He has all the attributes to be successful there too.

 

[Morkel]

First time I've had the time to go through one of these lists....

... Canterbury is spelt wrong :)

 

[Big Pete]

@soup I went through and bolded all the new faces in the 17. When it came to the reserves, I only bolded the players who came into the 21.

Also starting from last week, I've been updating team lists ASAP just to make it easier to see what changes have been made.

the 21's looking a bit weak this round ... although

 

[BroncsFan]

He has all the attributes to be successful there too.

Except maybe defence... looks a little undersized and now they've got him in the front line.

Lucky cows only have Hampton on the right with Shane Wright.. I could imagine Drinkwater having a field day lining up against him

 

[Kimlo]

Legend. So convenient seeing changes at a glance.

Agreed, @Big Pete is a legend.
I'm thinking we should all stump up & shout him a night out at a house full of escorts...
& replace @Morkel's new BHQ banner with a pic of Pete in nothing more than a sombrero hat with a hooker giving him a BJ.
#make it happen!

That escalated quickly.

 

[Waynesaurus]

That escalated quickly.

I would suggest the sub title on the banner would be 'go hard or go home'

 

[Big Pete]

Sorry to go OT for a sec, but @Big Pete needs to come back to SVRL, as coaching director for the Busted Bastards.

Ha! Judging by my Supercoach performances I think I'll stick to teamlists.

 

[Midean]

Cmon Raiders, destroy the bunnies for all of us.

FML Cooper Gronk commentating, time to crack out the whisky.

 

[Galah]

The broncos can’t even do a simple back play like that! Zero depth in attack

 

[tommy]

Fake hia @Kimlo

 

[ZTop]

Fake hia @Kimlo

He definitely got hit on the head, but he's clearly got a major limp, something's wrong with his calf or something

 

[Brocko]

I absolutely despise that rubbish on Youngs head after he dropped it. Souths literally shoved his head into the ground with force when the bloke cant protect himself.

Meanwhile last weekend, Bulldogs were penalised for essentially a slap on the back of a sharks player when they dropped the ball.

So fucking inconsistent.

 

[ZTop]

Just no
