Quote: Jake the Peg "All very good but my point is that roopy claims there are players in reserve grade in the NRL who would "rip it up" when there are plenty of regular 1st graders come over and don't "rip it up". Now the aussies may have plenty of good players but surely the best ones play in the 1st grade?'"
'Rip it up' might be pushing it, I agree. Aussies use generous euphemisms though. 'Average' actually means 'cack' there. Maybe 'rip it up', would be 'does awright fer a fat lad' in Hull.
