Finally a centre square mid with endurance

Him and Simpkin are going to transform us

Not to mention our new list manager who we got in the nick of time.

 

[ferball]

New what? I didn't know we needed one.

 

[Yoko and me]

You never know when you are going to need one. Best to keep one on your speed dial.

 

[Shapes Original]

Dunno how much stock I can put in this sort of claim without seeing him in a match environment.. I'd say coming back from the op he'd be a bit ginger as a matter of course.
If it's true though he should just spend a few nights out with CZ, that sorta confidence is infectious

More about his personal confidence and willingness to get into contact. I think his fitness has taken a little hit too

Typical Crouching Statistician, Hidden List Manager scenario.

Where are you getting this information from? Images of him training without strapping? Or his results in the 2km time trial? Or the reports that him and Jy have turned up in ripping nick? Hmmm just makin s**t up it sounds

I’m a bit sus on that poster tbh.

I’m a bit sus on that poster tbh.

Not alone there. Straight away started posting mildly negative opinions or info that sounded somewhat involved. Wasn't going really going to say anything, because a forum is made of all sorts and it's not my role (and not necessarily fair to them), but that thread they made today made me roll my eyes a bit too much.

 

[ferball]

Honestly felt the same for no discernable reason but he's only been negative about 2 players and its not unique criticism of them. Same with the draft thing.

He's not the only one to have misgivings about that deal.

It's the vibe. New account, no attempt to describe who they are, authoritative posting, mildly negative thoughts on all things. Then there was that quite bizarre thread they created too.

 

[ferball]

Could be someone we already know with a new account, hence that stuff.

I'm guessing that rather than a troll. Either way though, I've had a hard time taking anything posted by them at face value.

Probably for the randoms thread...but, how many do you think would have an alt account? I don’t think there’d be many, but I think the ones that do have several.

Honestly. Why would you bother. One account on here is tedious enough at this time of year.
But in saying that, those last 5 or so posts between multiple accounts about someone who may have an alt account could have been by one person with multiple alt accounts.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Dunno why anyone would

Half this board would have alt accounts.

Apparently it makes you clever.

 

[Kangaroo Cat]

Maybe shapes original IS LDU

I big to duffer, bru.

The kid will be a gun.

This

All that needs to be said.

 

[Rusty Buckets]

Where's the evidence?

 

[King Corey]

Where's the evidence?

There's no evidence any kid on the planet will be a gun.

There's either kids who are already guns or kids who have observable traits or performances at lower levels that suggest they will be.

Such as almost single-handedly dragging their junior team to a win from a long way back. Or going top 6 in their club's preseason time trial despite an interrupted start due to surgery.
