It's not bad but I'm only eating it if someone else has bought it. Too many better toppings on offer.

Anchovies!

Yeah, I had a heap of it last night, but I didn't pay for it and had a lot of red wine. Pretty much all pizza is good in my eyes though

I always said you can't trust a person who doesn't like pineapple on pizza.

So you don’t trust the whole nation of italy?

Haha, trust an Italian? **** no

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

**** pineapple off.

Ridiculously early I know, but I reckon Bo is a long term captain at WC

definitely shows he is up for it taking on Gov and going ok.

 

[Bender_]

Bit of Italian bashing going on on the board tonight... and that really burns my canoli!

Barnett and Shanahan training down back and looked good apparently.

Be interesting to see what the fans thought who watched

 

[stallon]

I wonder if Shanahan playing back is due to the injuries to Jamo, Edwards and Bazzo, just to make the drills work or if thats the long term plan for him

The KPDs we have fit are Gov, Van Es, Brock and Barnett I guess?
vs 4 KPFs Allen, Waterman, Reid, JWilliams
Shanahan just an extra there

I dont know exactly what they were doing at training but it sounds like Shanahan in defence is the plan?

That’s what I assumed all along, that we were intending to employ shanahan as a defender. Especially when he said he played better there in his first presser….Lots of good forwards start down back and then move, and vice versa. It’s not set in stone. E.g Gov and Oscar

Our mids better be putting on heaps of pressure this year, or our defence will get sieved!!

The weight will come off when it needs to

A philosophy I live by.

Yeah thats what I was on originally, but everything I hear here is Shanahan is too good as a forward to waste in the backline.
Personally id be happy with him just training as a defender, as the Gov replacement.
I dont think any of our other key backs are really suited to playing that role, Bazzo maybe but hes not as good a prospect as Shanahan is and as we know he cant stay healthy.

Great isn't it, 1 or 2 of Shanahan/Barnett/Archer may fill the void in defence we have currently and become a quality KD with time.
Our young KP players in JW, Archer, Shanahan looks very talented, throw in Barnett if he doesn't progress in a ruck role and ends up a KDEF of quality and we would have to be happy with that!!
No mention of Maric in training reports? Where was he playing?
Onwards and upwards.
