JWH returns? Elevated minutes with Tups getting injured and Wong?

Is he a must have?
