Yes. And you also said he'd return from a broken jaw in the preseason to score tries in the 28th and 31st minutes against the Chooks in round 9.
Merkins play in round one with f**k all match fitness. It doesn't matter that much. They get/stay fit at training through the week, and Blake would have been running for a couple of weeks by now. Players only return from injury in reserve grade when they're not needed in first grade.
Yeah I never saw him as a bad guy, just a bit of a dope.
Me too. I hated the signing. But he's proving us wrong. Now I'm on the Carty Party and am a fully fledged anti-vaxxer. Might even go into bat for @I'm a loser baby... in the Covid thread.
Oh sure, jump on board now that victory is in sight.
Thought I was reading the Hayne thread until I got to the part in parentheses... True on both counts by the way... IMO
Given the cut price salary we signed him to, I was ok from the get go with the signing. But I never saw him as being a key part of our best 17. But who knows. He's a bit like Dean Widders in his heyday - can bust a game wide open in 20 minutes either side of halftime. I don't think he'd be great anywhere for 80 minutes. And I think opposition coaches would pick him apart if he was playing an established role somewhere, anywhere!!
My biggest issue with it was him being off contract as soon as he arrived. How much will it cost to retain him ffs
He was going to get Nrowns money but now that's allocated albeit less than anticipated. Yes I agree. Money is getting very tight. Probably only Fergos and Mennings to play with. Probably about one million but how far can we spread it around? Thankfully we now have decent negotiators employed. Given our interest in Gay Guy we must be doing ok.
