@Bones His tackle stats are top in the competition.

Who?

@Bones Tom Christie.

@Bones Tom Christie.

Yeah not surprised. It's not like he's saving his energy for one of his block busting runs, or trying to move big bodies at the breakdown. He's a great tackler...

I think Christie plays his role well at the Saders. Not saying he should be pushing for higher honours but I don't worry when he starts. He gets his job done. I think the Saders missed him for much of the game on the weekend.

I agree wholeheartedly! That comment even fits perfectly with my original post on the subject 😉

That article above said Newell is done for the year. I missed his injury news, is it just the Super season or has he been ruled out of consideration for the WC as well?

Nanai may not have his old explosion but still has the silky skills

Nanai used to be very effective at accelerating just as contact was about to occur (reminded me a lot of a few league wingers) to break the line. He's always had very good vision as a fullback or wing.

Has this got anything to do with my posts?

@Bones I think @SBW1 hasn't discovered yet that it's possible to post on the Fern without replying to someone else's post. A case of using the wrong "reply" button!

@SBW1 if you're on a phone, that button on the right lets you reply to the thread instead of replying to a post..
