Remember that time when Boyd convinced a heap of the playing group to go vegetarian

Yep, but it was worse: it was vegan. And he got the idea from TV. Here’s what happened next:

NRL star who went vegan after Netflix doco goes back to eating meat

Former Broncos captain Darius Boyd adopted the plant-based diet at the end of last year's season after watching The Game Changers.

I look forward to Huge's post game analysis criticising Cobbo of everything he's refused to say about Isaako, although it's been blatantly obvious for a couple of years now that Isaako isn't a fullback's arsehole

Huge when Isaako makes a mistake vs Huge when any other player makes a mistake

does anyone know if herbie is injured?

Been some good laughs the last few seasons.

 

[WASSHHH]

The normal thing will happen. Every player that has a run at fullback will barely be noticed. Won't matter how poor they are, like Air Swing Nui , any blemishes will not even be commented on because it's not Isaako. When he didn't play we were appalling, when DB wasn't there we were still appalling but it didn't make any difference, just as long as it wasn't Isaako.

Fortunately fans aren't allowed to pick the team and how weird is it that Isaako keeps getting picked? I'd have given Isaako a shot at 5/8th ( in the trials ) but I'm just a fan.

One game at NRL level is still greater than 155,766 posts on BHQ. A career?

Bit rich to have a shot at someone / people for criticising a player (Isaako), yet in the same post, criticise a player (Niu).

And FTR; despite being available for selection, Isaako did not play rounds 22-25 last year, playing out the season for the Magpies in QCup instead. So it would appear he didn’t keep getting picked.

Because I know you love facts, I knew you would appreciate that one

Still waiting on that 60 from last week

Still waiting on that 60 from last week

I'm kind of just hoping we end up with a +60 differential at the end of the season!!!

They used to have such a gun forward pack, now they have JT2 and a bunch of plodders.

Notice he autocorrected to Turpin when he meant to say Paix?

 

[Xzei]

Think it is a good call to see what turpin can do against tired defenders as much as to see how paix goes starting

The thing Tesi Niu and Selwyn Cobbo have is that their occasional errors will be forgiven as they're still just getting going in their careers, can't say the same for Isaako.

I just find it fascinating you still can't see how average he is, I have actually conceded that you're trolling on the issue and have us all lured in, if so, well played. If not, there's hope for you yet.

I enjoyed the interview where Kevin corrected the reporter saying he moves like Selwyn Cobbo, not Latrell

I get annoyed by comparison to Latrell and GI. Latrell copped it too, he was always compared to GI and I struggle to see how it's not a racial thing, why not compare him to a caucasian player? It's obviously not a bad comparison but why are these indigenous players being compared with other indigenous players?

I actually think Cobbo moves more like a young Trbo than either tbh. Obviously not implying he has the same ceiling but I think the comparisons aren’t even the most apt.
