Sounds good on paper. Why did they finish 12th?

Jock Madden doesn’t make our 17 either next year.

Yea, he probably doesn't. But I feel he would be playing for us this year.

The Donkeys were versing Melbourne or Penrith, blast I can't remember who and it was Origin or something so it was all B grade players. The lineup looked better then our first grade.

They Finished 12th. But they have a lot of players who are tops in their positions. Haas, Carrigan, Walsh. etc.

Did Madge sign Jock when he was here?

Exactly, it's rhyming slang and should not specifically offensive. Unless Americans find "Yank" offensive, but that just comes from Yankee. Term was very common during the war years to refer in a positive way to Americans.

Not sure the space would exist for the block plays. Wests under Fitzgerald in the early 60’s were the first team to play right on the gain line. They had ( according to my 99 year old father) great success with it because there was no reaction time. The lack of time and space would challenge the modern players in both attack and defence!

If the modern players had 6 months to prepare for it, change fitness requirements, and practice competitive scrumming then they would certainly win.
