[Ness1500]

Just meaning give him a chance - he was solid in trials.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

I hope they prove me wrong but I just can't see where the improvement will come from in the Dogs

He’s a good defender according to Bea Arthur and half the Eels forum, they have talked themselves into believing he’s not that bad. Talk about Stockholm syndrome!! They will want him lynched by half time.

So was my morning stool but I don’t think either will hold up on the weekend.

Don't worry he has one good game a year and it's always against his former club the Bulldogs!

How do the Bulldogs sign 947 players and end up with Taaffe and Hutchison being their first choice 1 and 7?

Funniest part was Riccio making Braith go full Karen on NRL360 over Hutchison being picked over Sexton.
