Its about best places to scratch and be scratched. I like scratching my ankles and around the tail bone toward the buttock split.
A mate suggested scratching the sock line when take socks off. Thinking of saving it for next weekend.

Seems like you sat on your computer all weekend. Anytime I logged on here within 2 mins you posted. Are you sick or just a boring weekend? You could have a forum addiction.
I admit i find it hard not to log on.
He was sitting on his computer instead of meeting me at the Chardies, he missed out on a delightful afternoon of Mangoes and betting on slow horses.

Semi would replace Glover in my best ever Eels team. Hayne and Grothe would have a shoot out for the other wing although if we picked Best Ever Team plus 4 replacements, Hayne would get jersey 14 in my team. The Mayor, of cause, would be fullback.
To be honest Hayne would shit all over Ken Thornett in their primes, that's why its impossible to compare generations. Clive Churchill wouldn't even make it in any team today, if fact he probably wouldn't make it in any junior team. This is not saying some of these players wouldn't make it today but they wouldn't be superstars like they were in their generation.

Compare any 50/60/70/80s player to today's player and the differences are obvious. Today's players are much, much bigger, stronger and usually more skilful, and much much better paid. Today's players are true professionals whereas until the 80s most players had another job to survive. Today most backs are around 100kg and forwards 110kg or more, in 80s and before most forwards were battling to be 100kg.

Nah mate after spending all day at Chardies I’m driving home. If your drink driving you may as well make an bird of it.
To make a bird of it best to hit 2-3 parked cars along the way, cause several others to have accidents and be sure to attach that stop sign near your street to your car as you drive into your garage slowly. Don't want you destroying that!

It took QLD 80 years to start winning interstate matches. We’ll get it right eventually.
Has Meninga started building the wall he promised to keep all the Mexicans south of the border away? Also said those Mexicans would pay for it, has that happened? Haven't seen any work so maybe no.

Shit, he must be a pollie, always lying to us!

Agree
Guys like Grothe where great cause they prob trained a littled harder and naturally where a little stronger. He wouldn't be anything special in todays game.
Unfortunately the same would be said for guys like Tallis,Hindmarsh,Puletua etc.
They dominated at a time where other teams had weaker players.Nowdays you jave to be something special to dominate how those guys could.
Its what makes Semi something special and IMO Kikau,Tamoulolo also.
Those 3 guys if played in 90s or prior would of almost been unstoppable.

But in a way it has also made Rugby league boring. Teams dont try and exploit weakness when i poor field position cause they know there just rarely is any. It has turned it into a game of forcemans back and become very predictable. Teams respect possesion far to much now as well.

I've always felt rugby league will end up with 17 guys and bar 1 x halfback and a hooker the rest will be built in a 2nd rowers athletic mould.
Every players over 6ft 2 and 105kgs. And just pound up the field. Id give it 10yrs and dont think it will be far off this style of play.
