He prefers receiving the award over handing it out.

Cant take a trick eh Poo?

“I’ll wear the 7 meow”

What an idiot. He should’ve said “I’ll be the arf-back”

 

[84 Baby]

Cant take a trick eh Poo?

I reckon he takes many tricks

 

[Eelementary]

don't even joke about that

I'm not - it's honestly the least disruptive option.

 

[Eelementary]

I dont think he has struck a blow since he signed with Rugby probs the Parra game was his last decent game.

We may not get to see that higher ceiling if he is committed to Rugby to at least 2027 and if he comes back at all.

I wouldn't swap Penisini for anyone - kid is a star.

I think it was the sivo no try. Did you see the Kaleb come across and thought, I'm not gonna get injured for this

Ella was really good.
For those who are too young, sterlo attacked at half but defended at fb and Taylor, our fb, defended in the line but actually more like the present day hooker

Taylor did attack at 7 sometimes.

Sometimes Ella was at 6 and Kenny at 4 you can see that in one of the tries

But the 2 dog gfs were scarier. 6-4 and 4-2. They were on the edge stuff

And you could play the ball forward if there was no marker - was that Les Boyd scoring for Manly?

I was a little mincer back then. Running around in the backyard with my football and coming in every 20 min asking what the score was. Would break out into a rash if those games happened now.

[Snoochies]

How bout Pricey copping one across the chops and the teams like yeah whatever.

 

[hineyrulz]

If Pricey didn’t leave the field bloodied it was like he hadn’t played a game.

Absolute Naturals Kenny and Ella. You can’t teach that shit. Great players! These days we get robots and that natural skill gets taught out of them.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'm not.

Gutho is too good to move from fullback.

Hands' development at 9 will likely be stunted by shafting him to the 7.

It's the only logical choice, imo.

Hands certainly needs to improve his effort areas. Here's Hands not missing a tackle on Perham. This is the opposite of chasing the collision:

People watching footy rarely watch defence.

They do when they’re death riding some merkin
