and 2 or 3 *smile*-out-of shakings
Samson is so busy internally shitting himself off that he has lost his main strength - his IQ. Shakings aint his caper, brother. And he's a ruck. Who is responding to the challenge of learning to play football.
Must be not as the mighty oak but as the willow on the wind. And use the ball. I think he'll get there.
A ruck "would not bruise a grape", said Tommy Hafey.
Dante Visentini looks good. Toby Conway is a benchmark. He and Samson had a good duel last year. Got square. Neither of them is worth four bob forward, not to say Dante won't be.
Forwards are footballers, not rucks. It's a big challenge for Samson to learn the game.
