I thought Dane was a league player before deciding to go Union.

League players may all be boofs but not all boofs are league players?

So that happened

Nope.
Boof as in short for boofhead.

@crucial I fail to see how you don't realise that's even worse phrasing

The only users of your definition are those that need a word to describe their actions. Is that how you knew it?

Boofhead has been kiwi/Aussie slang for decades.

@crucial it's a joke, never mind. I know boofhead from NZ, I'm going off my Ozzie days when a bloke might have "boofed her".

Par for the course.

I think I first heard that one on the ‘12th man’ tapes ( yes it’s that old )

But yeah back on topic, he’s flapped his arms without doing much lately, not unlike Kieran Read in his last couple of years. When an AB reaches that stage it’s time to go.

@pakman is that the boofed up welcoming committee?

Its funny as I've never been much of a fan of TJP but as a Roosters fan, I actually reckon he could go alright with us.

[Paekakboyz]

@jk I think he'd be an awesome league player. Esp with his (limited) exp at 10. He's got a decent boot and we've never had any concerns about the physical dimensions of his game.

[booboo]

On reflection I've shifted my opinion slightly: I'd like to have our cake and to eat it too.

I'd love to see him have a crack at league for the rest of the season and be good at it.

Then I'd love to see him back for Super Rugby. As a number of posters have said we need to hold on to the experienced guys to maintain depth and pass on his experience both by playing and mentoring, and I believe that he is capable of regaining form, if he remembers to do what made him good in the first place. But based on last year's form ...

So Paul Cully has just published this, it appears there is genuine interest

@bayimports I don't see the article you posted, but I assume it's this one?

[Bones]

@stargazer yeah looks to be.

[ploughboy]

can someone explain to me why we gave perenara a sabbatical. i thought these were given out for loyalty and to extend there all black career.
and why was a sabbatical given out at the end of the contract with no return confirmed .

[Stargazer]

@ploughboy His loyalty was never in doubt before someone started publishing articles about the Roosters trying to sign him, about 2 weeks ago (which may only serve the purpose of his contract negotiations with NZR, by the way). I agree with your last sentence.

[booboo]

Was he given a sabbatical or just not signed up at the conclusion of his previous contract?
