Yeah shows the hypocrisy in the game.
If we signed him for that everyone would complain but no one would be willing to take him for what they would expect us to pay for him.
Anyway he is too high maintenance for nearly everyone the only club that might do something with him would be the Storm who would either make him or break him. (probably the latter).

He was always crazy good in the air. He only had to hang onto the ball. I expected Bellamy to sort that out. He has plenty of AFL players in his orbit.

Watch him soar and give him a high 5 on the way down, basically.
I hate what Melbourne have done to our fanbases psyche, we basically approach it as a bye except there's no competition points.
What's for dinner next week?

The broncos just refuse to fight fire with fire... the teams that have been successful against them don't take their shit and will dive if they dive, start fights to get a penalty and cheat at any opportunity.
Storm are going to do it to us and we'll just stand there and take it like a bitch.
Sharks started it, parra were doing it in their wins, penrith do it to everyone anyway... even at magic round when storm lost to raiders it was because of a massive dive to get Loeiro penalised for a gift 2pts in front.
Storm get away with more than most because their team know the rule book back to front... they know the rules better than the refs (not that big of an accomplishment to be honest)... if anything goes up to the bunker they'll be around the ref talking loud enough so the bunker can hear it and then that's what the bunker ends up focussing on.

I think we struggle to do it because we don't really have a feel for the game, ie, how the ref is interpreting the ruck and those little 50/50's. We don't seem to probe the boundaries, we either stay within or we're 5miles over the other side.
We should hire Richie McCaw fulltime and get him to teach us the dark arts.

I love your premise - unfortunately, I don't know how many times Richie is going to catch the rugby world ref boss cheating on his wife.
(this is simultaneously a joke and yet somehow the only plausible explanation I can come up with for how many refs kissed him on the dick repeatedly over so many years)

If that's true...that highlights all things wrong with the NRL.

I'd love to see it. Is he going to offer less than Junt? I actually don't mind Junt just quietly but I also don't mind throwing debutants into the deep end. We did it with Te Kura last year.

yeah @1910 said we wouldn't see him for a while, so I wonder if that's curtains for him until finals.

Last week would have been perfect. This week in a do or die game with Piakura and Willison missing, I think you'd be doing everyone a disservice.
