I've got high hopes for all of Laban, EIT and Halasima, but imo these guys aren't the ones you want doing 12+ hit ups a game where they're trying to bend/break the line.

Laban, while he has the size and could be utalised this way doesn't seem to have that mindset. He seems to be a defensive focused player who is good in the air.

EIT - doesn't quite have that big man size, and his super power seems to be his fitness where he'll run and tackle all day, but may not break the line.

Leka - you don't want your Ferrari's main role to be the grunt work. Good for some solid hit ups but I don't think we should lump him in there.

Clark was great this year and our most damaging forward, constantly bunting players and making good post contact meters. He needs help!

You've confused Leka with Demi too!!

Bro, Had to look all that up I have no socials. And I'm ancient. So I'm way lost with all this stuff.

Just listened to a AI generated song on youtube. Fucking scary shit!

Thanks for the proper reply to my question bro lol.

Never realised you were more ancient than I. Anyway that account that posted it states that they do AI Wahs based and all types of rubbish vids.

I went to school with Frank Sinatra old. Not as old as Kos tho

Put it this way, I went to a Billy Ocean concert last night. Everyone stunk of mothballs and had a walking stick.

Without my glasses it looks like Al. As in Al Bundy. I thought i was missing out on some inside joke the first time.
Yup, Don't mind me. I'll exit stage left back to my retirement home.

In hindsight I probably shouldn't have posted it without a bit more than the Lol comment that I did.

AI is getting dangerous though
