Re: Jeremy Guscott v Manu Tuilagi - who was better?
Ryan Crotty made the ABs plenty of times, as did plenty if centres that don’t hold a candle to Tuilagi. I’m sure Tuilagi would have squeezed in there somehow. Like I said, Manu would struggle to make the the ABs most years . I'm sure he would have made it in 2019 but he's not making it over Conrad ...

Re: The state of the NZRU..
I think jtah's point is that the Warriors and SOO are loved, not the NRL in general, the viewership for it is poor and only spiked by the hype train in years like last year solely focused on the Warriors. Therefore, expecting NRL to fill the void is unrealistic. I personally don't mind what NZRU do...

For me what will happen on Friday will be further degradation of Furys resume.

Also Ngannou said he has never been hit harder ...
