Yep, and by the match-specific threads.

I don't see this. Wilson is a battering ram #8. His greatest strength is hard, straight running and a big engine. That's pretty much how I see him too. Not to say he isn't a fairly skillful player but he does seem to be at his best when you just wind him up and let him go. Thought he used offload e...

I hope this PNG team doesn't happen as the NRL should focus on Christchurch and even NZ3 Wellington. The problem with that is that many of the "bidders" are chancers with less than stellar reputations. There must be such strong issues with the NZ bids that the NRL aren't capitalising on the Warrior...

so no stats on 16 and 17 year olds then and defiantly not hundreds of polls and those 16 and 17 year olds that will be voting in the next election are 12 and 13 now ? not many polls for them either. Zoomers are the actual worst generation though and absolutely in love with the podcaster tiktok shit...

Born in England, moved to Straya as a kid, got a gig at the Tigers when he was maybe 22 after being with the Melbourne Rebels. English, moved to Australia as a teen. Came home. Saw what a shithole it was and moved to Perth. Copped an accidental blow to the head. A hard one. Moved to Perth.

What’s this guy like then, Aussies?
Late bloomer, hardened up in French rugby, pretty physical.

Hope he goes OK, but it is a big ask.

I didn’t think Robertson would make it but glad he did. He’s been in good form since returning from injury.

I’m not happy with that prospect; merely think it likely.

Tackle success, eh? What’s better?

Yes that and that international league really isn’t a thing and the Kangaroos dominate that anyway. State of Origin and the NRL are the most important things in Australian rugby league.
