Re: The OFFICIAL filum thread 2.0.Accept no substitues.
Netflix’s IO is a refreshing take on the end of the world cataclysm movies. Slightly less depressing than The Road.

118 point in 24 appearances for Sale, not too shabby. Looks like he has more freedom with the ball from when he was playing here. Cleaning tight phases for the FH, and box kicking at the Lions? He had the freedom at the Lions but Sale is probably managing his Ritalin dose better than the Lions did ...

A very enthusiastic player that puts his body on the line and leaves everything on the field. Is his game error prone?
