you took the time to write all that when I'm always going to use the term halves, good boy Originally Posted by Titanic
Ah ha, the result of too much Foruming and the affects are starting to show [head bobbling with a nervous tic].
No reasonable person should argue that the abbreviation of two halfbacks is not two half's.
Nor should anybody argue that the combination of a halfback and 5/8 somehow morphs into two halves ... two halves of what?
In fact a 1/2 of a 1/2 is a 1/4 and a 1/2 of a 5/8 is 5/16 therefore the so-called 'halves' (sic) should each be 9/32nds.
Of course they are not, but they are 1 x scrum half (the original name of a halfback) shortened to 'half' plus 1 x standoff halfback (the original name of a 5/8) also shortened to 'half' of which the plural is half's.
It may be easier to say halves rather half's but like a good golf grip you get used to it ... I rest my case

WOW. Think that I need a glass of wine to try and fully understand that. I love a challenge. ;-)#TitansThruNThru #WeAreReady

I wrote it because the recruitment debate is getting very tedious. It's a free world and considering what social media has done to the language then who cares at all. Originally Posted by teke

What do you mean my post was defensive! I attacked not defended! Originally Posted by Hail Sezer

You and GT101 can sit on the other side of the fence on this one, i'm willing to accept that. Apologies if I sounded defensive, but in all fairness - your post sounded 10x more defensive :eyebrows:
Anyway mate happy to just have separate views on this one. Nothing wrong with that and we can fortunately do that without the vitriol that happens on LU when people disagree.

I'm leaving Sadtown. Looks like gotitans101_ took over my lease. What really concerns me though is when are we going to sign another quality 9/32? I just wish Dobbo would stop linking us with anyone cause he's always wrong.
In all serious though, if we keep a massive war chest going into next year we will be in a prime position to pick up everyone that gets sacked after mad monday celebrations. With any luck Thurston will be named the Face of NRL and we all know that's a kiss of death and then BOOM he's all ours! (Disclaimer, this wasn't to be taken seriously regardless of my opening statement)

Nine News apparently said tonight that Ash Taylor met with the Titans today and he should hopefully be putting pen to paper in the next few days. Let's hope it's true!

Also said that the Broncos might not be able to keep Parcell due to salary cap restraints.
