He gets away with this at Sandy by following up on the ground and kicking goals over his shoulder. AFL defenders don't allow this. Send him back to TBBO where he belongs.
Siposs is a much better option for us.

Did anyone catch where it this rumour was from, had they heard something or seen this at training?

It was from this Saints supporter wanker that rings SEN all the time. He knows jack from what I gather. Well he hasnt been right at all anyway. He also said Wilkes will play on Dawes. Got know idea why they would do either of those moves.
Ok thanks, I didn't catch it all but just enough to hear that hosts say thanks for the good oil or something so thought it was legit...

Wilkes may ruck v Dawes, but sure hope he doesn't push back to defence :shock:

Leigh Brown - Premiership player for Collingwood - starting his career at Fremantle, moved to the Kangaroos in 2003, played mainly as defender, but was used predominantly by Mick Malthouse as second ruck and forward - Height 194cm

Beau Wilkes - Height 194cm, Beau may not have Leroys weight or his tank, but he can certainly play a role right now with Blake and Stanley out

Ben was fine. Was beaten in the actual ruck contests, but he got himself back into it. I highly doubt that Leigh Brown is the same height as Beau Wilkes regardless of what some AFL record sheet says.
