Well....aren't u the king of sh1t

Nah, that award certainly goes to the Pooman.

I'd normally be pretty pumped about seeing our devolpment squad... Right now I couldn't be f**ked.

Pity, my youngest is having a run, can't give you his name but he is one of the anglo boys.

 

[Stagger eel]

Mate, I'll probably end up going but right now I just couldn't give a stuff... I'll send you a PM if I go!

Pity, my youngest is having a run, can't give you his name but he is one of the anglo boys.

I would imagine it wont be hard to work out who he is then.

He will not even need to touch the ball to stand out

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Will he be wearing the coveted jersey 18 like his Uncle Poupou?

Mate, I know how you feel having watched the "financial, leading to player talent" destruction of my club in the late 90s due to and in the aftermarth of the superleague war.

At lest you still have a club, I only have 1/2 of one.

So while looking up Brenden Santi a couple of weeks ago I found the Bulldogs' 2010 NYC squad, of which Santi was a member.

That team ran third and lost to eventual premiers New Zealand in the preliminary final.

Of that squad, six merkins have gone on to play NRL footy:

Dale Finucane
Josh Jackson
Sam Kasiano
Nathan Massey
Aidan Sezer
Martin Taupau

Of these six, all of them bar Kasiano and Taupau turned 19 that year. The latter two turned 20.

Massey and Taupau made their NRL debuts in the year they turned 20; the others all debuted in the year they turned 21. Interestingly, the two who made their NRL debuts the youngest are the two who aren't regular NRL players.

Nathan Massey played six games for Canberra in 2011, but his backup contract expires at the end of this year and he is without a club for 2014. The rest are all contracted for next year (Sezer at the Titans, Taupau at the Tigers and the other three still at the Bulldogs).

... and then this little piggy went, weee weee wee, all the way home

 

[bartman]

Glad u enjoyed yourselves.

Who is who.

I'm the one who looks like I've just realised I'm stuck drinking next to someone who has narcissistic personality disorder.

And Pou's the one who looks like someone with narcissistic personality disorder that has just realised that not everyone believes he's anywhere near as smart as he does.

bart is the one accidentally logging out to read what merkins are saying about him.

He hasn't been on the forums lately, I think he's been spending a bit of time of facebook.

So you looked it up a couple of weeks ago, but you're just posting it now.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That's correct.
