Don’t think pocket battleship is the correct term, maybe pre lockdown but not this year.

Yusuf is occasionally helping me coach my community side and I couldn’t believe how he has developed over lockdown. Grown a good couple of inches and added significant muscle.

He certainly looks the part of a super league prop now physically and I think there is a little more natural height growth in him. I hope he doesn’t add too much muscle to his frame as perhaps his best asset is his engine, he gets through a lot of work and too much muscle may impact that.

Thought he was outstanding on his first spell on Thursday as the aggressive Wigan forwards certainly targeted him but he gave better than he got in my opinion.

Sometimes you just can’t win on these forums

I called him that because last year YOU insisted he was a shorty and was nowhere near the six foot others claimed and I believed YOU!

So forgive me for not being close enough to realise he’s now a lighthouse!!!

On a more serious note I stand by the comment, in historical terms Pocket Battleship doesn’t refer so much to tonnage but to firepower balanced to tonnage.
Meaning the Bismarck was not the biggest battleship on the high seas but she had the most relative fire power at the time.

Looking at Aydin he may have grown but he’s still not a Walmsley but judging by his shoulders and legs he’s got the fire power.

As stated previously this is not Parliament and your not Hansard, it’s just a quick comment forum.

Have to laugh though being lectured by someone who’s posted more agenda riddled nonsense on here than the rest of the forum put together.

The word irony simply doesn’t do you justice, brass neck does.

Why don’t you just admit it you saw an opportunity based on what you had been told to put down a forum member who does not accept or follow your doctrine. The information you received was wrong but you claimed it be your own and that was your error.
I note you now believe Chester deserves a contract extension is that based on his ability or your desire to keep in the good books of your new emailing friend our Chief Executive.

Don’t try and play that card with me I’ve been around far to long to fall for that. Mine was a trifling misunderstanding, you’re the biggest two faced snake on this forum.

Why don’t you just admit it?

I didn't take enough notice on the day. I'm glad people think he's done well. I'll have to rewatch when it's on Trinity TV.

They warmed up right in front of us and I must admit I did notice how much he has bulked up recently and was also impressed with his performance too...keep up the good work, Yusuf

We appear to be losing it, did I hit a nerve. I don’t remember being two faced in fact many on here will probably state the opposite especially with regards to Chester.
I will let others decide who is correct, maybe you should just hit the ignore button, then you can continue to believe the world according to Vastman and your acolytes.
I will leave it because this topic is about local talent and I would not want to be accused of derailing it.

Belt up both of you.
Either post something about the subject of the thread or don't.
Sniping at each other is painful for everyone else.

I have noticed there is always a common denominator when you make this post don’t you.

It takes 2 Scarlett

I'll apologise if you can find the last post you made that was to do with a game with no relation to another poster or Chester.

Re: Local talent : Sat Jun 26, 2021 4:34 pm  

A lot are to do with the games and Chester because they are both interconnected don’t you think.
