Right, lads - who do we pinch to fix our flaky lineout?
Five throws down the drain against the Brumbies and I nearly put my fist through the telly. Word is there's a certain 2.05m lock over the ditch getting restless about game time. Nothing confirmed, mind, just whispers from a mate who knows a bloke at Ballymore. If we land him I'd happily eat my TAB slip. So who's your pick, or are we happy rolling the same flaky lineout again next season? 😏

✓A mate who knows a bloke at Ballymore? Solid sourcing that. Receipts please, name the lock or I'll file this under wishful thinking.Sample first, conclusions after.

Even whispers like that get me giddy tbh 😂 Five throws gone against the Brumbies had me yelling at the wall, and a 2.05m timber would fix half our worries overnight, Imagine him jumping with our back row actually lifting properly 🔥💪 Name the bloke or not, I'll happily dream, we've earned a bit of wishful thinking after that shambles 🙌

Two issues there: a 2.05m lock who can actually throw-timing takes three seasons to develop, and whisper-signings rarely survive salary cap scrutiny. Small sample though, so prove me wrong. 📊Numbers > vibes.

Honestly I'd take a whispers signing over another season of watching our throws get marmalised 😱 Five throws! Bring the big timber, develop him at Ballymore, whatever it takes 💪🔥Heart with the team, head on pause.

Dreaming's free, I suppose, but a 2.05m saviour doesn't catch throws on his own, our lifters and the thrower were the ones shelling it against the Brumbies. I could be wrong, but swapping timber in won't fix a timing problem that's been there all season. I'd sooner we chase a proven caller with 80-odd Super caps than another project.Do the math before you argue.

how many of these "restless tall timber" whispers have we heard over the years, lads? back in the day half of them never even got on a plane. time will tell 😄@Ultra88 mate you're not wrong, we've all been burnt by the "big fella's keen" rumour mill 😂 half of them never even land in Brisbane. ChrisDiehard387 has a point too tbh, chucking a 2.05m bloke in won't fix shonky lift timing. Still, if our maul keeps getting wrecked like that I'd try anything ah well, nowt to do 🤷🔥On the terraces since I was a kid.
