He has made 5 line breaks, scored 2 tries in 12 matches and missed plenty of tackles but apart from that he has been great haha Many players do that in 1 match

Incorrect He has scored 2 tries in a team which has scored the highest points in the competition, misses 2-3 tackles per game and that doesn’t include the misses where he comes flying in leaving the winger to defend 3 players He received a call up once latrel was not available, turbo / best /...

You don’t watch much rugby league The bloke is a liability in attack and defence He lets in multiple tries a game coming in like he did last night any getting caught flat footed And in attack does not fend or step and has no pace! He does not seem to break tackles and score tries and no...

I agree he wasn’t in the roosters 17 at the start of the year training at fullback in the nsw cup side until Billy smith got injured! Watching nrl each week I don’t know how he came close to getting near origin especially at centre His defence is rushing in or getting caught flat footed and...

To be honest he does this every week at the roosters, he jams in hard off the centre and leaves the winger stranded - this was always going to happen eventually it was just origin and not for the roosters he collected someone He also gets caught flat footed in defence not being quick enough to...

Is there any Aus A games confirmed yet this year? Keen for this to get going again presume the island nations! Also why don’t they have a Aus a v NZ 15 before one of the bled cup games? plenty of lock options with a few lock/ 6 options The player I was hoping to see really take it on was Tom...

If this had been confirmed then yes I think the last I saw was he was wanting to keep with local players if possible

Skelton must be first picked - was Huge last year until injuries Rodda - seems we have missed him but would love him to partner Skelton to start with a big pack Swain in the mix for 19 and frost Also hybrid types with hooper, Holloway and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) as the final cover Could be a Smokey like Ryan...

Is Barrett can get back for blues potentially ardie savea for the canes could as well

Exactly hard to compare when not playing Wright is 27 this year and had plenty of chances and been dropped many times Petaia 24 and injury has hurt his campaign as has his positional changes

Petaia is a tackle breaker and has a boot, only young and injuries have cruelled him getting a consistent crack Yes wright has X factor but the rocks he produces gets found out in test level as it did last season and brumbies finals! Only a matter of time to a shocker of a game. And in test...

Agree but wright has delivered in super rugby a few seasons now but hasn’t replicated to test level Apart from on the wing Petaia isn’t potential any more we know he is great but just needs to stay on the field and be given a number to stay at Just don’t want another wright failure at 15 and...

With the back 3 it feels most spots are settled (5-6) in the squad but the actual starting and bench spots for game 1 have never been more open Koribete - should be a lock in the squad but maybe uncertainty as playing overseas? Playing well though so should get in Kellaway - will get in just...

Let’s remember in a professional game players are paid from marketing and media of the game! They are paid by fans watching on Tele and also going to games that’s how the game makes its money While rugby goes quieter each year and sits back behind the other codes All super rugby is a selection...

Exactly let’s take off the rose glasses and realise we can’t live off the tag “it’s the international game” The other codes will never have the international game like we have but we need a strong domestic comp otherwise where will the international players come from? everyone bagging Beale...

Origen is certainly and easily the biggest Aus sports rivalry The tv ratings are the same as the afl and nrl grand final for each game so the 3 SOO and grand finals gives rugby league 4 grand finals a year

What ground holds 120k? State of Origen packs which ever ground they are in and the tv audience tunes in! It’s over 3m tune in so basically gives rugby league another 3 grand finals compared to afl! With afl and nrl grand finals around the Same viewing number! Even die hard afl fans watch it

Excuse the language mate have seemed to strung a cord with you Yes we are reminiscing from 10 years ago And even then the super rugby final wasn’t even a sell out Even if the tahs were going well add another 5k to the crowd isn’t a lot for the only super rugby side in the state compared to 10...

Exactly he will fall into the abis of rugby - league fans will forget he even existed and rugby won’t even advertise or promote him anyway

Potentially also why very little people know super rugby is being played, who the players are and once infiltrated to younger audiences and even rugby schools they want to follow their heroes and play their sport For some sports that are not professional or semi pro many athletes use their...
