Its a pity he wasnt at Bratfurt.

Here we go again, pulling people apart before they've played a game for us.....Let's give him a chance.
Surely Madge knows what he's doing

I hope he does well and regains the form that has been missing since he arrived in the UK!

Think that one may have went right over your head winky.
It was meant only as a joke.
At bradford, any player failing to score a try has to run round the pitch naked at the end of the season.

So sounds very much like BC is playing in the 20's this weekend. Personally I would of liked him to be thrown straight in the 1st team and give a much neded rest to Mossop/Hoffman but I can only presume when Madge has asked if everyones fit they all said yes as who would want to miss out at this moment in time, probably in fear of not getting your spot back!

The 'nudie run' is a given across all the NRL clubs.
In 2006 it was rumoured the penalty at Storm was a 'Nude Bungy Jump' ?
You'll have to ask BC won't you .

We will need big lads if we are to progress successfully on every front. As Hock regains fitness, this should give us enough proper props to play every week till October (with a week off during the play offs of course).
I think he will make our pack even stronger + he knows the Aussie players. A great addition IMO.

(I am prepared to eat a very large piece of Wigan Humble Pie if I'm wrong!!) There is no way I am going to run around naked - the exhibits in Madam Tussauds Chamber of Horrors would object on the grounds of unfair competition!!!!
