I like how Bunniesman has added astute investor and creative writer to his fictional character over the past few days.

Is there anything you aren't good at?

 

[Cliffhanger]

My reading comprehension sucks because I assumed that when you called two NRL players 'athletes' you meant they had relatively high athletic abilities compared to other players?

You're an idiot BM, seriously stop embarrassing yourself and never share your opinion on anything. Also in Australia, we spell 'defence' with a 'c'.

Language is a beautiful thing. Sometimes a word doesn't mean precisely the same thing in every single context.

The first definition of "athletic" on dictionary.com is "physically active and strong".

It is a very broad term.

Idris has "relatively high athletic abilities" in some departments and not others. He has a combination of size and mobility that you do not see everyday. In that sense he is athletic.

There are plenty of athletes in the NRL, not all of them have a footballers DNA. That is the point I was making. Any normal person would have understood.

stupid rain, was looking forward to watching qualifying tonight

 

[Cliffhanger]

In Rugby League circles, the term is used very often to describe especially fit NRL players. Players like Slater etc. Not fat lazy guys like Idris who have no grace in their stride. You say any normal person would understand WHAT you meant despite three people disagreeing with your observation. Just admit you are wrong and be done with it.

f**k we're woeful at cricket again

Be funny watching the majority of the forward pack beat idris in the beep test at the titans

 

[Hallatia]

it's not raining here, but I am debilitatingly unwell, so can't do anything anyway (aside from watching sports)

 

[BunniesMan]

FFS getting a 15 on the beep test is not the only way to be described as "athletic".

There's more to the word than aerobic fitness.

Dave Taylor is another guy I'd describe as athletic.

The word can be used to describe anyone from Ben Barba to Dave Taylor.

It can mean marathon level stamina, it can mean pure physical strength, it can mean any physical specimen that is special in some way. That includes the likes of Idris and DT.

language and, the Hussey Lee partnership was solid, before that you were looking at possibly finishing with a total around 150

 

[Hallatia]

I think tennis players should sledge each other on court.

It was.. it's crazy that Dussey hasn't got much of the strike in the last few overs.

also this shows how much we are going to miss Michael Hussey when he retires (please never do)

also f**k.

 

[Cliffhanger]

My tummy is upset, I think I need to throw up.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

If you genuinely believe we're geniuss, then you're a fool for suggesting that. As if you want geniuss to procreate. You and BM should get a room. At least you're two idiots who can't breed together.

I'm sorry I butted in on yore pitiful attempts to woo the liar/troll. It's the classic pretend you hate someone but secretly love them scenario.

 

[Hallatia]

Hussey needs to retire and soon, Australia are fortunate that he was solid in the last Ashes series and has been solid since, but the 18 months prior he showed he was very much on the decline and now he is only getting older, it would be a big mistake for Australia to want to carry him much longer, because he doesn't have long left in him

 

[Cliffhanger]

Apey has caused quite a stir in the NRL section by confessing the his attraction bourbon Becky.

 

[DragonPunk]

There goes Dussey and our slim hopes of making 200.

 

[Cliffhanger]

Oh, so that's why you're so aggressive towards me. I'm flattered and if given the option between a bullet to the head, you or BM, I would only choose the bullet over you.

 

[DragonPunk]

Good running. Yay we made 200.

 

[Cliffhanger]

Lol, wrong much.
