Knowing you, as I do - as a relative newcomer to Rugby League - I'll excuse you for your pessimism, but young Islanders almost never fail in SL. Currently, Satae is easily the best prop in the comp - and he came over later than 22. I am thrilled we've signed Pele, and I'm absolutely certain you would be too.

No way is Satae the best prop in SL.

Was going to say the same! Since that run versus Cas, he seems to run sideways to target centres now

I was summarising the opinions of others and, as far as SL goes, they’re not at all pessimistic.

“Belongs in Super League” means the same there as here… but also carries an additional wider meaning, of course.

I am (technically) a part-time professional RL journalist now, btw. And after the weekend my general pessimism may be diminished… or even more deeply ingrained.

Are you Joe Appleyard?

You’d have to be part time as you appear to spend most of your waking hours on this forum, strange that, for a Rovers fan, do you devote the rest of your day on their forum???

Think he spends the rest of the day with his head buried in a dictionary looking for big words to use

More likely word of the day toilet paper, given that’s he’s full of…….

He’d call it a thesaurus, bet he’s good at Scrabble too

Joe appleyards a clown

What, my synonomicon?

Mrs Mild routinely, effortlessly and mercilessly beats me at Scrabble.

I've not been on the Rovers forum but I imagine Mild is a better addition to ours than to theirs. He's the Albert Kelly of posts.

Whilst having a pop at the bulldogs Buzz Rothfield praised Pele today on NRL360

Such a tease.....

So, what did he say?

Didn’t he say he was a “dynamite” player , and Cronulla were filthy to lose him?

https://www.nswrl.com.au/draw/nsw-cup/2 ... -bulldogs/ It's NSW cup but Pele played 38 mins and made 127 meters from 11 carries. 6 tackle busts and an offload too

If we can get 80 minutes out of Pele and Ese together, that would be a real bonus to our go forward.

im calling it now, FC will announce Pele on football transfer deadline day!

Great shout
