Roosters v Cowboys Trial (Mackay)

[Tommy Smith]

As usual we're the only club that hasn't named a team so far!

Mitchell, Fergo, Smith, Friend and Aubo are playing in the World All Stars game so what line up are we expecting? Will we pick a full strength team?

I'd hazard a guess at:

1. Gordon
2. Tupou
3. Manu
4. Copley
5. SKD
6. Keary
7. Pearce
8. JWH
9. Garvey
10. Napa
11. Cordner
12. Guerra
13. Liu

14. Watson
15. Tetevano
16. Carter
17. Knight
18. Collins
19. Vunakece
20. JTS

Ive probably missed someone. I don't believe Butcher is right after off season shoulder surgery?

Smith made a so called rep team? Fark me he can't even make first grade at Easts.

The Indigenous boys are always short on forwards. It's all in the genes with their natural builds I reckon as they've produced loads of great backs but not so many forwards.

Or course the irony I guess is that the greatest forward of all time is Indigenous.

I forgot Matterson too. I imagine he'll get gametime too.

Just want to check with everyone is it "hazard a guess" or "have it a guess"? If hazard, does anyone know the meaning of why.

I am assuming you haven't heard of google.

Someone wrote me today asking about the expression “hazard a guess.” Here’s what I replied:

This is a very old and traditional expression. “Hazard” was originally the name of a dice game. The word got extended to mean “chance” and then “risk of loss or harm.”

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the verb form of the word originally meant “To put (anything) to the risk of being lost in a game of chance or other doubtful issue; to stake; to expose to hazard or risk.” It could also be positive, meaning to get something through luck.

But the meaning in this expression stems from the 16th century meaning “to take the chance or risk of something, or venture to do something.” By the 18th century it began to be used in the narrow sense of “to venture to offer an opinion, conjecture, etc.”

1758 Monthly Rev. 188 If one may be allowed to hazard a conjecture.
a1790 B. Franklin Autobiogr. (1981) iii. 129, I have hazarded the few preceding Pages.
1816 S. T. Coleridge Statesman's Man. 20 [This] justifies me..in hazarding the bold assertion.
1860 J. Tyndall Glaciers of Alps ii. xxvii. 379 He did not hazard an explanation of the phenomenon.

This use of the word survives mainly in the phrase “I would hazard a guess.” It means the same thing as “I would venture a guess.”

Its a trial match Tommy that means 20 players & you have named 20 will be going on & off for 80 minutes so it doesnt matter who is named they will all get a run.
Does that help you?

[Tommy Smith]
