Saw Rance get in Aish's face too. Seems to be disliked at punt road

Hes soft and scared in contests, they obviously discussed this and wanted to scare the bejesus out of him so he had an off night.

Strange one as I wanted him after his first session but hes never been the same and now I don't think hes best 22 even in the scums side..

That was 'right in front of me'. Aish was going back with the flight of the ball - sort of - but pulled out as Rance approached in the other direction. As Tt74 says, he's soft. Combine that with his average pace, nothing special skills and extremely outside playing style, and he's a bust for mine.

Was a really promising junior at Norwood but agree that he is a soft squib.
 
It's pretty obvious Dusty is my fave player, but damn son injuring yourself trying to take out the scum toothpick... he was too nice and made it a fair bump but the alternative was weeks on the sideline.

For all the pea brains who think dusty is a nasty boy he actually has to try really hard to be aggressive. Not like cotchy he has a decent old mean streak.
 
Imagine how much money he'd make if he wore/endorsed 'dont argue' gloves?

every person in Australia would get a pair

How on earth does far helmet protect his cheekbone?

yeah, youde think he'd wear an amatuer boxing one, instead of a stupid rugby tighthead one
 
The helmet is not to protect him... it's to protect the opposition!
 
When Dusty does a push-up, he doesn't push himself up, he pushes the Earth down!
 
the helmet he is wearing softens any blow to the skull which could make the hairline fracture worse. Not much he can do to protect the cheekbone short of wearing a gridiron helmet.
 
Reported Cripps will play with a broken jaw - Martin a definite for mine helmet or no helmet

On second thoughts - I wonder if he has tried on a batman mask
