Billy is rucking pretty damn well .. and Hickey while injured now has been pretty good so i would say its not really effecting us much ... the question could be asked though if he can take such larg chunks of time off and it not effect us much is there really much point in him being there at all ?

i dont know i know very little about what Jollys role on a day to day basis with the rucks is ... maybe someone who sees training regularly can say what he actually does

What is the meaning of the urban slang 'firecracker'?
A "firecracker" is (usually a woman) a very outspoken person who doesn't sugar coat what they say. The person "goes off" easily.

it seems to me that Hickey has improved greatly

Longer has made steady progress

Pierce is reported to have taken a few strides forward

And Holmes is developing nicely

Maybe the club is happy with the job he's doing and are happy to give him some time off it means keeping him and not paying him more

If fire cracker means mental, then yes bratty is right.

No it started filming weeks ago.
I was at a restaurant nearby last Thursday night and it is nowhere near completion.
In fact, there was no signage or anything else around it to tell you it was The Block.

For those interested it is next door to Misty's Diner on High Street Prahran, opposite Swinburne.
