Laurie been working on his halfback skills?

 

[BDA]

that's a real disappointment if you're a tahs fan

there's hope for us all...I always said I was a half...funnily enough never got picked there.....

doesnt that remind you of U8S.....Coach "What position do you all play?"....answer .."I'm a 5/8th or half" or the tough ones always played number 7. It was always quite sad having to explain to the 5ft high by 5 ft wide number 10 that he probably would have to lose a "0"..

I walked into under 10s pretty much demanding the no 1 jersey

It doesn't count if you're 23.

On a slightly related note, Spotted Hoiles having coffee with Adam Freier at the new Seven Seeds cafe/tent at Docklands this morning...

Also played in the 1st XV at Waverley College together.

They've been friends since they were kids.

I'd actually forgotten that the Tahs were in town until I spotted them together..........

I did a double take, because there's absolutely no reason to come to Docklands unless you have to work here...........

Anyways, they've got good taste in coffee.........

Is anybody willing to back the Rebels tonight?

Man, the heart wants another epic victory like the last bout at AAMI Park but the head says it ain't gonna happen.

The scrum battle will be interesting, hopefully Smith and Kepu get to match up against each other at some stage. I'm also keen to watch Skelton and Jones' play. They're vastly different players and the contrast will be particularly enjoyable, especially given both are locked into the Wallaby squad.

 

[rugbysmartarse]

should we add "underdogging" to our GAGR dictionary?

Not sure if you would find that on the GAGR dictionary or urban dictionary.

If you get the chance tonight, compare the relative sizes of Skelton and Jones.
I'm a fan of both, there's just a huge difference that can't be denied when it comes to weight in the scrum, bending the line and hitting and hurting people.
Hopefully Jones can keep up his high work rate efforts against a large and physical Tahs pack, because it will sap him of energy.

Yes, precisely.

Or live there
or want to watch a match at Etihad.......

The people that live in Docklands have too much money and not enough sense.........

Seriously, if you could afford to live in Docklands why would you choose to?

And Etihad is right next to Southern Cross Station, so you don't have to venture too far into the wasteland to watch an AFL match.........
