Picking a full back for the Bulls is a bit like picking an England wicketkeeper. All of the candidates have their weaknesses, are likely to do some good and bad stuff and its probably best just to go with whoever's in the best form.

Also wonder if we've considered using dave as cover for the halves, as he was originally signed as a halfback.

Personally, I think he may be useful coming off the bench at Hooker whilst Wagga is injured. His defence is usaually solid, his passing is reasonable, and his pace might be useful running from the play the ball.

Agreed. That really is nitpicking of the very highest order.

pretty certain I've seen tries disallowed through not been grounded before hooter sounds in past. other scenario would have been a catalans player shoving him into touch while he was coming across to the sticks and if you watch the try back there were a few cats players within reach. Should have grounded the ball the instant he crossed - the conversion wasnt necessary to ensure the result.

He could have been whisked into space by aliens in their rocket ship. Pretty sure I've seen that happen in the documentary on Jesus 'Life of Brian'.

It's a point. Anything could have happened.
A meteor could have hit him.

..but as long as he didn't drop the ball that would still be a try as soon as he came into contact with the ground.

Technically, no, it couldn't. Meteors burn up and vaporise in the upper atmosphere.

A chunk which is solid enough to make ground level is called a meteorite.
