What's the collective noun for a bunch of ****s ?

'Chookpen'

See, this is why I believe we should offload him. Only 27 games in 6 seasons of First Grade Rugby League. We just resigned him for r a further 3 years, yet that money could have help to keep Manu with us next year...

I thought I'd be agreeing with you but when I compared Teddy's and Billy's injury list they aren't far apart. Teddy between 2012 and 2016 had an ACL, cracked fibula fractured patella, shoulder injury and broken jaw. 5 longish injuries in his early 20's. Billy between 2020 and 2024 has had 3 ACLs , shoulder, Lifranki foot, ,broken jaw, and now fractured foot , 7 long term injuries. Teddy has had a really good run substantially injury free since the age of 24...maybe as Billy is now getting to that age, his overall strength may put his run of injuries behind him. We obviously will have him to the end of this year. If he comes back in 8 weeks, round 11 and has an injury fee run we may yet get the best out of him.

Bloody hell .... Billy should be given the nickname of "Holden Captiva"


Feel bad for him but seriously when do you stop and say "Perhaps, I'm just not meant to play in the NRL ?"

The fact that he keeps backing up after every injury shows his loyalty to the club. I hope he's back soon.

It's a couple of months, we're stacked in his position and he'll be available for the business end of the season.
