Brian Smith article in SMH

What he is saying Napper is you could get yourself into legal trouble.

 

[lsz]

Sure is

 

[Napper]

Not anymore

 

[clontaago]

Nice double entendre btw

I don't see how you could class this player as "coming" from nowhere. He starred at junior level and represented his country. He left the Roosters when he was 18 or 19, that's a bit young to be making a judgement on his NRL future. Harsh assessment in my book, although he is a big unit now.

I remember thinking Gift was a little light on for the physical nature of the NRL when he first started, but a couple of solid off seasons bulked him up and now he is a superstar.

This is the issue

You could make the case about any player who has "developed" or suddenly had a break through season

To go from not being a lock in your club side, to being a lock in every rep side, for me that's coming from nowhere mate

 

[Chip and Chase]

We are obviously thinking of two different players. LOL. That's the problem with rampant speculation and innuendo.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Na we are talkin the same man, he struggled to hold his spot in their side up until a couple of years back with discipline a huge problem

 

[Chip and Chase]

I just looked at last years SOO line ups and there isn't one lock there that you would say came from nowhere. Bird /Gallen for NSW and Harrison / Parker for QLD. ???

 

[MadMarcus]

Did the Roosters let go of Willie Mason because he didn't have enough bulk?

I must be dumb cause I can't think of anybody any good with those clues.

Did he **** on the floor in a hotel?

 

[Garts]

I have no idea who you are all talking about.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Haha lads when I said Lock I didn't mean position, I meant certain selection !!

 

[tookey]

Tariq Simms might debunk Smith's claims of players developing rapidly without drugs

Interesting article in today's SMH, people should be careful with some of their posting

 

[clontaago]

I would be very, very careful in putting names on here guys. Very careful.

 

[Napper]

Yeah someone delete the named posts. Not worth it!

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Have gone through and flicked posts with a name in them
