Yeah, and the ABC told us that Tilly Yahman was 170cms tall? :lol:

If he was an inch taller than Paul Callery or Roy Higgins was I'll go he. :shock:

But given our situation with Reid, Rocca, Rusling all out injured, you wouldn't think it's even worth giving him a taste of the real stuff? Who knows, he just might relish the opportunity and we've solved a problem. I agree there is a big jump, but he's showing terrific signs and has put in a couple of great games. I reckon he's worth a punt and you're giving the kid a bit of experience of the level required as well. Can't lose.

Yeah, Murphy is listed as 186.

Mind you, I've had Dawes walk right past me on level 2 of the Ponnie and thought he's only a fraction taller than me, which is correct by his listed height of 193.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Medhurst?
Thomas?
Didak?
