Player Watch Billy Frampton

[noideaatall]

Great first quarter when their big bloke was out. Improving every week but still not Cameron. I hope the form he has developed in the ruck translates to down back. Adds versatility to the side, more so than mcstay.

 

[Bogsey]

I am genuinely surprised at the guys speed. He looked very sharp around the contest, chasing guys out of packs and at times, he was lined up on the wing. His athleticism is great. I seriously can't understand how Adelaide couldn't find a role for him.

He gives us so much flexibility now when Cameron comes back. He would be a dominant 2nd ruck. And rotate Cox and Cameron forward. McStay may not even need to look at taking ruck minutes!

We’ve gone from no ruckman to needing to trade half a dozen or so.

A couple of weeks back I mentioned Billy will prove a revelation in the ruck.
I'm like a frikkin seer.

I'm guessing you have a bathtub. Unusual for Thailand.

We should have booed Adelaide for their poor treatment of our Bill.

I'm confused by the bathtub. Drinking the water?
Last night I went out for a midnight swim and got stung by jellyfish for the first time in my life. Both arms itchy and sore today.
Not as bad as first imagined being stung by one of these creatures.
Barman was quick on the scene with a bowl of vinegar.
10 minutes later he gave me a bong to relax. Put it on the bill though.

My arms are covered in red pimple looking shite.

Sorry to hear that. Wish I had a personal barman, I'd work em to death. Anyway legends always have their own bathtub. That bong has dulled your senses.

 

[noideaatall]

FJ, I apologise. She who must be obeyed but is rarely heard, due to hearing issues, assures me legend in your own bathtub is not a thing. Changing tact I assume you have one of those multi-tiered lunch boxes?

 

[Wearmouth]

It'd be a tight squeeze if we had all of Cameron, Howe and McStay fit.

Geez can you imagine if they gave Billy some rests in the forward line now that Cox is back. And he actually kicked goals also……woooweeee

Just warning the Mods. If Billy was to have a day out in the forward 50 and kick 3 or more goals. BF would be forced into meltdown……

Now that Frampton has shown his versatility he’s moved from fringe to best 22.
I can’t see how he could be dropped.

If Oleg keeps doing what he has been these past few weeks. He could also cement a top22 spot.

These two blokes oooze versatility.

Yeah I'm hoping Cox and Billy split ruck and forward, but Coxy came back playing the same low mid 50s game time with a similar split that he had when playing with Cameron - perhaps they don't think he can play bigger minutes with a big rucking role?

 

[TakingThePies]

He has better tap work and follow up forward and defensively than Grundy.

very hard to shift Billy he has a strong core,he can take a grab and his kicking is fluent for a big bloke,both field and set shot kicking. I don,t know what went wrong when 1 on 1 v Ladhams because he put the cleaners through Lynch against Rich.

Not sure how that would look on the bill.

Some scoffed at comparisons with The Anvil in pre-season but he's living up to it. (And similar cult potential).

If I was there I would have pissed on that bite area for you regardless of who was watching. your health is more important than people seeing my wang, well, that's if they can actually see it

Not on his face. On the affected area…

I know FJ is in Thailand. Not too sure he is into those things.

Billy say it ain’t so……Injured.

You’ve carried yourself without fear and put your best foot forward. And for that the Magpie Army salute you and your efforts…..

Rest up champ…….

I feel like playing Ruck without conditioning for that position is one of the worst positions to transition to unprepared.

Hopefully just a simple groin and not something long term!
