bloody quoteing system

 

[eloquentEEL]

Geyer at prop :lol:

I do have a question mark over some of those Mike:

Patten - don't think Luke's played anywhere except fullback. Are you thinking of Wes Patten by any chance?
Hoffman - front row?
Mason - lock?
McGuiness - thought he was a centre/winger, but maybe I'm thinking of the wrong guy?
MacGillivray - thought he was a prop/2nd rower? swap McGuiness & MacGillivray and it's probably right.
L Williams - can't think of who this is... what's his first name?

 

[Ghoulies]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm fine with the idea of allowing second rowers to play lock even if they've never officially played there. (by second rowers I mean players whose normal position is in the second row)

 

[Caged Panther]

yeah I don't have problem with 2nd row playing lock.

 

[UndertakerMike]

yeah I don't have problem with 2nd row playing lock.

Well he (Mason) played there most of last season.

Geyer at prop :lol:

Pattern:- I'm sure he has.
Hoffman:- Defineatly played Front Row... even this year. (Yes the Storm are hard Up for Front Rowers).
Mason:- Covered.
McGuiness -> MacGillivray (will do the switchyroo )
L Williams:- Picked him up as a Centre.

 

[bartman]

Ah, I was thinking "when did Ken McGuinness go into the pack"?! :lol:

I think it's long held CRL tradition that second rowers can be chosen as locks? So many actually end up packing in the odd scrum there during a real game, regardless of what number is on their back.

 

[UndertakerMike]

I've seen Chan stand at centre during a scurm.... Dose that mean I can select him there????? :lol:

 

[bartman]

Well you can stand him there... doesn't mean his ratings would swap over ;-)

All the best for the season UM.

 

[UndertakerMike]

All the best for the season UM.

Chan is banished anyways.

Best of luck to you alls also (Not) :badgrin: :badgrin:

 

[White Poiner]
