I believe you mean capiche.
Which is what I put in the post earlier although it doesn't mean end of conversation at all, it means something along the lines of do you understand.
Now why don't you put your iphone/blackberry away and listen to the teacher and you can learn some other interesting things today.

I don't know what It means,I think It's in French or Italian or whatever,not that I'm all bothered about it anyway!



So which RL team do you support?

Warrington of course.
Certainly none of that union garbage.
i do occasionally watch the odd game to see how ex league players get on, but only if picking my eyeballs out is removed as an option.

Hows Monas doing?has he signed up again? big loss for us he was!

he showed signs at the end of last year of his NRL days when we moved him permanantly to hooker. he's got the 9 shirt this year. But for 18 months he was bloody cr*p.
Hicks is well past it now I think, he looks a bit slow and is probably in his final year with us as there's juniors coming through who are probably better.

Grab the money while you can me thinks.Crap or not they still get payed, that's all that matters to them!

He's gotta live here for 4 years.
I'd imagine he can't go through the motions for that long.
It will be an interesting season ahead

Has he signed up for another 4 years?

Stupid move by the club,if he ain't performing.

His original contract was 4 years I believe.
That could have been Matt Kings though i'm not sure.
If you're paying someone with a big rep big money, might as well tie them down to a nice contract. They've both been pretty gash though, King hopefully has put some size on in the off season.
When you guys were in Leeds last year for the WCC Hicks and Monas went to see them and your boys were suprised at how much muscle mass they'd lost.
We have a (wait for it) Rugby Union conditioner in this year who's apparantly put some size on all the players for the new season, like I said, going to be an interesting one

dicos alrights. hes a RL fan after all.

i suspect he has an odd daliance with union when our backs are turned but ill forgive him for that

me, if i were to start a thread on why i hated union, i would be making 100 unique reasons for it

vichy scum

when we kill off union in oz ill be dancing on their grave

I remember seeing him at the SFS,during the finals series in 2008.And I asked hows the North of England mate?His reply was excellent!I said are you ever thinking about returning back to the eagles?his reply was highly unlikely,I'm enjoying my stint with Warrington!

About losing muscle,he looked quite built back then.What type of traning do they do to lose so much muscle like that?

As for this conditioner bloke is he on a permanent basis with them?what's Warrington paying more then union would?

There's no salary cap on what you pay your staff is there and he'll be there a few years. It helps that they've just moved to a new elite training facility (about 3 minutes from my house actually).
Monas was unhappy and you could see it in his performances. The second half of last year both players seemed to be more settled, I believe they've moved from their original location. Ive a feeling both live in Manchester now.
Rugby League is such a high octane sport you can easily lose muscle mass as there's no fat to burn through with such intense cardio unlike Rugby Union where they just build and build power 'mass' whether it be muscle or fat it would seem.
It's such a delicate balance in League between power to weight ratio because you've got to be super fit and sometimes in Rugby League I think players sacrifice size and power for mobility. The off season in England is very short and this often doesn't help.
Matt King in his first year especially just didn't get over the advantage line that he did so well at melbourne, little half breaks wouldnt turn to line breaks and so on. If he worked on explosive power (pace) off the line he'd have scored a hatful more last year I reckon and i've seen a video to suggest they're doing that this year.
Lastly Manly are known to be leaders in Sports Science over there, it would make sense that once on UK programs they maybe, well, aren't as good as the Manly one

Manly are renowned for many things,especially pinching of players from other clubs.Which gave them the tag of being the most hated club in this country.Even though it has eased off abit.But doesn't stop people still bagging us!


That's why we're one of the most successful clubs of all time!

Not being antagonistic, but are they? Really? Or do you mean they'll try something stuff from other sports that haven't been tried by other NRL clubs yet? Like the calves blood thing.

Very good English lol.
