You do wonder whether the days of the "big bopper" are on the way out. Pele and Esse Esse look as cumbersome as Dinosaurs in the first half.

The new rules as they are and as they'll move on even further next year will have an impact on the success of certain types of player. Big lads could do with some after training yoga classes to learn to bend their backs.

Yes. We should clone six Donaldson's and be done with it. But you know what I mean. Looks like "big boppers" are going to have to be big, athletic lads with really good technique. Otherwise they'll more liability than asset.

Well tonight has certainly got me hyped for tomorrow, the cleaner rucks will work in our favour with how RS wants us to play, FC were dire but KR certainly seem beatable next week on that showing. Hope we go out there tomorrow and place a marker for the season to come, very excited to see this team play

Every game.

Sorry Shabs, you're totally off here, it was a huge swinging arm to the head of a player on the floor, red card all day long and there was absolutely no need for it.
