Not seeing the issue?
in how many of those 199 games did we not, at some stage, have our hearts in our mouths whenever the fresh prince had the ball?

Could be his partners baby from another marriage?
Could be she is older than him? .
Could be the a baby was a surrogate baby adopted from Thailand where they left the twin in Bangkok?

Then again could be you are right :wink:

Welcome to the club Travis! :)

I must say I'm very skeptical about this recruitment and I'm still very unsure of whether he'll be a good recruit for us or not but I'm willing to give him a chance and prove me wrong and I'll back him for as long as he's wearing the black and white.

It will be interesting to see how Buckley uses Varcoe. Some are suggesting that he may play off half-back and make use of his pace and his supposed kicking skills to get the ball out of the defensive 50 quickly and he may also play in the forward line where our forward line is struggling as it is.

If Varcoe replicates his 2011 form he'll be a handy player for us, but if he's anything like the injury riddled period of 2012 and 2013 then I'll be concerned about this recruitment.

Anyway he's here now and hopefully he makes use of his opportunities at a second club.
