And a Epsom salt bath followed by a massage with extras
That sounds like a doing a hammy might actually be worth it. Is the bath scented. Are we talking Thai massage or something more exotic? Come to think my leg's feeling a little sore...
Little wonder he's been less than great, poor bugger is so young to be playing men!

Wayne Bennett could turn to Kodi Nikorima at halfback and bench Benji Marshall
Tue 12 September, 2017
WAYNE Bennett could look to his most successful halfback in Kodi Nikorima to rescue Brisbane’s season as Benji Marshall faces being sent back to the bench.
Nikorima will return to the playmaking position he has been so successful in this season if fullback Darius Boyd (hamstring) is cleared to face the Panthers at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.
The Broncos have won 11 of the 12 matches Nikorima has started at halfback this season.
The pint-sized utility was injected into fullback from the bench in last week’s qualifying final loss to the Roosters.
Nikorima has only tasted defeat four times this year and in three of those matches he started on the bench.
While Marshall’s experience has been invaluable for the Broncos this season, he has been erratic at times and Nikorima’s record is much better at halfback.
“It’s a tough call for Wayne,” forward Alex Glenn said.
“As long as Kodi is in the halves, hooker or fullback, that’s where he is strongest, if he is part of the spine.
“He does have a good record as a starting halfback. But if he has to play fullback, that is still effective for us.
“The key is getting the ball in hand for Kodi and that’s when he is most dangerous.”
The Broncos look to be a more stable outfit with Nikorima and Anthony Milford in the halves.
That combination gives Marshall the opportunity to play freely when he comes into the game and prop Adam Blair said Brisbane needed some stability in the sudden-death Panthers clash.
“Stability would be nice,” he said.
“We were minutes off (winning) last week but we weren’t the best we could be. Stability would be great.”
If the Broncos beat Penrith they will face minor premiers Melbourne in a preliminary final next weekend at AAMI Park.

No wonder the broncos can't and haven't clicked this season. So much chopping and changing. Can Wayne just bloody pick and stick with kodi. What position is kodi training at this week? Fullback? Good leave him there. If he's been training at half back then freaking leave him at half back. People say bennett team changes are mind games etc but I'm starting to think he can't hold his load and shits the bed before the game.

It definitely starts as a Thai massage and then gets really erotic. Oops I mean "exotic"

What is everyone's thoughts on Wayne blasting the boys at training, yelling "get excited!" etc?
Why does the coach have to scream at the players to get some enthusiasm and energy out of them? It's finals, you'd think their attitude would be spot on and their energy levels through the roof.
