finally a good news storey for us and he delivered - great stuff hope you keep going Yengi, you got the build and more to learn onwards and forwards.

Absolutely. It fills me with pride showing how much they deserve it because they outright earned it via promotion. Another mooj moment.

On Yengi, so happy he's gone up. He was important for Portsmouth. I think his playing qualities and his performances suggest he can make the step up. It's just massive news for the NT if he can perform in the Championship. 

They refer to it as the spine. Full back, centre half back, ruck, rover, centre half forward, full forward. Basically your tall players plus best midfielder. It's an AFL term. 

I guess the equivalent in football would be GK, CB, CM, CF. Basically your best players through the middle of the field. 

Aussie drools fans refer to it as "the guts" 

Lot of football fans in the nrl unlike afl so wouldnt be a surprise

So gk, ball playing cb, defensive mid, central attacking mid and striker?

What? League is played laterally. There is no spine. They've pinched that from us.

Sweeper, CB, CM, Striker. There's your spine. Bottom to top. As in the spine in your back.

I've seen it mentioned with keeper and then the centre in each part just to describe how solid each player is for their team in the respective role. Not the most common phrase however.

Rugby league has a spine - fb, 5/8, hb and hooker, what would be the equivalent of a spine in football?

Excited at the prospect and plenty of football to be played. In a perfect world they forked out for Robertson and loaned in Gauci and Souttar :D It'd essentially be the national team spine.
