That's not the same thing though.

BTW and why not he's a young talented kid I'd expect it the other way round. There's nothing wrong with being "frewn to the floor vewy woughly" and I'd also expect his team mates to muck in and back him up. It's been a big part of the game and sport in general.

Agree with this, it will be good for josh in the long run if he keeps getting through the games despite the extra attention.

He's being targeted because he is good.

Remember one of our Grand Final clashes with Wigan when they took out 3 of our players?

To be fair ( tongue-in-cheek) was that the same final, when Benny attempted to remove Blake Greens head from his neck and shoulders.
