apprenticeships were better served a few years ago, now theres not much loyalty or secrecy about players, shame really

One of the worst replies in history tbh.

This means absolutely nothing lol
I think you need to go back and read my original comment champ..

In which I stated he debuted in the NRL in 2009.

As NRL control both grades, stating he debuted in the NRL in 2009 is correct, just that he didn't debut in first grade.

Haha way to dig yourself out of a hole. I think 99.99% of all living humans would take NRL to mean First Grade, Toyota Cup should be referred to as Toyota Cup or NYC or whatever, but not NRL, regardless of who controls what.

99.99999% of humans would consider FIRST GRADE to mean first grade.

Have a look at what most sites say in player profiles.

First Grade debut:
Debuted in First Grade:

Given the literal definition of debut is "starting something for the first time", then unless you came straight into the game at a first grade level you can't exactly be starting NRL for the first time by debuting in first grade. You can only technically debut in the NRL in Toyota Cup.

That still doesn't disprove my point. If you purposely wrote NRL to mean NYC or First Grade then that's just stupid. A bi of consideration for common language use would have gone a long way.

i have a feeling this will be true, and that tandy wont be sacked at all. i think will go hard for blair in 2011 for the 2012 season and beyond and he will replace ryan.

This. You seemed to be able to distinguish the two in the latter part of your sentence, K.I.S.S.

Give it a couple weeks before you dismiss it completely. There's something shady about the cowboys, two years in a row near the end of season in nothing games (v Roosters, Dogs) match fixing rumours have floated.
