How is he gettganes over Banks  :banghead.

Incredible. If mcqualter wants to go down a different path to Dimma then start doing things different.

Give banks, sonzie, and cumbo a block of games for the rest of the year, and send mansell and hugo to the blues for a plate of wedges.

William Webb-Ellis?

Can’t be sure , just a touch before my time

But I can confidently say, yes, tough in comparison

Perry Ellis , the famous American fashion designer

Without knowing the ins and outs of the fashion industry, safe to assume also extremely tough in comparison

Dunno about that but Webb-Ellis invented Rugby when he picked up the ball during a soccer match and ran with it - which at least indicates poor footskills and perhaps a fear of bruised shins, though it also clearly demonstrates a willingness to put his head over the ball which probably nullifies the Hugo comparison but I'm all out of Ellises at this point.  :shh

Well she could probably hold her own if a cat fight broke out on the runway - not too sure about Hugo at this stage though... :shh

I was thinking she would charge in for the hard ball and scratch anyone that got in her way

There is good news for Hugo in this scenario

He’d be no chance of getting scratched

Worst deliverer of the footy I've seen - even Grigg's aimless bombs and up & unders into the forward 50 had a better success rate than this bloke's targeted kicks.... :shh

His disposal is his best asset

His liability with ball in hand.
