It may seem like we're overstating the whole candy selling thing, but I can't think of a single player in the league who does it more hypnotizingly at the minute. Made Boyd who is a fantastic defender look like an absolute spud.

It's like when you see a soccer player faking out someone in a one on one contest the way he handles the ball, has it on a string.

Fantastic to hear he's signed on til 2020, going to be a real classy player. Gun.

This was a post I saw on the North facecrap post on Jy's re-signing.



Not sure if the guy who posted it annoys me more or the 2 people who liked it.
No, no, you've got Daryn all wrong - he's reacting to the sighing of Jy when he believes that a new coach should have sighed. I think.

Anyone ever met a good Daryn?

(Apologies to any BF Daryns, Darrens, etc)
I should of used the "whos the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him"

I can't stand these alternative name spelling to be 'cool'. I feel sorry for them as when they get to being an adult or close to one; having to spell their name out or people getting it wrong with official documents etc on simple names like 'Darren' would be so annoying.

Anyway I am totally off topic now.

Glad the kid is happy at the club. North is a very good environment to be at as opposed to some of the big name clubs where the pressure may just get too much and therefore creates bad environments. But maybe that is a good thing as it creates a winning edge/environment, I dont know. I just know I wouldnt like it and a club like North (ie Marley Williams) would be good for him.

Hmmm.

Sounds like a Stephen King character or just some horrible pedo.

Personally they are a bit dodge, which incidentally works as well.

Yeah.....Dodge.
What about the Hotstepper?

Not just a once off either, he has done it almost every game. The blind turns and baulking in the JLT were taking the P155. Does it for fun
