Thanks for the insight. We obviously need him to back it up again this year and be fittest he can. A fit and focused Liberatore is vital to this team in 2019.

Re: Libba
I have a feeling he may not ever get back to his best, would be his desire to play that's the one year deal part from my understanding. That second knee was a cruel blow.
Fingers crossed he can get it back together on field (from a selfish supporter view point) but to me he's already done enough and will always be a club legend.

I guess most people would think it's doubtful that he can get back to his very best and given the club took so long to get this deal done they have some doubts as well but if he gets focused and close to his best it's a win for us. I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes

The role Libba plays best is right in the clinches with quick hands feeding the outside players. The knees should not restrict him like you would expect for someone more dependent on speed.
If Libba stays fit he will be a big plus in 2019.

They match his black nail polish really well.

Half expecting him to run out in full KISS makeup next. That'd be rad.

Or one of those face tattoos like Mike Tyson has.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Loose unit.
He looks pretty fit though, that's not something ever said about Jake.

Is that a hybrid Raphael Gingerbread Man?
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Dunno if it inspired Libba, but US retailers Wal-Mart sell TMNT gingerbread.
