The only thing your feeling is your middle stump
*you’re
you have been doing that for year's.
*no apostrophe for years
You are still a babbling boring buffoon always have been always will be.
*comma between babbling & boring
*end sentence after buffoon
Now say something funny funny man
*comma between funny & funny
*full stop at end of sentence, although for effect an exclamation mark would have been better.


You’re a nasty man.

But maybe I like that about you..

This is interesting.. So from what I can see here there is further deflection rather than addressing the issue.

It’s not a major problem, you can generally remediate using mindfulness..

Some may say it’s a buzzword, but to really address what makes oneself tick, it is advised by experts to take some time to relax, put aside all the stresses of the world and just focus on what’s around you.

Do you have a beach or river nearby? Being near water often helps..

Well, I did highlight your lack of general comprehension some time ago.

River? You are a babbling brook.

If you choose to sit beside me whilst chasing your zen moment of mindfulness, I will be flattered but slightly perplexed.

Send me your number and your socials and we’ll tee it up..

Exactly.

WIng is not a position where we should go out and spend big coin. Plenty of clubs have have gotten by with players like Rava and Pearson and and spent time developing them. They have the potential to be good wingers but I fear we don't have the coaching smarts to bring out their best. But they should be persisted with.

I agree if we're going to spend big, fullback and centre is where I'd be looking. And we don't even need a big name. A smart pick up like Nikol Klokstad would have been ideal for instance.
My point is that Ravalawa, Pearson and Pereira are all good reserve grade signings however, first we needed to sign first grade wingers and then two of the above 3 as reserve grade backups. In the backs we also have a fullback and centre problem which also needed addressing in the off season.

As it turns out all could have been solved if we would have let Widdop go early and dropped Aitken and Dufty to reserve grade. Widdop's money could have been used to buy a quality fullback for 2019 and beyond with Lomax going to 3.

Hasn’t the money set aside for 2020 onwards already been redirected to Norman?

Am I the only one that thinks of this song when Ravalawa’s name is called in commentary?

I actually think of mistadobalina but I substitute ravalawa for dobalina.
mista ravalawa mista Rav Ravalawa.
I sing it all the time whenever he touches the ball. My kids love it.

I think Ravi is a centre and could be if tried for a few games to find his groove there smashing through a gap like Meninga stomping people terrifying them to set someone up with his superb ball skills to score im DAMN excited about this, how about a petition??
Its pretty obvious hes got the pace along with the tree trunk legs like big Mal and ONLY played a a handful of NRL games, think about that....

Most of Norman's money is there for next year; I believe all but 200k. Which leaves about 750k of Widdop's salary left to spend.

SGI needs an additional first rate prop and a first rate fullback / Centre urgently for 2019. It is rumoured that Dufty and Aitken will be gone by the end of 2019 so, with Lomax going to right centre or Fullback and depending on how Lafai is when he returns, we may need a left centre and a fullback or two centres. With the loss of JDB and the potential loss of Graham for 2020, we need to recruit one good prop for 2020 and beyond. Potentially our line up for next season should be:

1. New Fullback
2. Pearson
3. Lomax
4. Lafai
5. Ravalawa
6. Norman
7. Hunt
8. New Prop
9. McInnes
10. Vaughan
11. T Sims
12. Kaufusie
13. Frizell

14. K Sims
15. Timm
16. Leilua
17. Laurie

Gone: Aitken, Dufty, Maranta, Runciman, Allgood, Latimore, Kerr Widdop, Field

I would have Lomax at fullback, new centre,Kerr either gone or in the team and I think Blacker can step up to be the prop watch him in the under 20s state of origin.
