        โ€œThey were giving me the name tag of โ€˜The Food Billโ€™ there for a wee while, because I didnโ€™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. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                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

                                    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...

                                    we can't make the final. we can't come last. we're playing our 4th game in Australia. Who actually cares? get some experience in to the kids.

                                    Be nice to keep the Waratahs losing streak going though.

                                    i do hate me some Waratahs

                                    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 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.

                                          Nope, annoyingly had something on at the time as both the time and getting to venue is much nicer than this weeks game at Brookvale.
