If they all played like Ian Roberts, that would be a massive improvement.

My point - your sexual preference does not for a split second correlate to your ability on the field.

Poor choice of words perhaps?? I thought it could be used to refer to shit sports players without the homophobic slant. My bad - what I mean was they play with no heart, no passion, and don't give it their all (physically and mentally) every time.

Perhaps I should have said they play like a bunch of useless fucks!

who would be better in the long term....bodene or elijah?

So Vossy just tweeted good luck to Nathan Cleary making his debut tonight. I've already bought him in because I'm just in dire need of a cash cow but I wonder if should risk reserving him in case he has a Te Maire Martin style debut.
My reserves this week are Holland, Bodene, J Turbo and K Niko. I mean going by Holland's recent scores so long as Cleary has an average day out he could score as much as him couldn't he?

Yeah I also thought it meant someone who was soft, nothing to do with sexual preference whatsoever.

I reckon ET - full of energy after months on the sideline and probably feels he has a lot to prove vs. a known pill-popper who has already been stood down once, and by all accounts is a part of the group of guys who doesn't back the coach so could see more time on the sidelines again.

They both score well - perhaps you'd expect the same from each on average but I think there is more risk associated with Bodene!

Yeah, I didn't know. Did look it up though and it does seem it can be associated with some derogatory words (associated with sexual preference) and being "unmanly". Perhaps one of those ones to stay away from if it offends people in that way

He would make for a great cash out for me for PatMat (via some DPPs).

Whats his deal?? Is he set to be there for a while? Does he kick goals like his papa?

Segeyaro's on the outer just like ET was. Griffin probably wants to play a proper half there instead of rotating Peachey/Cartwright/Wallace throughout the game. I don't know much about him but he's highly rated as far as I know. Juniors Kangaroo half I believe and he does kick goals.

OK cool, so Wallace plays hooker, and Peachy drops out of the halves to the bench??

And its a done deal you reckon? I have to make the trade before the Newc game...

Yep, got a great boot on him and has a great future ahead of him. Will be a first grade regular, I have no doubt.

I can't guarantee anything but you just need to type his name into the Twitter search bar to see there's a lot of mail around him debuting tonight.

Anyone seen Kevin Walters son Billy play?

He's a five eight for Easts in the Q Cup. Looks like a good upcoming player

Sort of related, anyone else catch that number 3 for the Warriors U20's today (Essarro I think?)? I know it's only Holden Cup but gee he looks good. 3 tries including a 30 point play (4 TB's/LB/80 metre try) and kicks goals.

MCguire playing hooker.

I didnt see it any other way then likening them to a flower. Too gentle and soft

Soon we will not be allowed to use any words. Just go back to grunting.

Rippin and a tearing, dont be offended, it makes you sound like a pansy

So I need to sell someone this week. Who do I sell and I'll need to know soon Aloiai, Holland or K Niko???
Aloiai just freeing up some cash for someone who ain't going to make much money but has attainable BE of 23. Holland or K Niko well one of them would be a R for me this week I just wonder who will lose less cash this week.
Holland's BE is 42 and would require him to step up his game while K Niko's minutes are unknown and his BE is 31. I don't know how long McGuire will play Hooker considering he's backing up from Origin but who knows.

Need one of C. Scott, Feeney, Hughes or Bhana to play to make up 17. What are the odds?

Cleary worth binging in as a cash out for Lamb?? Only 13 trades so being cautious

Hastings NOT playing NSW Cup.

A few other changes to that Wyong Roos squad as well, including 2 outside backs. I have no basis for this whatsoever but considering Copley came back a month or 2 early that may be a bad sign that they are giving him another week.
