YEP just like that for me - its a gift horse in the mouth, we have moaned groaned for years of X decent player no picked or they sitting on the fence, take the opportunity with both hands its not like we have many to pick from that have played at his levels - well to me that is.I've been saying it for years too that the deadwood needs replacing and by not doing that we've lost Segecic and Triantis but now Volapto can come in just like that?
Well he may kill it or may not but he's well worth finally now he startng his Roo career.I hope he kills it and I know the relationship was built up over time but why couldn't we have announced him earlier. Maybe the players were privately informed of such plans as to keep the camp in the loop.
This is a great question. Mabil v Velupillay who do you pick? Velupillays pace. Mabils caniness. They both have production.Mabil a good player and a steadying influence on Nestory..i'd say Popa's mate Velupillay will miss out.
Awer Mabil based on experience.This is a great question. Mabil v Velupillay who do you pick? Velupillays pace. Mabils caniness. They both have production.
It could just be as simple as he was waiting for his parents to give him the blessingWell he may kill it or may not but he's well worth finally now he startng his Roo career.
Timing of announcement ? well you can't wait forever or right timing, the sooner the better so paperwork gets done and he's in camp.
Who knows what has gone on behind the scenes and tbh it really no matter to me.
I reckon pace at tired defenders is pretty attractive. But cant split them.Awer Mabil based on experience.
True but it’d be nice to give him one last dance. Other countries are doing it for their stars: Argentina with Lionel Messi, Brazil with Neymar (if he’s fit), Croatia with Luka Modrić, Germany with Manuel Neuer, Portugal with Cristiano Ronaldo, etc.I reckon pace at tired defenders is pretty attractive.

Why am I getting Don Corleone vibes?It could just be as simple as he was waiting for his parents to give him the blessing
Cristian Volpato should be jumping ship to Football Australia from the Italian federation in the coming days though given how close we are to the World Cup and the fact that we've submitted the necessary documentation well in advance.Sometimes it’s delayed. Laura Hughes didn’t get put on there till after she got called up for Wales for example (you can check the dates too to confirm this).
Edit: last year Wales called her up on 19 November, switched on 1 December and débuted on 3 December.
Seriously turn it up.True but it’d be nice to give him one last dance. Other countries are doing it for their stars: Argentina with Lionel Messi, Brazil with Neymar (if he’s fit), Croatia with Luka Modrić, Germany with Manuel Neuer, Portugal with Cristiano Ronaldo, etc.
Yeah I'm pretty sure he was already following the roosWonder who the extra account is that he started following? I.e. from 905 to 906.
What a fuck wit25 minute difference...

I wasn’t attempting to compare Awer Mabil to any of those guys. I was just saying that he could retire in the same tournament they will be.Seriously turn it up.
I’d give any of the above their own choice when to hang up the boots but to compare with either in discussion not very likely sorry.
It’s the number one story on News.com.au.It's kind of sad this isn't mainstream news and only the hardcore fans will care about this
That's cool!!It’s the number one story on News.com.au.
