            “They were giving me the name tag of ‘The Food Bill’ there for a wee while, because I didn’t play, and was just collecting all the kit.

            Wasnt Ranby the one that phrase was coined for?

            Jeez what a tough run, great he still has that desire though!!

              @taniwharugby I honestly can't remember who that phrase started with. There has been a long list over the years.

                It was at least Robin Brooke before that when he was injured 1994/1995ish.

                  @nepia at that point he wouldnt have been a 'foodbill' though was he, not being 'officially' paid and all.

                    Well obviously I didn't read any of the posts above so have no context for the discussion. 😉

                    I think it was a tour to the NH when he maybe played half a game but stayed on tour (could be 100% wrong on that I just remember Zinny calling him that).

                        @nepia Yeah, I was going to mention Brooke, and I think that is how the term started, i.e., getting free food/accommodation but not training or playing.

                            He's had a heavy workload, but the thought of running out a backline with no DMac or ALB in Sydney doesn't sound like much fun...

                                    I think/hope we can get away with Tupaea and Nankivell.

                                    I think Sullivan is also officially a midfielder if we want to go crazy ( @Bovidae is that right)

                                    The biggest thing is getting the bench right - we dont want Tupaea finishing the game on the wing.

                                    Up front, I really hope they sent over Moli, Ah Kuoi and Finau or none of it will matter...

                                      @gt12 Bailyn has mostly been a centre but does show good potential as a wing

                                        @gt12 Wainui is over there too so would likely be on the bench if ALB doesn't play.

                                        I don't think Moli is in Sydney but Ross will be back from his rest.

                                          I’m going to the game so I care.

                                          Play ALB, he can rest next week 😉
