****ing **** campaigner****s ****ing campaigner campaignery campaigners shitting campaigner ****s ****ing pick a ****ing tall player for once you ****ing morons this is so unbelievably ****ing ****ed

Pumped a million ****ing games into short people that are more common than sand at a beach but god help us do we wanna play a ****ing tall once in a ****ing while. Noooooooooooo

They’ll just magically appear. And by magically I mean we will have to trade for whatever tall is available because this ****ing team and coach thinks I don’t know what he thinks because it doesn’t make ****ing sense. ****ing moron


Next year Ryder will likely play even less games and come this off season so we know if we have a ****ing capable back up ? No we don’t because when Ryder went down we rucked the **** out of every player who had something resembling form.

Whose the next inform player we would like to put into the ruck so we can **** him up. I swear we could ****ing put Ricciuto in charge right now and his intentional sabotage would probably do less ****ing damage than what has been done this year.

I don’t normally melt but this is beyond the joke of ****ing jokes

The last ****ing straw. We’ve pissed a ****ing season away that easily could have gone another way but for the fact we literally ****ed ourselves with a big old rusty piece of steel with jagged edges and acted surprised when it hurt and thought the solution would be to add another piece of rusty steel to our bum.

These melts are the reason I love BigFooty!

On a serious note, why is Flying High the movie in America called Aeroplanes?
In Brazil, it is "Fasten Your Seatbelts; The Pilot Has Gone Missing" :p

Finally some sense in here.

"The Concorde... Airport '79" was an unrelated film to "Airplane." However, due to release delays of US films at the time, it was released in 1980 in Australia and named "Airport '80." Having "Airplane" and "Airport '80" released at the same time would have caused much confusion to moviegoers, so distributors changed the title of “Airplane” to “Flying High”.

The scene inside the plane when those random **** appear upside down has to be one of my all time favourites.

Not to mention that with Dixon out, Ryder's chopout will be Westhoff, which will leave Jack Watts as our only tall forward, and Jack is historically far better as a second or third tall. And if Ryder goes down again then we're stuck with that forward line for the rest of the game. Frampton just had to be picked this week. Had to be.
Was about to post exactly this. Capital of England to a rectangular bit of clay that Ryder will not see out the match and Ken will look on like a stunned mullet lamenting his lack of options to counter Grundy as he rips us a new one. FMD.

It’s called Airplane! and it’s because it’s a parody of the movie Airport.

The key is that those who have subbed Ryder in the ruck throughout the season were bad (besides Dixon, but that's another matter). Even if Frampton were worse, what could the difference may have been?

Ryder could have rested more; increasing the chances of him being healthier now. The worst case scenario would be precisely where we are now, but no one would be blaming Hinkley for not having played Frampton.
 
Clurey isn’t a key back really - more of a hybrid - so Bonner in would be okay.

Hombsch can replace Howard who can ruck with Ryder and switch forward.

Frampton would be useless against Grundy and offer nothing forward no matter what so I don’t know why people care. He’ll only play as a last resort.

Look, I love Big Willy as the next bloke - but, as someone who attends a lot of training sessions, I can understand why he is not being selected.

BUT, he is the next best big man on our list and we need to play him regardless of his many down falls - the well is all but dry.

Clurey is a hybrid, Bonner definitely isn't. Clurey, Jonas and Howard make up quite a formidable aerial defence. Jonas, Hombsch and smalls, not so much. The result will be that Westhoff and/or Howard will be required to stay back more often than not.

Given our entire forward strategy is based around sitting the ball on Dixon's head and hoping for the best, We could have used a genuine target up there. Instead we'll probably have Watts in the leadup role wheeling around and trying to pick out an outnumbered and outsized Gray or Boak on the break.

Bonner was listed as a hybrid. That’s what the club see him as.

The club say a lot of things. Bonner is great and he's absolutely best 22 IMO but he's not the same sort of player as Clurey, doesn't use his body as well in the contest and isn't as good an aerial defender. We're also going in very short in a week where we have the tallest player in the league in the opposition forward line. Howard (and probably Westhoff as a chopout) will be required in defence.

I imagine our plan is Westhoff to play forward and 2nd ruck, which will leave us with 2 psuedo KPFs who are much better when given licence to roam and smalls up forward. I imagine that unless our midfield shows up, Westhoff switches back very quickly and then we're playing with Watts and smalls up forward.

Frampton should have played a stack of games by now, making his selection this week easy and obvious. We need the presence in our forward line. He's not Charlie Dixon but ultimately what's the point of having a reserves side if you aren't bringing in as like for like as possible?
