Ask willie mason how his brother went at football. les was bigger than willie and was the softest prop ever to lace on a boot.

Wouldnt say softest ever but didnt live up to his size. Played against him in 20's, got a video here of him spear tackling our 5/8, punching holes in one of our backrowers then getting sent off. But yeah, he wouldnt have run for thirty metres all game. Genetics hey.

You know what i mean, just wouldn't put in, wouldn't make metres etc.

exactly, they have the same core ingredients, it's ultimately up to the individual what they do with them

As per the Morris/ Mortimer twins...
What if by fate the frogs bought Andrew and David kicked on here instead..
We could be having the same debate,, wondering if Andrew was any good and a potential buy..
From what I read of the article, the main reason he left Australia was for a lifestyle change.. Doesn't mean he wasn't or couldn't cut it here as a fit first grade league player..
Andrew owned George Burgess... who knows whether a motivated, fit David F.. couldn't outmonster the other Burgess twin..
It is NOT out any realms of possability.
As Hamsy said ASK Andrew

Cheers. So any chance we can bring back Paul Mellor out of retirement? I think he's a tad better then Pomeroy.

David Fifita can play. He captained Wests reggies a couple of years ago. Kicked goals as well. I saw several of his games in reggies and he could make it if he was motivated. I would look at signing him because he can play not because of who his brother is.

The Robinsons are an interesting comparison. At Cronulla in the lower grades, Travis was the one with the wraps but neither got a run in firsts. A few years down the track, Reece gets a run on the wing at the Broncs and ends up playing firsts at Canberra whilst Travis was struggling at lower levels. Now both playing well at NRL level.

Sometimes it comes down to timing and opportunity. Peachey has been excellent in reggies for 18 months whilst Feki has been patchy at best. Yet Feki is now a starter and Peachey is lucky to get a bench gig because we are weak out wide but strong in the backrow.

I've heard Poms has about 12 identical twins, Flanno is in discussion with them as we speak

With all this talk of wether or not David Fadita can live up to his brothers quality.

I dont see any harm in having a sharks rep inquire into it, check out a couple of his games in france and then go from there. What if he is a gun and ready to come home, he wont be as picky about the money cause hes made some decent coin.

If hes ****e leave it at that.

Yeah it can get like that at times.

What you don't like people who disagree with you. Let me let you into a little secret just because you think you are right it doesn't mean you are. I still hold to what I said and i really don't care if you agree or not.
