Re: 2023 in review - Trey Mooney

It's baffling how he has not been given more opportunities in firsts. If we lose him to another team I will hold no grudge against him, but I will be angry watching him tearing it up for another team

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2023

Can offer the eels HSS and Hoppa for Sanders and we still win that trade Can bring up a kid to fill their depth spots, barring disaster they don't play anyway and just occupy a roster spot ala Clay Webb or Valemei before he left Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Throw in Levi to sweeten the deal

Looks like Haas is staying at the Bronco's for 1.2m a year. Middles are the new spine as far as salary goes. Might make it a bit harder for them to retain Mam I guess.

Split halves

Hoping the greenhouse patrons will be able to help solve a disagreement I had with several friends whilst watching the footy at the pub.
We couldn't agree on who was the first team to play split halves and play a left and right centre instead of inside and outside centre.
Does anyone know?
