So basically he has superhuman healing. Cool.
I think our recruiters need to focus more on players with bionic healing capabilities; to avoid the cursed clutches and torturous mutilations of the sinister medic Donavorn.

Good On Him.

Him Being a School Captain shows that he is a Smart Boy
In my experience of school captains, it can also show that he is a bit of a 'suck' or simply the school's top footballer. At the school I went to as a youth, the school captain was often captain of the school football team. But I won't hold that against him if he turns out to be a decent player.

I'd be surprised if a guy like Sam was made school captain off the back of his football, particularly at a school like YVG.

From what I have seen of the kid he doesn't just hear he also listens.

Wish Heater listened a bit more, would still have a Shaw to go with a Moore, a Daicos and a son of Rowdy.

Spot on, carries on like a complete pork chop, if only he kept his head a little more. Nothing has changed, the prelim against the dogs he was screaming like a seagull at his teammates. Some might call it leadership to me, it looks like madness. Every time a player moves on or gets delisted, Bucks is the reason, No as there's always a reason as to why guys like Blair are still on the list, they listen, is respectful, and performs at his optimal level always.

Agree. Heater Carrying On was a Huge Reason we Traded Him. Showed bit of it in the PF.

We got a great player back in Adam's

I wouldn't but that's me, not you. Nevertheless, his results were good and I congratulate him. Hopefully his football prowess is just as impressive.
Keep in mind that the much higher rated Jordan Galluci was at his school too. Sam was made captain for his leadership qualities, not his sporting ability.

Now he was someone that I thought would slide a fair bit. Bloke is scared of his own shadow.
