    We have a 35 y/o punter from austrailia with only 4 years exp. in the NFL, was he a rugby or soccer player? Just curious to know a little more about him.

    Wow, you really are the Newest Jets Fan.

    He played Aussie rules football. His 4 years experience are with the Jets. He kicks lefty, and that had previously been a big weapon, since the ball spun strangely so it was harder for the opposition to catch. He's had a problem with shanks over the past season and a half though.

    That pretty much sums him up.

    OK, I admit it, packer's fan since I was a kid and the only players I know with any degree of certainty on this team are Favre, Franks and Carroll and wish I did not know Carroll. Google doesn't give any real depth or opinions like I would get here. OK now I know he shanks. We'll see.

    There are some Aussie's who visit this board often. You can ask them all about Graham and they'll be happy to update you :up:

    Fosters tastes like piss. No I haven't tasted piss before, but if I did, it would taste like Fosters.

    Now how did I guess that ??

    Welcome to the pits of football hell where hope springs eternal and hearts are broken on a regular basis.
    I hope you're still with us at the end of the season. Only the strong survive as JETS fans.

    Hey flyer, why do the Yanks think we drink Fosters? No one here touches that shit. I think it must be a bogan thing... :beer:

    Anyway, Benny was an AFL player. Which is not rugby by the way.

    There have been a number of good threads on here about Ben Graham, just do a search for them.

    Better still do an advanced search for the word "fireworks " in the "new york jets" forum.
    You will find a thread called "Ben Graham Fireworks Display"(I think that's what It was called)
    ......anyway that will give you some idea what Ben can do when he's "on song".
    .......and yes Fosters is RUBBISH.
    .......and yes Ben Grahams last year was full of SHANKS

    I'm hoping for a much better display this season.

    cheers.

    Clever advertising has us all thinking that there's Foster's on every tap in Oz. Who knew otherwise until now?
