Nobody believes he is 194cm any longer, The commentators were talking about this for a while and all mentioned that he looks taller than that

3 players who's height is in conjecture and the RFC site does not appear accurat
Ryan Garthwaite , Noah Balta , Riley Collier-Dawkins


somebody should email the club and 'DEMAND' a re measuring


Does this mean our short people aren't really short people either?

Seemed to be a Dimma joke. I took it along the lines that coaches change a bit. He was laughing. Nothing in it.

She ****s up so much that when I see her making a statement in the paper or in print I just turn the page.
What's the odds on her blaming her sources? She normally does when she **** up
Can't ****ing stand her

Assuming he's trying to bait fellow Croats by calling them Yugos...

Not at all. Croatia along with several other countries in the region was part of Yugoslavia when I was growing up and this would be the same for Caroline Wilson. I was merely making fun of the situation and the habit of old codgers in my day of saying things along the lines of "Asians all look the same to me."

I guess referring to a Croat as a Yugoslav might be a bit like referring to a Scotsman as British, I doubt Croats(or Slovenes, Serbs etc) would take offence about it if none was meant. I have spent a fair bit of time in the region and can highly recommend it both for its land and sea scapes and for the people. In fact I watched our 2017 Grand Final win from Sipan Island, which is part of Croatia.

People should not be so fast to read provocative motives into comments touching on issues seen as battle grounds for the politically correct.

All good mate :), just letting you know some could take offense as its a touchy subject, any proud Croat would denounce Yugoslavia and proudly say they are Croatian (look up the Croatian war of independence and its history and you'll see why) not trying to be politically correct just an FYI:thumbsu:
 
While we are on the subject of his background, we need to recruit moar Croatian soccer players. They have superior genetics; big strong lads.

I watched a fair bit of NSL growing up and always thought John Markovski would have made a tremendous footy player. A brute of a man with a thunderous left foot.

Now that I have had a chance to look at my post, I realise what a bloody awful idea I have come up with. Soccer players? ET behave son.

Glad to see you got in before the rest of us on your own idea :p:thumbsu:

I suppose I had always seen that as a war against certain factions within Serbia who had effectively assumed control of what was then known as Yugoslavia. For quite a few decades prior to his death in 1980, Yugoslavia was under the rule of the benevolent dictator Tito who I think is accepted as almost universally popular, and was of course Croatian. I may be wrong but I believe during this period people from Croatia and indeed throughout other Yugoslav countries would see no shame in being identified as Yugoslavian. That is certainly how my world knew them, through representation at the Olympic Games and the United Nations etc. Shortly after this time, when I was 18 years of age I worked with what I now know to be Croatians, but at that time we knew as Yugoslavs. I recall asking them why they left their country for Australia, in my ignorance expecting them to say it is horrible and bleak or something along those lines. They told me that it was in fact it has a climate better than Melbourne's and was a beautiful place with brilliant beaches and coastlines. It was inevitable from that moment that I would go there to see the place they spoke of. None of them ever denounced Yugoslavia as a nation or as a concept, though I have vague recollections of one of them telling me there were different peoples in Yugoslavia.

I was not actually aware of post independence war Croatians railing against the concept of Yugoslavia as such, but if this is the case I might mind my p's and q's on the subject in future and I thank you for the information. :)
