Totally agree, and Allaalatoa needs to be gone with him

We do though at loosehead. Bell, Kailea, Hodgman & Gibbon would all offer more than Slipper

Great news for Pietsch and for the Force, their outside back stocks weren't looking great

The NRL has had an NZ team since 1995 ffs You talk some waffle

I'm sure the 12 registered league players in NZ are going to be thrilled to read this

Did you listen to him? It's complete arrogance, what the hell have England won for him to be talking like that? We are in a bad space right now, but I'm not having Ben Youngs talk like the home nations are some superpower Should we ban Lions tours until Ireland can make a World Cup semi final?

And it's pretty rich from Ben Youngs, does he not remember how bad England were under Andy Robinson, or the pool stage exit he was apart of in 2015 They needed and Australian in Eddie Jones to teach them for them to actually start winning

All while having a high work rate and locking down a scrum Another world class player produced by Australia....

The math aint mathing with this one

Tyrel Lomax doesn't struggle to play 35 minutes It's bigger than Tupou. I don't think our players in general are fit enough, because they aren't trained hard enough. That why our players always seem to improve when they go overseas

It was clearly just an example about how other sports actually make players take their training seriously but sure, let’s only focus on that and ignore the overall point that our highest paid player can’t last a half of rugby and that’s supposedly acceptable

He’s the highest paid player in the country and couldn’t last more than 20 minutes of a super rugby game and asked to be taken off after 35 minutes of a test match He’s a disgrace, clearly doesn’t take his training seriously and you seem to act as if that acceptable from a pro athlete. Soccer...

1) These are the same comps that all the worlds best players play in though 2) That’s my point. We have the talent but we don’t train them hard enough. Taniela Tupou treats rugby season like a holiday

Our fitness certainly isn’t good enough. Our highest paid player can only last 35 minutes

Then why are tons of Australian players succeeding around the world? We clearly have the talent, otherwise top clubs from around the world wouldn't continuously poach our players. It must have more to do with lack of preparation and poor training methods for professionals here

It all just feel like a little pat on the head from NZ while they bugger off to South Africa and we are forced to play in the Pacific nations cup

True, my point is more of an overall one. Would be nice for a change to have someone come in and look the part straight away instead of needing to always give players excuses

No, but we don't have to make excuses simply because he happened to play for your Super Team either The question we should be asking is why cant any of these guys just step up when given the chance

It always seems to be the same story with players Excuses why they sucked when they played for the Wallabies, and then pointing out they were in their best form when either leaving or having left Australia

Problem is you had old Boffin Dan Herbert going on podcasts talking about how players would be moved around for the betterment of Australian Rugby If these guys want to talk the big game, back it up
