Fatbastarding: NTA log
-
What position are you going to play? I'm a slow wing, but surely 115kg halfback is taking the piss? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I'm still of the opinion that its some kind of candid camera setup. :nta<br />
<br />
BUT it seems there are only two guys with decent halfback experience at the club, for two teams. I have fuck all experience playing halfback, and my left-to-right pass is shit so I'll have to Joost my way through if it happens <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> I'm prepared to work on it, and am already feeling a damn sight fitter, so maybe I'll be a 110kg halfback :whistle: 4th backrower and all that - Justin Marshall with pie boost anyone??? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
As it is, any two-team club has an unsettled 2nd grade lineup depending on who turns up. In 4 weeks they've tried 2 different halfbacks and 3 different flyhalves. I've been looking at where I'd come off the bench, having already excluded centre and wing:<br />
<br />
Fullback: Could be done - my kicking is still good, if a little rusty. Some of those set moves required a heap of wheels tho :nta<br />
Second Five: Starting spot seems settled, but opportunity for crashball in the second half is there. Nathan Grey style, but without psychotic intent <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
First Five: Possible. Kicking ability won't come into play that much because it appears to be ball-in-hand or else. I'd also have to run those plays a few times at training.<br />
Halfback: As above.<br />
<br />
I've also considered blindside or 8 in a pinch. Openside might be above my lung capacity at this stage - though we're really playing two breakaways... -
So, fat, unfit, shite ball-handling and 115kgs. <br />
<br />
Did someone say, "Second-row?"Â

<br />
Kirwan might have a point about wing though - if I play right wing then my poor pass distance of 5m doesn't come into play :nta -

Nick, you're over 1m 83, you can't pass, and you're fat.<br />
<br />
From S14 stats, you've got donkey written all over you.. :twisted:<br />
<br />
Now, say goodbye to your ears and push like you're told! :knubble:<br />

Sorry Nick but thats Post of the Week in my mind -

<br />
Wrong on two counts - I [i]can[/i] pass, but compared to the beauteous release of my right-left passing action, t'other is an ugly duckling with one leg. I'm also just under 183cm <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
So, you're a short donkey.<br />
<br />
But take it from someone who had to quit for 6 years to get out of the front five; once in, never out, so get out there and do that PR work for Shrek 3. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
:2funny: that's gold Thomond<br />
<br />
Nick, you could embark on a rigorous sprint training regime to get yourself up to speed. :nta Or would that be like flogging a dead horse donkey? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Cunny funt aren't ya cane toad? :knubble:<br />

You didn't win them over with your charming personality or reasoned arguments? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> One is shocked....<br />
<br />
I'm off to Rebel Sport to buy headgear :whistle: Got to protect my good looks... -
Tell me about it. If I'd stayed in the slow rows, I's have a locked-down panel slot in the best non-pro team in Munster. Plus I've got technique. Curse my svelte figure! Â :tickedoff:<br />
<br />
Mind you, being staying in the interesting row has been. given my... oh, how can I put it but in your own words? - [quote]charming personality or reasoned arguments? Â One is shocked....[/quote] an effort. <br />
<br />
Which, given that there's a wandering 8kgs has shifted 50cm north, Ms. Thomond approves of muchly. Â :coolsmiley:<br />
<br />
Get out there, ya lardo! Â :knubble: :coolsmiley: -

How many knocks to the head does it take to detach your retinas again? :-k -
Fuck it, Ms Thomond would be only delighted to go back to Sydney and I reckon I can still outprop most of Sydney. Fuck it, me, NTA, Phooey, three-way tight-head duel, floor of the Nelson after a gallon of Boags, who's up...? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Only a gallon? :nta I'll have Three Sheets then... if you want Boags, I'm sure they'll serve you down at The Orient with the other commoners :whistle: <br />
<br />
We should leave Phooey out of this - if I'm going to be talked to death by you then I don't want him sitting there and adding to the cacophony by criticising my listening skills <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

Besides which, he's a lock <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
