If we keep voicing concerns over issues like this then we will be in good hands!

Can anyone tell me what is that extended thumb and little finger crap all about.

I have seen pictures of Ferguson doing it...Lodge doing it....other Gen Y's doing it...

are they meant to be gangsters or something ??

Please don't me that is it...or I will piss myself laughing
people of low socio-economic backgrounds have adopted this hand signal as their greeting to one another when they meet amongst individuals of average or higher intellegence. They also use it as a beacon of sorts, traditionally the first person to use the signal buys the beers.

O Dear !

This 'old bloke' thinks you are referring to a 'surfers hand sign' ? that goes back a long time :?

Thought I'd best check,(since my grey sponge holds a bit these days), & found this Shaka sign
hope the info helps ;)

Thanks BR.....the link was useful !

Not sure what the relevance or significance is to the non surfing Gen Y's though.

The older I get...the less I seem to understand... ::)

Good news...let's all hope that the re-education and re-wiring process for Matthew Lodge has begun.

So not much recruiting really. Like we're going younger though. Tbh losing young players is never good but I wasn't really impressed with McGahan that much.

Hopefully Vave stays and I'd like to see Avvaa too, he's been impressive in the Q cup IMO.

McGahan was great up until he broke his leg early in 2012. Came back this year into a team without a help at 1, 7 and 9 and had to play out of position.

Would have been a better 6 then Hampton IMO.

I did hear the George Rose story about two months ago and posted here. I think the Mole is behind the times or he has been reading this site and getting his information!!!
