Rumours and Stuff

That’s a bit racist to assume because they share same name and live in same broad area that they are related

Sorry I can’t hear you over your accent.

The players that they are adding are Australian born

Aren’t they letting players born over seas play if they moved here when they are 13?

I watched a good amount of our games towards the end of the 2025 season during the off season on YT. I made a comment on this thread that we looked like such a well coached football team. Cerebral in what we offer on both sides of the ball. (i know its just a trail) i think we might look even better this year.

Looks like these boys have put in the work and i am super keen for saturday!

If you thought we were dangerous last year, you should've seen us in 2023! We were equal sixth in line breaks per game. It's just a shame our defence was so poor. Last year we were equal 10th.

No sir. But I did spend three hours at the shopping mall waiting for Mrs Eelo to get her hair done. To fill in the time after I bought other shit I went to the tavern and enjoyed a Stone & Wood Pacific Ale (or two).

Sorry if this is a crazy question but is our one any relation to the gangsters?

Yeah bro he is. There his uncles. His old mans brothers…

They'll be a feeder planet. All the stars will want to play for Jupiter. The women's comp will be played on Venus.

As a feeder what do we expect to come out of Uranus?

Not a troll at all.

Just a poor misunderstood fella.

It's other people who invoke the BA argument.

Such an inflammatory f**kwit!

 

[T-Boon]

I think you measure the metres after contact

A lot of the time a fella is making metres after contact but it is really just that the defenders are wrestling him and the defensive line is under no stress from it - actually they are having a breather.
A line bend is when the middle forward gets to the defensive line and punches through it a bit (bends it) which usually causes some panic.
I would make it a seperate stat from post contact metres. Call the state a bend.

 

[T-Boon]

I remember in the 2022 GF our forwards had a comparable amount of post contact metres as penriths forwards but they had about 25 bends to our 5. Which told the story.

 

[hindy111]

Bend it like Boon

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Equal 6th!!!!! Wwwooowwww

You were pretty stoked with 10th. Now you're too good for 6th? Make up your mind ffs.

Who said anything about BA? I said the team was better in attack in 2023, and we were.

If he's still making metres, it means he's not under control of the defenders and the rest of the defensive line needs to be prepared for an offload.
