But I much prefer the aggression on the limit of legality such as that Morley hit on Harrison Hansen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrSgXz9B7pA

Acceptability definitely depends on the recipient

A great oak has many branches.

That's all very Master Chen Ming Kan....

Up there with fishing trawlers. The fact is if it looks like poo and smells like poo it probably is poo

I think it was in the first sentence of the thread where you said:
"Its been a while since we actually had a decent aussie."

That did suggest you didn't rate Vaughan either.

I have absolutely no dish on his play.
He is one of the best props at Wire since Morley.

My gripe is tongue in cheek and a bit fed up in a mixing bowl.
He has this uncanny luck of playing against poor teams that I would argue help to enhance his stats, and then for getting lengthy bans during school holidays, where the big fixtures are mostly scheduled.

Yes it is all down to unfortunate, but I wish I was as unfortunate at the bookies and lottery.

MONSTER

We were a bit flat today. He sensed that and gee'd us up at key times, came up with a good try and a good shot at the time we needed it. True leadership

Yes, best player on our side by a mile but was also playing the captaincy role in the second half: setting the standard and clearly leading the talk on the field. Fantastic display.

James Harrison isn't doing a bad job either. We have a pretty good pack this season.
