I've always been interested in how Josh survived on the wing when other small players failed.. its the same with elusive fullbacks.. they seem to have the ability to use their footwork so they never get hit square on.. the tackler is always a little off-balance or reaching for them.

Its the piece (imo) that Sloan is missing, he should be a scary proposition to tackle when he runs the ball back.. but even this year, he is trying hard to run the ball back.. but he still runs 'into' the defender, so he gets stopped dead.. and often if hes not careful he will get lifted.. Look at a Faalago or a Campbell or a Bula or anyone small and nimble... they are scary when they run at you.. you mess up you will miss them.
He has an unusual "ghostie" running style. He hardly seems to touch the ground.

Shereb yep, but Coric wasnt part of the farewell package, and given his great form in the back end of the season.. I suspect he will take 1 of the spare development positions for 1 more year.. maybe he just needed a bit more time.


Ur spot on, I was looking that up last night... although I remember his long injury this year, he still played 21 games.. granted the buffoon was playing with a torn quad and 3 broken ribs towards the end.. which is just silly.. but anyway.. he is getting older, you never know when he gets a serious injury or 2.. the intensity he plays and trains with could catch up with him.. and tbh.. maybe he should scale it back and take a few recovery games during the year as he gets older.. we will see...
Silly?

No way.

Painful?

Yes.

He is a Gldiator from the (not really that) old school.

A MAN. A leader of lesser Men to aspire to be better.

Flanno’s type all day, every day.

Not likely we'll touch him with a barge pole considering not knowing what he has done.
That’s the thing depending on what he’s done. But you’d think if it was really bad the media would already know about it. If it was for doing drugs for example we already signed Val Holmes who was in trouble before with his social media post with a bag of cocaine in his mouth. We are signing Matt Lodge apparently and he’s also had his problems

Not really a Flano player if he doesn't want to do the hard yards.. good player but there's some that you just have to resist the temptation with.. I feel he's probably one of them
He’s great defensively which is what Flanno prioritises. I wouldn’t mind getting him. I’d argue Matt Lodge who we are apparently signing is a worse player and most likely has down worse things off the field.

There was a story recently in Buzz Rothfield’s Saint, Sinner, Shoosh concerning a fall out between a prominent player & the Captain of a high profile team that was in the top 8.
The rumour said they would not be in the same team 2025.

No idea who or why, but Maybe you can possibly join some dots.
