BBO is going to be a gun. Mad running half with a pretty good kicking game aswell! Hopefully he shows his best during the nines and gets upgraded to the top 30

I haven't followed him beyond being curious after he disappeared when he was talked up on here. Spoonman mentioned above that he was playing for Camden too. If he's anything like my cousin he might enjoy being a big fish in a small pond talent wise. I guess it's just unfortunate that players that have promise don't always progress. In some ways it makes you wonder how so many players these days that do make it into the NRL can throw it all away with stupid behavior.
I reckon there’s a big difference between the amateur and professional eras. Back in the day footy players had jobs and didn’t earn mega dollars - they played because they loved the game. That’s obviously changed somewhat and although there’s mostly quality blokes in the game there’s a bunch of grubs too. There’s been solid efforts to keep players on the straight and narrow where needed but some will always stray. Time, money, and sometimes not being the sharpest knife in the drawer isn’t a great combo.

I heard today Corey Parker is playing. That must be at least half the teams playing a legend now

Knights, Bulldogs and Broncos only ones I can remember off the top of my head. Who else is there? Dragons another with Nightingale. Somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 of teams with a legend.

Michael Gordon as spoonman said, Pat Richards for the tigers, Nick Davis for the roosters. That’s almost half already

Of course we end up in the toughest pool of the lot

Be good if we can spring an upset but that looks unlikely at least on paper

I'll be honest I don't even know who Nick Davis is :P. So it's about half and half. Ay okay I just googled, he's an AFL player that explains it...

This is why it's scary with with Remis to centre... With Odo, Wakeham and Averillo getting stuck behind others. Hopefully when the time comes the powers that be make the right decision

Yep, its all over the media here (esp MMM, where is missus is on the breakfast show). Alex Glenn apparently not going though.

9s tournament is perfect for Dean Pay to experiment with his 'bringing the madness'..

We have already witnessed Pay’s madness

- selections
- game plans
- disdain for trials
- use of interchange
- press conference dribble
- Mad Monday debacle

But before Pay lovers come at me let me just say 2020 I’m willing to give him a clean slate to showcase his coaching prowess’
