Preseason Trials

FTR, I'm not saying Brisbane are one of these teams. Far from it. With our options, we're going to need as many of them as we can get. But I don't understand the pigeon-holing that you're attempting to impose, what seems like, across the board with set numbers of attacking options, and FG standard props and so forth.

 

So you think Dylan Napa, for example, is a FG standard prop?

Well, I think you're mistaken twice. Firstly in implying that Hodges and Barba are Brisbane's only two good attacking options.

And secondly, you're a fucken cry baby. If you don't want to be picked up on the wording of your arguments, then be more careful about the way you word them. I've learnt this is just your go-to tactic. You can't maintain consistency in your argument so you complain about pedantry (all the while doing it yourself). It's pretty tiresome.

 

And being that tiresome, I'm off to bed.

 

Sure. But once he does play, and demonstrates that your speculations were either excessive or premature, you change your opinion, yeah? His attacking numbers resemble those of Dallas Johnson. If he wasn't a genuine hitter, there'd be good cause to criticise Robinson for carrying a passenger (which he probably is anyway).

Either Hunt or McCullough will be a focal point.

 

God you're nauseating. Look, either admit Napa is not a FG standard prop, or admit that if he is, then your criticism of Brisbane not having 6 of them, is rendered void. If Napa counts then so do any number of thus far unproven Brisbane props.

Fucken brick wall, I tell you.

 

I don't give a flying fuck what you predict for the kid in 18-24 months. He'd wanna improve dramatically before then to even be considered. 6m a run isn't exactly what we're looking for in a bench relief.

lol @ you when it comes to props. I thought the Lowrie thing was bad. This is just dishonest now.

 

Napa may well prove to be a better player than Dodds. But there's no way you can include the former and not the latter in a list of FG standard props. You simply can't.

 

I didn't say otherwise. But based on what they've shown respectively, you can't say Napa is FG standard and Dodds isn't. Neither of them have proven they can consistently perform at FG standard.

Yeah, that's well off the mark IMO.

 

No the real disagreement is about what we think constitutes being FG standard. If you think making 6m a run and 20 odd tackles as an impact/replacement prop is FG standard, that's your business.

 

Yes, I considered it. Not for very long. I didn't think anyone would seriously suggest that the line between being a FG standard prop, and not being one is to be drawn between Dodds and Napa.

That's absurd, in my opinion.
