[T.S Quint]

All these posts about boring jokes are very exciting.

Freedom of speech!

Welease Waqa

I or Suity didn't say he should be cancelled or banned Captain Hyperbole, did we?

He is entitled to be as boring as he likes, but by the same token anyone is equally entitled to criticize him if they so please.

And likewise others are free to criticise you for being such a f**ken whinger.

Thought Field did pretty good defensively. Was targeted at times but made most of his tackles.

Come up with some good one on one tackles

 

[Dibs]

Personally, I thought he knocked it on.

He did

Of all of the things someone could get antsy at @hineyrulz for...

I can think of plenty of others - poor dental hygiene being at the top of the list.

Yep and he's free to write a 10,000 word essay defending himself in response...

 

[Gary Gutful]

...and I'm free to be a merkin.

Any word on if Waqa has picked up a charge?

For his haircut?

2 counts of being a mushroom and 1 count of being an accessory to being a mushroom.

So, 2 counts for being a shiitaki and 1 for being a fun guy.

Shaun Lane had 45 post-contact metres, and Nathan Brown had 102.

Nathan Brown made 27 hit-ups, and Lane made 10.

I think he's doing just fine, to be honest.

You’ve compared an edge forward to
A middle...

I’m not saying lane is crap, but the way some rave on about him, they make him out to be SBW.

He’s a journeyman for a reason, that had a decent season last year. Lacks aggression for his size

 

[IFR33K]

Prolly because there isn't much to whinge about of late. Even the Stefano bubble hugs will blow over.

Merkins looking to be outraged should hit up the rumours thread. Reedy remains unsigned FFS !

Sorry merkin, isn’t this a forum to discuss the good/bad of the team?

I'm thinking you might be exaggerating to make a point.

I don't think Lane has ever had a shocker for us. Individually, they've all had good and bad games, but as a team, they've been consistently good. For instance, Fergo will get his breakthrough try soon enough and then the floodgates will open. Swings and roundabouts.

Eels fans have a long history of over hyping their players.

Yes, but it wasn't about their positions - Lane's post-contact metres are on par with Brown's.

It's just that he made fewer runs.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Are post contact metres even allowed during COVID-19?
