Sunday afternoon starting at 11.50 am, last time I checked 11.50 am was in the morning, perhaps just leave out the "afternoon". Why aren't there any editors these days to pick up mistakes?


WTF "played behind closed doors", I was looking forward to a big day out at Belmore, like the old days.

Now I know why I've put Prop as my second position of most concern behind halfback.

F@ck all in terms of size in the depth of our front row.

Unless we can snag another big Bopper from somewhere, I'm worried.

No Davey or Preston playing Cup - hopefully means more minutes in the main trial. Gives me a bit of hope Waddell’s not locked in for the Rd 1 edge bench spot.

He'll get his chance... Kid just needs to stay patient.
Wasn't he named at 20 for the 1st grade trial? Just outside the 17 along with Skelton is an indication he'll get some chances this year.

Scored a try, had a try assist, no knock ons, no dropped balls (of either kind), no other mistakes and missed zero tackles. What farkin more do you want from a back up winger?

So he strung 40-50mins together without a f#ck up… good on him!

If I can quote T Baz “HMAS Knockonbur is a 3rd or 4th string winger in the club”

He thrives in his natural habitat.. against Reserve graders ... where he belongs.

He will definitely get a few games.. especially if he impresses through cup.
