I actually agree with Lee Grant. When watching I was surprised to see how "big" he was given he was at the end of the playing season and knowing how many fitness/strength and conditioning sessions these boys do. They are usually ripped and buff like most other boys I have observed in GPS. He may have been carrying injuries to have prevented his fitness program. He played well but could be so much better particularly in these fast moving games.

All I said was that Fox would play better without the fat around his waist. He was carrying that extra weight in the nationals too months ago and I was surprised that it was still there.
I was also criticised for saying that he seagulled a bit in the nationals, though he had some fine Higginbotham moments. That was true in my eyes and it may have been why he wasn't selected in the original 23.
If those things are considered out of line about a rep player who is now the Oz Schools captain, half the posters in this forum would be be banned.

Please quote the remarks you took exception to.
Was it when I said he was exactly the type of player I wouldn't have picked to play the Kiwis because he seagulled too much in the nationals?
It was a bit harsh but I don't think it was out of line compared to some of the crap we get on here.
PS Edit - despite my mentioning his seagulling and his weight he was still a pretty good player in the nationals: I was talking about the type of player that I wouldn't play against the Kiwis.
I rated him one of the best in the Qld Red side in a blog, and I wouldn't be surprised if he had a blinder tomorrow because some of the SBW offloads he makes can crack defences.

The Forum rules state:
1. Speak respectfully to each other
Change: "What planet are you on? Player X was shithouse . "
To: "I didn't see it that way, I thought .
2. Speak respectfully about the players
Change: "Lazy fat bugger with no rugby brains"
To: "Needs to come off his wing and get more involved"
Not only are these statement more respectful, they are more accurate. "Lazy bugger" doesn't mean anything specific.

Observing that a player appears to be carrying some extra weight is different to saying that player x is a "lazy fat bugger."
The rule about playing the ball not the man applies to how one refers to other posters.
The affirmative and the negative have both had their say. Time to move on. There is a Test to win tomorrow.

See post #342 above from SE. Just insert relevant details for these boys. Not rough, just part of being a grown up. . . .

However @Hugh Jarse it is my understanding that it perfectly acceptable to make adverse remarks about referees!
I often asked various members of this esteemed group of so and so's if 'their eyes were painted' on?'
If I had of known Tongan back in those days I probably would have expressed my sympathy for them as well! LOL

Daylight saving has already started in NZ so Fox coverage starts at 11:40 AEST on Sport3, guessing kickoff will be around noon.
EDIT: I'll be at work & this site's blocked on our server so I'm hoping stuff.co.nz, which isn't blocked, will be doing live updates. Won't be anywhere as informative/ entertaining as this thread but it'll have to do! Go NZ.

@Waiopehu OB, your mob must be going into this match as the red hot favourites.
Anything less than a 20 point victory would be a disappointment for the Black team.
One thing for certain is that both teams will give their absolute utmost to win this match and there will be nothing left on the paddock at the end of 70 minutes.
