Something else to put out there on the daft lad theory. People have their own views and I respect that, but I have mine.
I was at Thorpe Park Spa last week whilst the England boys were there, and was talking with James Graham, Sean O'Loughlin, Mossop, Sam Burgess, Tom Briscoe. What surprised me is that none of those players had tatoos at all. I just thought it was the in thing with these players, and to me no surprise that the mentality of those covered in them always seems to follow the same way.

You got me. You wrote something silly on a message board and I responded to you. Good job.
You're a winner, clearly.

Thankfully sibbs i'm quite a likeable and level-headed bloke, so I don't need to engage in such sycophantic activities. You on the other hand failed to read and comprehend before criticising, got caught out, before trying to backpedal your way out of it. Neither of which are particularly likeable qualities  |

Peacock seems to be covered in plenty of ink - is he the exception that proves your "rule"? |

As others have mentioned Peacock is covered in 'em but it hasn't appeared to stop him being a model professional, whereas Graham from your list above perhaps isn't but that didn't stop him gnawing on Billy Slater's ear in the 2012 NRL GF ...... so I think there will always be glaring inconsistencies with this particular theory. |

I accept there will always be inconsistencies. I actually pressed submit as I was about to put that Sam Tomkins was also there but was covered in them. Then again on the field his daft lad mentality could be questioned.
I can honestly say that I never saw that tatoo on Briscoe last week in the pool. And embarrassingley I think he was stood to me with his left arm facing.
i still maintain what I put though, and do think Peacock is an exeption, because he too wasn't the brightest tool when he was young, but has matured since, and I bet all his Tatoos were when younger.
It doesn't apply to all, I am not saying that. Just pointing out that the daftness seems to follow those with this sort of addiction. |

You don't even need to defend what you said to this guy. The rumour you heard is true and we are already talking to other full backs.
The statement Zak brought out was a generic smoothing over statement to please the fans. Nothing more, nothing less.

Quote G1The development , however, will further alert Wigan Warriors who are known to be keen on securing the services of the 2012 Super League Young Player of the Year if he becomes available.'"
This deal, by the way, is as good as done. Leeds and Wigan are just sorting out payment. I will gladly come back on here and eat humble pie if I am wrong but the only thing in the way of it not happening right now is an agreement on a fee. Brett Kearney had talks with Leeds over the weekend (and this is not a "rumour") but I have heard a rumour we have spoke to another fullback too.
At the end of the day the Bulls need to reduce their wage bill. Kearney is a high earner for them and Leeds need a good full back for next year. Kearney fits that bill. |

This was taken at Peacock's last game with Bradford: (sorry if anyone finds this image offensive)
which suggests the bulk of the work he's had done on the visible sections of his arms was carried out post his arrival at Headingley - as a 28 year-old.

Anyone re-call how last season (IIRC) Brian McDermott was highlighting how a lot of young players were too easily distracted in his opinion while highlighting Zak Hardaker as an example for other young players to follow? |

You will be wrong. But if it means anything, I wouldn't pick you up on it anyway. Good luck with Aus mate. |
