Andy Farrell - Fantastic
I saw him in his first international against the Aussies (I think) at Wembley. He played the second half of the under 18's match and scored, and then went on to play the first team match and scored again! He was brilliant. He looked a little like a pig at 18, but soon grew into his features.
Unlike Gary Connelly whose pretty face was gradually mashed up over his career.
I always thought that, post Shaun Edwards, he was the Wigan teams heart.
And foot obviousement.
What, Farrell? Yes I think he was. I hope he does well in Union.
His debut was against NZ not Oz as I said earlier.
Shaun came down to us, and I was lucky enough to meet him several times in the clubhouse after the games. He's one of my all time favorite players ever since I saw him on an interview talking about his facial injury. "Yeh, I broke me eye socket, me cheekbone, me nose, and fractured me skull in this tackle, and didn't want to come off 'cause we needed to win, so I didn't let on I was hurt" Pauses reflectively then laughs, "I must be a bit of a nutter really"
Fantastic.
Farrell came down to union last summer. He's not yet made a single mistake.
I didn't he'd played any, being injured and all that jazz.

He's played a key role in the ardous game which is RL for over 13 years. We've put him out to grass in the gentler world of Union, where he can recuperate from the pasting his body has taken in RL for more than a decade.
Union. Where League players go to retire. Fact.
:PQuote:

Mind, I do agree that RL is a tougher game, so did all the Welsh and NZ players, who had to do extra training to get up to speed, that I saw go there all those years ago :)
Piss-ant. Don't mock my grammer. I'm scanning a book for himself and am not concentrating properly.
Is there some kind of PMage going on with the explicit aim to confuse me with non-sequiturs :huh:
You're working too hard and getting paranoid.
I think I've worked it out - you're JPaul.
Btw, Emo Dave told me last night that I'm you.
I remember watching Bath play Wigan (I think it was Bath). One half under the rules of each code.
The League players could play Union in a not badly way. The Union players were pish at League.
No I'm not.Quote:

You really do need to be fitter and league IS a faster game.Quote:

Yeah, but it's purely physical with you.Quote:

So Straightening your hair is gheyer than having curly hair. I don't think so lil ghey dude.
I don't think so either :huh:Quote:

That is why The is going thro' such emotional turmoil at the moment. He can't reconcile the fact that he has feelings for a fat, middle aged, balding Scotsman.
Manker just wants a BJ.
Oh Bother!Quote:

Who is threatening you! Tell us and we'll protect you with our manly arms.Quote:

That's why we had to up the spamti and make sure they didn't move it.
Like the press ups thread. :blink:
Press ups are for pansys. I prefer doing them upsidedown and pushing gravity away from me, much harder.
Laters chaps. I've got to go and cook something for the worker man, and I'm guessing he'll want the laptop when he gets in.
