Bevan will be fine thou at 86kgs. Dont wna lose his speed. I reckon Barba got worse the more weight he put on.

He is probably lucky he is starting his career now and not five years ago. The game at the moment is as fast as I have ever seen it and has slightly opened the door for below average sized players to be more prominent.

His upper is fine though another 2kg on each leg would be very attainable and would help with his drive and tackle breaking. It would be worth losing a little elusiveness.

Tim Smith in 2005 was as good as Hayne's 2009

I dont recall Tim Smiths 2005, but realistically there hasn't been another player be as amazing for a season as what The Plane was at the back end of 2009...The Plane's 2009 was like watching Under 10's with one player so much more superior than anyone else on the field. The sport of NRL never witnessed anything like The Plane's 2009 performances before and we've not seen anything remotely close to it since.

It was something truly amazing.

Tim Smith in 2005 was as good as Hayne's 2009. In the lead up to Origin one he was in genuine contention with Thurston for the halfback spot. If he had the drive of someone like Gutherson he seriously could have been special. He threw passes that I still shake my head at. His vision was unreal and is shown in the clip below. In a split decision he looked up and decided to pull the trigger which resulted in hitting Inu on the chest 30m away.


At the risk of inflaming the ire of He Who Does Not Like Hayne, it's tough to perform at a consistently high level when your own brain is essentially against you.

Smith will go down as a great footballing tragedy. The kid could have been absolutely anything.

That's what you want people to think but really you get off bignoting about your houses or your investments or your inside knowledge of what's going on at the eels (which you are wrong about at least as much as you are right). Then when you get called on it you react like a nasty bitch, which only confirms I'm right. You want people to think you are all that and a bag of chips. Are you insecure flea? Do you have a micro penis so you need to inflate your ego?
No, I just need my penis to enter your big angry mouth. Can you accommodate it? Notice I haven't changed the font colour. I'm not joking.

Jeez I hope BA is reading this right, to me I have them pegged the exact opposite.

Moses's strength to me is his running game, his short kicking sucks and generally he doesn't strike me as a player who is capable of running a side around the park.

I was hoping playing outside Norman he would just go back to second fiddle and not have the pressure of being the go-to man all the time. I imagined him playing on an edge, just like Keary has been doing outside Pearce.

Anyways interesting to see how it plays out.
Just because Norman will spend less time at first receiver doesn't mean he won't be the 'go-to man'. I'm sure he'll get the ball whenever he calls it, whether from the dummy half or from Moses or one of the tight forwards.

I think he'd probably want to get to 88, personally. I don't think he'd lose any speed and he'd add some power

Because you were already invested and if we had all gotten in, then additional demand would have increased the value of your existing holding...
Your buy in would not have influenced it MJC, the market is too large. It's the second largest cryptocurrency in the world behind bitcoin. My intention was for all of you to make some easy money. That's all mate.

I 100% agree. You can put the blame on the media, the fans or Mark Riddell but ultimately it was his own doing.

Damn, I thought I posted that in a different colour for you.
I hate being colour blind sometimes.

When every merkin starts making crypto currencies the price will go through the floor. Make sure you sell before then.

I was going to do a quick crowdfund and throw a cool million in... too late now I guess.
