He certainly can hit defensively. Half of his highlight reel is him folding some c***.

I can see why The Broncs wanted to make him a #13, he wanted to play #6, which isn’t gonna happen at The Dogs and surely he knows this. Probably hoping to make it as a #7. But I reckon before his 4 years are up he’ll be a #13 and potentially a great one.

As much as I love great offensive play.. i appreciate a half folding done c***  just as much…

Was the Broncs issue his position or not being given a top 30 opportunity this year???…



Both, from reports.

I’d  the top 30 one bit more though. Cause he ain’t playing #6 at The Dogs any time this decade.

Though maybe a chance during Origin, but I doubt that was a carrot.

Asked if he was a 6, Gus just said that he was a footballer.

Also no firm plans for him to play NRL, will nor be rushed.

I think, from the admittedly very little I’ve seen of him, he’s a bit like Schuster.

Talented with the ball, hits like a truck, thinks he’s a #6, wants to be a #6, but….. he’s really a 11, 12 or in his case 13.

Broncs were right. Hopefully, and I bet he did, Gus promised him ever opportunity to make it as a #6, knowing when he’s had said opportunity… in Reggies… he’ll want to play #13 in NRL.

Schuster is an interesting case, he bulked up, seem to get unfit, injury prone and started to push plays, he probably just about had the talent to be a 6, if none of those things happened.

The good way to introduce a young kid like this to NRL is play him off the bench. If we get a injury in the halves throw him in, otherwise anywhere in the backrow, perhaps centre if we are short and desperate.

If he wants to be a half, he has to play like a half, running, passing and kicking. If he can do all those things then his size and tackling are a bonus.

Perhaps the closest parallel I can think of is someone like Laurie Daley,  Steve Carter, there have been a few bigger players who have made it as a 6. I am sure that there are bigger bodied players who have made it at 6, but I can't think of a recent example.

Yep 99% chance he will end up at #13, 1% chance #6.

Gus has ruled out a play for Mitch Moses.

He tried to call Marki for advice,  but Albo was on the phone to the doc.

Karl will most likely play in the halves. I think Burto plays a traditional half back role and the kid plays the traditional 5/8th role. Obviously he could move into the forwards or be a superstar off the bench. But I get the feeling we pulled out of the Moses signing to get this kid. Four year deal. He has the skills. It would be nice to have the biggest halves pairing in the comp.

Bigger halves give a team an edge in defence harder for backrowers to run over them.

I watch Karl's highlights, some nice passes and a kick, good footwork, broke lots of tackles.

When halves are a danger running the ball that creates opportunities for their support runners.

Reading between the lines from what Gus said, Karl, BBO, Flanno, Rajab and Hayward could all be contenders.

But if Rajab and Hayward don't make the top 30, BBO is out injured and Flanno doesn't fire Karl is a good shot at getting the gig.

If his trial form is good Rajab might get first shot.

If Karl lights up the trials he might get first shot.

Trails are important for both  young guys.  First shot might be hard to shift.

My understanding is the excise will increase, for beer with an alcohol content of > 3.5% in a container over 48L, from $39.27 per litre to $40.72 per litre. Now if a schooner is 425ml you get almost 2.5 per litre @ approximately 5% alcohol. Now unless I've  fucked this up which I  probably have, it will take almost 50 schooners to get 1 litre af alcohol. 3 to 4 cents a schooner should cover it watch watch them  take advantage of the excise rise. Remember it should not come with any other consequential rises.
Anyhow after all that crap I'm  off to the club tomorrow  night  before  it  all  happens on Feb 1

That’s all well and good if you only drink 50 schooners a day… what about people like me???…

Paid $7.20 at the local yesterday… I think the brewing kit will be coming out of hibernation… I used to get about 14 cartons of longnecks in food grade 44 gallon drum… used the drill press to put the lids on…

I’ll agree now. Trials are very important to test out these kids. One will stand out at training as well. Hopefully more than one even. 

I just get this feeling our right side attack will feature young Karl. Hopefully he kills it in the trials.

Trials are dressed up as a preseason comp, details are very hard to find  on the NRL website

We play Raiders Feb 12 and Sharks Feb 19.

I hope that we use the trials as trials, I don't care if we come last.

The messaging is all over the shop and information is hard to find.

If we don't total 30 points for the 2 trials, the Mock will write our season off.

Such a shame JJJ producers are obviously only interested in getting a job at commercial stations instead of exposing the youth to great and diverse music…

Even the 14-21 year olds in my house have been horribly disappointed with the past couple of years of commercial 3 beats per minute whinging generic trash dished up in the main…

I’m so chill and ironic.. slay… fire…

VB 30 pack cans. Usually go low $60’s sometimes high $50’s on special.

Works out around $2 a beer. Last time you got that at a bar in a pub or club was in the 80’s.

And yeah I know it’s a can, but the thing about a can is you chill it in your freezer, or on ice, and then pour it in a schooner, you won’t get a beer chilled better.
