  1. Kidding yourself if you think he is past his best. The guy is still a wrecking machine and add AFB and that’s a beast of a combo up front

  2. we know who you are and where to find you holmsey so you might want to keep your personal insults to yourself.

  3. Gday ya muppet Woody. Still hanging around ZT . I guess it’s hard for them to ban all of your log ins at once. Good to see the $16 million salary cap working for you ya stain

  4. Any of the noobs on here who think taupau and afb aren’t both in the top 5 props of the Comp are just either very jealous or just don’t know squat about nrl.
