Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

[BOZO]

I really do worry about Lachlan - he does not seem to place a high value on his body which I appreciate as a fan but worry about him post playing health wise

What an Inspiration Geoff Toovey is .....

The Legendary Premiership winning Great Geoff Toovey did not seem to place high value on his body , was smaller and lighter and played in tougher rep arenas and he retired at 32 Not (knocked) Out .
The Great Geoff is looking Great these days

Agree, but even if both have the same talent and potential I'm taking the bigger guy every day rather than the one who's going to always struggle with size.

Don't remember that statement being made regarding Tooves

Foz might enjoy pineapple on his pizza, while Humphreys can't stand pineapple on pizza - they still both like pizza. I honestly think you'd attempt to argue that with me somehow.

For the record, people who eat pineapple on pizza need psychiatric assistance.

If I changed the words "similar ages", to respective points in their careers (and further clarification for you, so you don't pull apart word for word my comments) - prior to breaking into first grade, would that be okay with you?

I'd better book in with my therapist, thanks for the heads up mate🤪

Hi Maxta I hope all is well in your nest
Please stay away from unhealthy foods like Pizza and substitute your cravings with more healthier alternatives .

Pizza bread is made from refined wheat flower is low in fibre and high in weight gain

Bacon is a processed meat that is very high in salt and the act of this processing in linked to weight gain, heart attack , and bowel cancer

Cheese consists of 60% saturated fat which clogs your arteries

BBQ sauce can cause digestive issues as well as diabetes and weight gain

The moral of the story
We should all respect our bodies as it is the only one we get to get us around 4 Pines Park

You're taking all the fun out of life Bozo, reading this was like a trip to my doctor

Bit of difference in talent and Toovey could bend from the waist properly, Gordan cant which significantly impacts his ability to pass the ball off the ground.

To be fair to Gordy, bending at the waist has not exactly been encouraged by this playing group.

Unfortunately he is the exception (and we do not know how he may pay for it in later years)

 

[ManlyTragic]

Simkins seems to be the Sale of the Century here ???
How much do you think this 22 years old rookie is worth when you say170k and 250K is outstanding cap value ?
Is he worth more than GKT ?
Is he worth more than Croker ?
Is he worth more than Api ?

Yeah ! But have you seen the cost of living these days?

Just sayin’

Life is more fun when we are healthier and are able to fully function and enjoy all life's pleasures
Make more trips to your Fruit and Vegetable Greengrocers and you will make less trips to your Doctor
Take care of your self feathered friend

Chris Minns may have to apologise for you.

Unless it is CTE

Unless it is CTE

Even CTE is DNA related ...
A New study from researchers from the BU CTE Center reveals that the genetic variant, APOEε4 plays a major role in determining CTE severity and that having APOEε4 makes an individual 2.34 times more likely to develop a more severe form of CTE

This is a really smart signing from Manly. The kid can really play but getting him from a struggling club means he is relatively cheap. We don’t need a marquee 9. We’ve got star power in our squad. We just need good service and stout defence. Simpkin gives us both.

Hey Leonard. Your post was WAY too logical and thoughtful for this forum.

 

[Supreme Leader]

Thing I don't get is why we continue with Lawton. He adds zero to the team plus he's going at the end of the season. Any back up we have would be better and also that player gets valuable experience.

Agree. I’m pretty sure he will play this week be interesting who makes way for him.

It’s a very Des like selection.

Simpkin must be delighted to be out of the Tigers

 

[Damien2812]

Gee it would have been good to get API back since his wasting his time and talent at the Tigers.
