At the end of the day Souths are having the last laugh atm

Geez Pakeho looks like an absolute gem! Can’t believe he is 20 and able to look so comfortable in attack and defence.

Left.

Mate I can’t stand league. The less we pump them up the better!

2024 NRL averaged 20,605. It’s way more than super rugby but not really astounding numbers.

It’s not too bad of a comparison. NRL haves struggled to draw a crowd in Sydney for a few years really.

It’s why we need some help to pushing back against the French system.

When would they be likely to enter the NRL?

Oh true. It didn't look that well attended but optus is massive. The NRL do have a habit of fudging the numbers (e.g. 1st Vegas round).

Didn't they draw a bad crowd with the last NRL fixture there?

Yeah they are different. Personally, I think the NRL are at a danger of expanding too quickly. Although, I don't really know the timeline. They're trying to be this nationwide comp but they don't have a good way of equalizing the talent. It'll just be the same 4 teams contending for the title...

To go along with the cash grab from the Aus Government for the PNG team.

Wallabies backline should have more cohesion though. Need front foot ball to capitalize on that.

A great result for Len and RA.

Nah my bad I thought we were talking about our 10s.

Alatini would have to be close unless he’s had setbacks (ruptured his ACL middle of July last year). Hes young so probably best to go through lower level.

Or that the comp is tight?

By cohesion I mean with how Schmidt run things. Noah, Lynagh and Donaldson all having experience with Schmidt. Lynagh plays with Tate. Donno plays with White. Noah has played with all those halves.

All 10s in contention have flaws. It’ll come down game style that Schmidt wants. And he’ll lean more on cohesion than wallaby caps number. JOC (James O'Connor)’s main competition is Donno imo as he’s seen as the wallabies utility. Competition and debate is only a good thing.

Yeah, I'm not stating he should or shouldn't be picked. Just stating he comes off the bench in super rugby and his last test game was fuckin horrendous. They are things to consider. It's been mentioned that he was carrying an injury with his last test appearance, but as far as I'm concerned he...
