Re: All Blacks 2024
ALB is an intelligent player. I like him. Closest we've had to Conrad. Agreed. He regressed as a player under Foster. He went from being a starting midfielder to a fringe squad member. The fact that Foster took delight in alternating him between 12 and 13 wouldn't have helped. He was injured a lot ...

Re: All Blacks 2024
Rieko has definitely improved in that regard though.. just like defensively he has matured with age. Those first two tries against Ireland in the World Cup were from Rieko passes. We'll see though. If Razor doesn't pick him, then we know he doesn't rate him. But who would be better? The alternates a...

Re: The best All Round Rugby Player in the World incl. the 2023 RWC.
So Willemse scores higher at 12 than Jordie who is often talked about as the best 12 in the world? Maybe I've rated Jordie too much on the RWC final as I"ve seen little of him elsewhere. He tried his best to make things happen but perhaps he had no luck. Yeah... PSDT targeting him and no openside t...

Every song is so much better than the studio version. Especially Fool's Overture and Crime of the Century. But also the mainstream hits as well, like Take the Long Way Home.

They paid £68m for Alisson, £75m for VVD and £85m for Nunez. Get me a violin Coutinho money. Since Liverpool won the league City have spent considerably more but they've also sold considerably more so the net difference is only £70m. I'm not comparing them to dodgyx115 City.

Re: Bulldog Memorial Cup: Masters 2024
How does the scoring work? Is it just using the players place number as a score?
Or is it weighted so more higher picks compensates for lower picks? So picking players that miss the cut don't penalise you as much as players near the top help you?
