I sometimes wonder if Powell and Hanigan would cop less flak if they had proper haircuts

. Maybe not cheap shot penalties, but my recollection is that Simmons was just about always good for at least one dumb penalty per test, things like pulling blokes down in the lineout, blatant ruck penalties etc.

Even if the rain clears by game time, it will already have discouraged people from going. Might be a record low crowd coming up

I guess as Akira's not going to get to do the haka on the field any time soon, he might as well do it at his brother's house at 2am https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12305161

Shame he goes and spoils all that good work with a stack of shitty box kicks.

The problem with Hawera was that he wasn't good enough, not so much that he was from overseas. He would have been eligible for Australia this year I think if he was still around.

Reckon Pulu and/or Muirhead might still be ahead of Kata and Wright come round one.

I thought he meant Paul Roos' son, Tyler Roos. He should be free now the Amazing Race has finished.

Do you really want to be taking lessons from the team that just a few months ago had the biggest loss in NRL finals history?

The drop in membership prices probably helped a fair bit.

Think the residency rule has been changed to five years?

If White starts he'd be able to take those shots at goal. Might not quite have the range of Hodge but not far off it. Or at least he used to, not sure how much kicking at goal he's done since he's been overseas.

The fact that both the AFL and NRL grand finals were predicted to be fairly one sided affairs wouldn't have helped the ratings. I suspect some of your more casual observers wouldn't have bothered watching because they thought they'd just see a flogging (as was the case in the AFL).

If you need someone at 10 to soak up the rush defence in the first half then To'omua’s the guy surely, more robust than Foley or CLL and more willing just to charge it up. If he’s still in one piece after half time then space might open for him, or if he’s worn out then CLL or Foley come on when...

Are we allowed to substitute a player that was carrying an injury into the tournament, or only someone who has picked up an injury during the tournament?

Chris Tindall, formerly of the Chiefs and ABs https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/who-s-coming-and-going-chris-tindall-takes-on-brumbies-retention-job-20181009-p508ko.html

Maybe the new coach is involved with the RWC and they’re waiting until that’s finished to make the announcement? Or they’re looking at who might become available after the RWC?
