Sunday is the Sabbath for quite a few religions lol

I grew up Seventh Day Adventist so mine was Saturday. Very strictly enforced too so I know where he's coming from.

That explains that facial tic you have...:glasses-cool:

The great All Black Michael Jones (the Iceman) was devoutly religious and wouldn't play on Sunday - he was a notable omission from the 1991 World Cup Semi Final - in which we won and went on the win the whole thing...

Less of an issue in rugby but he still kept to his faith when it mattered.

John Folau anyone?

Parramatta centre John Folau is being shopped to rival clubs just six months after the club re-signed him.

Folau, the younger brother of Wallabies superstar Israel, made a barnstorming start to his NRL career earlier this season.

TOP STORY: Farah set to report for Wests Tigers pre-season

After a series of impressive performances, the Eels extended his contract for a further two seasons, until the end of 2017. But the 21-year-old, who scored four tries in seven first-grade appearances, has fallen out of favour and is being offered to rivals. The development further clouds Parramatta's centre stocks - Will Hopoate is taking the club to the Supreme Court after it allegedly reneged on a lucrative contract extension.

Parramatta came within a whisker of securing Israel Folau before he switched to rugby, but the dithering of the NRL at the time practically gifted him to the 15-man code. John's presence in the junior ranks was one of the reasons Izzy wanted to wear blue and gold, but it appears neither will be there in the future.

haha negotiate a release from Parra, make them pay some (they love doing that). He'd be a good pick up, but no walk up starter either

6 ft 4 in, 112kg at the age of 21

that's a decent sized centre

 

[snowman]

Cant tackle but id be tempted to take a punt

 

[Sutty]

He'd be worth a punt. Parra are a schumozzle.

Word is that Damien Cook is going to Rabbitohs. Makes Lichaa feel a lot safer I reckon.

Cook looked like he offered more than Lichaa IMO.

If true Robbie will be a Dragon

I think he offers more than the bloke leaving the Rabbitohs as well. Looks a damn good player.

Worth having a crack at Danny cook. He had a couple of cracking games for the dogs.
I guess it depends on who is going to offer him a no.9 Jersey.

Agree, it it's judged on hype, Liicha is the better player, on performance, Cook eats him alive.

Granted, Cook only played the last 5 or so games but I tell you what, I'd take Cooks 5 games he played over the best of the 5 best performances Liicha played over the whole season.

Yarra Shark, you out there, you'd have to agree with that?

 

[Gumby]

Liicha is ****. Glad we let him go.

Yarra only comes in when a Yarrawarrah junior leaves the club and then carries on like we made the worst decision in the world lol.

 

[Gumby]

No to John Falou, would rather Marmim Barba from qcup, bloke is a freak!

 

[snowman]

i'd take john folau and barba

both could be something special if given a proper chance

 

[Proud Shark]

M Barba would be cheap, and if parra chip in for folau both would be quality depth options.

Broncos are reportedly going hard for teo, but may have to make room in their cap to accomodate him. Would happily take oates or ofahangaue off their hands, many others too.
