How was T. Roosevelt a war monger??
[/QUOTE
Whilst I wouldn't want to take this thread to another topic, he was a chief proponent of the Spanish American war that lead to the annexation of Cuba (supposedly on humanitarian grounds for the Cuban people's liberty), which led to the country becoming a holdout for corrupt American businessmen and led to the rise of Castro. As a result of the war, the Americans also claimed the Philippines from Spain that had gallantly fought and succeeded in freeing itself from colonial rule from only to be put through a bloody war with the US to crush their independence that resulted in the use of torture and the deaths of some 600,000 Filipinos.
It was criticized by Mark Twain among others as counter to American ideals of liberty.
Whilst I can't deny his many accomplishments and admire his willingness to push progressive ideas, if the Spanish American war was fought today it's proponents would be war criminals.
You can argue the Americans were better colonial masters than the Spanish and I wouldn't disagree but the war to achieve it cannot be justified by that.

Broncos Stat to Fix: Attacking kicks

While Brisbane were able to scrape into the top eight in 2019, their season could have gone a lot better with some more polished execution with their attacking kicks.

Another great clue to the Croft signing being a master stroke.

The storm's huge score here can only go down after snaring their halfback.

If eels were to top score, and they finished the year losing just one round later after we did, we did extremely well getting there WITHOUT having this in our arsenal.

2020 is something to get excited for
 
Meyn in the CM reports today that Arthars is putting real pressure on Isaako for the fullback spot.

Another article out today saying that Arthars is firming as a contender for fullback. Apparently putting pressure on Isaako. I couldn't read the article due to a pay wall.

It makes sense, Siebs recruited Arthurs for a reason.

I think he'd go well there. I wish the backline wasn't jammed up with players like Boyd and Bird so that he could get a spot in the centres or on the wing. Looks like there's no room though.

Well at least we can ascertain that McC is absolutely second to Turpin in the pecking order just by how large the label is lol

As a matter of fact, if you really wanted to get psycho detective about it, you could imitate the names and subsequent label sizes in MSPaint then compare it to the board.

Fluff piece. From everything I've seen / read, including the interview today on the Broncos website says he's been training at centre and wing. I don't believe he has trained at fullback at all. He even said his goal is to debut for Broncos sometime this year. He knows he's behind a couple people and will likely need some injuries to get a look in.

I do like his attitude though, but I'd say the plan is for Isaako to be fullback and if he hasn't really secure the pot by June 31st, then Niu will get a shot.
