Of course I don't mind Hindy. If I could put it in lights for ya, I would mate. But like I said, to many wowsers who can't see the light side of what you have to say and to tell you the truth, that's what make what you say even more funny to me, course you can see their indignation coming a thousand miles away.

Just don't let them limit your natural impulse to say what you like Hindy. They're are the ones who need to workout their own issues and learn to either ignore it or deal with it. There's all sorts on this forum and you are one of the more colourful ones(and my favourite) that makes this place more fun. Why on earth would some people want to stifle and attack that?

But I suppose that makes it even funnier, so hey haters, keep on hating, Hindy and I are laughing all the way to our next Bones on Bones meet session.


Lets just look forward to watching the eels Ram and lets hope BA uses some of our training methods and game plan. If so we will see them become electric eels once again.
I think Lane will be a suprise packet.

Well we can put an end to this rumour (if we hadn’t already):


Interesting that few months ago we were looking for a prop (musgrove and Knight) and now there really isnt a spot for one in the squad.

BA happy with Kaufusi’s progress?

We have essentially one spot left (because everyone will leave spot 30 open for a while), which given we only have one injury prone hooker in the current 28 man squad, it will go to another hooker.

Bunnies clearing out a few fringies to upgrade their hooker ?

Unless we need another prop ?


I have long advocated having a "last men standing" competition with the homeless off the streets of Sydney that are in shape and workout. This competition could be held by the club. On the balance of probabilities, there is going to be some that will perform better than the forward pack has for the most part in recent years. They will be happy to accept a lower salary as well. You need real men in the forward pack, not just physically but mentally. They would not have had an easy life and would be more resilient and eager to please. If recruitment want me to oversee the process drop me a line, there can only be positive PR that would come from this. Maybe even lucrative reality show deals, in which case I'm happy to put you in touch with my connections and even can grant you access to the Chinese market.

The average RB is about 178cm and 97kgs. Holmes is 185cm and 90kgs, so he has to work on that.

But apparently he thinks he might become a slot receiver or punt returner....



https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/i-...risked-5-million-pay-day-20181120-p50h98.html

Good luck to him. I'm doubt he will make it. Learning to run routes as a slot receiver might be achievable, but it's not like being a running back where there is mostly instinct involved. Working up a good rapport with your QB is essential to be a receiver. As for punt returner, there aren't many teams who would carry a specialist punt returner. He would have to make sure he can cover another position well enough to make the team before he gets that job.
Hayne didn't see a lot of snaps at RB, but when he did get the chance he proved himself at least serviceable.

I didn't think Hayne would make it into an NFL team and play in actual games and he proved me wrong. I don't think Holmes has as much natural skill or instinct as Hayne does, but I will be very interested to see how he goes.

And if he ends up playing for Seattle, then I hope he plays like shit.

Nah, I'll wait for the movie to come out.

It will be the bum fights of 2018, only politically correct, don't worry. It will have a positive message that we are all human at the end of the day trying to do our best in this capitalistic world filled with "Russian spies" waiting to grab you and your family behind every corner.

Of course it is relevant here in Australia, Google it.
Maybe you should read me post again, I know what it means, I wanted to know what it means TO YOU. Not what google defines the term as.

The reason I ask, and the reason I question its relevancy, is by breaking down the term. To say "Lib" or "Liberal" in Australia generally refers to people who are more conservative politically, as in the Australian Liberal Party. The term "libtard (or Libtart as you cleverly disguised it)" as you are using it comes from the US, where "Liberal" refers to a leftist or "liberal" political stance, such as the Democrats.

Are you following me? Do you get why using the suffix "Lib" to describe someone who leans to the left politically isn't correct in Australia? People (not myself, because I believe that politics and the team mentality that comes from it, are stupid) tend to use the replacement term "Leftard" in Australia, which is what I think you were shooting for.

Unless of course you were looking to insult people with conservative values, in which case, carry on.

Just remember, this is Australia, not the United States. Terms means different things here.
