C.Biscuit97 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Rugby guys are tougher than Rosie O'Donnell's hymen. By the way, I'd love to be the Bills' Aussie scout. It's awesome down there. And he's a big boy. I don't know if any Aussie player has made as anything but a punter so it would be history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 OK...I am totally on board with giving this dude a shot and coaching him up! HE IS A FU**ING BEAST!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJeodGCjPbc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammyboy Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 If you were the Bills...Wouldn't you be searching for every available, affordable talent? Can't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloed in Pa Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 OK...I am totally on board with giving this dude a shot and coaching him up! HE IS A FU**ING BEAST!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJeodGCjPbc I don`t think he would be quite as beastly against NFL linebackers. Alot of tosses in the open field against slow little white boys. Just my opinion. I played alittle rugby...no blocking no head tackles...no fun. Led to too many redcards and ejection.

mlj1972 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I can say from being a Rugby Player for eight years this guy may have a little difficulty adjusting to American football,but I gurantee that he is tough enough and definitely fit enough to play in the NFL. Some of these guys have NFL speed, but we don't know this because we don't pay attention to Rugby like we do Football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 What position does he play? NT? Don't say he'd play Offense. It'd take him two years to learn the plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites Bay Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Two comments: 1) Watching that highlight reel REALLY made me miss Australia. It's been about 4 years since I've been down under. I came within a gnat's eyelash of getting an expatriate assignment therein in 1996, and I guess I'm still bitter. It would have probably ended my marriage, but...such an adventure. 2) I remember watching highlight videos of Marshawn Lynch as he came into the league as a rookie from UC Berkeley in 2007. This guy was the Second Coming. Care to replay the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I wonder if Chan would incorporate some Rugby-style laterals in our running game? PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 He looks like a tough mofo, with a strong trunk, legs, and running skills. He looks like more of a TE than a LB, but after saying all of that, his arms aren't much bigger than Roscoe's, so I don't know how that upper body strength will translate. I can't see him pushing off even the Aaron Maybin's of the NFL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heels20X6 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 In the worse case, he'd toughen up some of the kitties we have on this team. Maybe we should force him and Trent to be roommates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sllib olaffub Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I've always wondered why you don't see more foreigners in the NFL - there's got to be beasts all over the world that could be special players (Sumo Wrestlers, for instance, maybe as O or D linemen - or, the World strong man competition). I'm happy to hear Buffalo is turning over every rock. Really, though - I know Americans think much higher of American Football than anyone else in the world, but for the money a star in the NFL makes, I'd think someone with the talent from another country would jump at the shot.

This guy was the Second Coming. Care to replay the video? Actually the second coming in that draft was a guy named Adrian Peterson one of the most talented rb's to come out in the last twenty years, Marshawn was known on most peoples boards as the next best guy who was a bit of a reach at 12. I sense your being sarcastic, my thoughts on Lynch when i seen they drafted him were he was drafted higher than he should have been and he looked like a punk with his hair and gold tooth, but warmed up to his hard style of running. Alot of people on this board and on lynchs bandwagon fail to realize even if he didn't get in have his law troubles his style of running are not very inclusive to a very long nfl career, but i guess that doesn't matter when the bills already have a very undrerated by most fans and the rest of the league runner like Fred Jackson and now CJ spiller on the roster!
