Well don’t let anyone say rugby league isn’t a tough game no matter what age or level.

Just had a kid in my junior side have a massive head knock which put him out for the game and another break their collar bone (for the second time) in the first minute trying to do a Kaysa Pritchard on a prop !!

What day!!

Learning opportunities all round!

That's why I became a half. Outside professional footy no cares if halves are shirkers :p

Lol Baz. What are you trying to say? Is your sledging game a lot sharper on the cricket pitch as opposed to a footy field?

Look, I'm not saying I shirked all the time....but when 85kg Baz is suddenly in the way of one of the 135kg Scholars props, 85kg Baz is gonna miss that tackle no matter what....

Maybe it's better for 85kg Baz to stay alive so that he can step that fat f**k a few sets later and score, is all I'm saying

Lol.

I would've been worse than useless if the shoulder charge was banned back when I played. It was my go-to front on tackle. I didn't do it to hurt merkins, it was more a case of jumping in the air and curling into the fetal position in terror.

Mate, I was never questioning your strategy or bravery. I am hearing what you're saying. I just wanted clarification. Thanks.

Oh me too dude, I'd have been the Sandow of Canberra. Worse, probably.

I was not a good tackler, I tried but I never quite got that part of the game worked out. I could smack guys on my day but...

In answer to your original question, my sledging game is much stronger on the cricket field.

Folks tend not to iron you out when you're standing at extra cover giving it to them....:p

Yeah I could just never avoid knees, hips and elbows to the head and neck. Or dicks in and around my mouth, but if I'm honest I never really tried too hard to avoid those.
