    @Kiwiwomble said in Highlanders 2024:

    what does "Raw boned" mean?

    All bone and muscle. Think Todd Blackadder, John Jeffrey etc.

    He comes across as a young Stirling Mortlock to me.

    I think we can all agree Liam Coombes-Fabling isn't 101kg and that is his problem.

    @SouthernMann *one of his problems

    i think you can be small and good, even if we dont go to any AB's, at least Finn Hurley has made age grade teams....so im at least willing to see what he can do

    Nareki has proven he punches well above his weight class

    @bones not that i remembered i assume the Etymology is because cooked bones are soft?

    Although I have a sneaky feeling the LCF rumour is probably true. We currently have three wingers. Peobably need another who can play fullback. He fits the bill. Midfield will be the interesting recruitment point.

    i swear i might just give up if he is the kind of player we're going for this early in the process, another 15...that wants to play 10...but is needed on the wing...perfect

    Nailed it. He is a 15, 10 and winger though. Haha

    @Kiwiwomble I wouldn't flinch at Retallick being described as raw-boned.

    It was used to describe pretty much every white farmer loosie type back in the day wasn't it?

    @Kiwiwomble I know you live in Oz, were you also raised in Oz? How did you make it this far without hearing it?
