Frizell plays ‘heavy’ though. If that’s even a thing

shanky

I’m not sure I want him to put on too much muscle/weight. May reduce his speed and agility.
Would prefer to see him as a utility player and a great game-finisher perhaps, against a tiring opposition

Heart attack apparently. Poor bugger

That’s a f**king terrible Test backrow

Does the US usually do the right thing ultimately? Really, I can think of plenty of occasions when it didn't. You'd have to be cherry picking pretty hard to sell that one. Saving your ass from the Gestapo jackboot springs to mind. To be fair, doing the right thing probably comes easier when all the...

Yeah. It’s got to be Lolesio in the driving seat at the moment. It’s his to lose
I hope we’ll see Harrison and Lynagh snapping at this heels though, soon

I don’t think Donaldson did his stats any favours in that Crusaders game
Noticeably weak tackling and couldn’t kick for shit

Is it wrong to snigger when you read they’re sending RIM missiles?

With the Crusaders in a slump, AC is proselytizing for the NRL Gushing pieces about Kim Jong V’Landys will no doubt be next. Strange post. I'm simply pointing out a smart strategy being employed by our codes main rival. They're innovating their schedule to suit modern societal trends, meanwhile we'...

And everything is open in places that aren’t Queensland. But apart from that, the point still holds

If only we could pick more than 5. They’re all so worthy.

Oh, your were referencing Eddie Jones?

In that case, I agree. Because his team played like spackers

shanky

If you're going to pick a winger and want to be taken seriously you have to have an honest look at Reece. He's never been as good at test level as he has at SR level. Penauds defense isn't the greatest. The question was ‘right now’. i.e. based on current from I’d challenge anyone not simply picking...

Got to feel sorry for Petaia. So much talent, so much glass

Poor bugger. Must be heartbreaking for him.

The ACT Poachies reaaalllly don’t like our Kurtley

According to rugby.com.au the Saders lost the penalty count 15-11 and the only YC was given to a Force player, so we’re not quite in Egon Seconds territory here. That won’t matter to AC. He’s only interested in being on the winning team He’s a supporter-of-convenience, an opportunist No doubt, in 1...

Propped up by Australian Television Money

shanky

AC was the type of supporter for whom the chant “you only sing when you’re winning” was invented

Another loss, another ref-whinge

If the Saders keep losing, perhaps AC will have to remember he grew up in Wellington instead?

shanky

Welcome to the dark side

shanky

As a Tahs fan, I can console Saders fans by suggesting that this is the time to declare yourself ‘over’ SR, suggest it’s lost it’s way etc

…then start raving about your local ‘grassroots’ NPC or Club side*

*that’s winning

He was Augies right? And Manly Junior? Yes Is Augies legitimately a good school, or is it a bit too goddy? Seems to be the only one on the NB (other than Narrabeen I suppose) that takes Rugby seriously. Tries to be Goddy but no-one pays attention I think otherwise, it’s a bit ‘mid’ when it comes to...

Foketi is not an ‘ex leaguie’

He’s a union junior who went to France for a year or two.
Probably never played a game of league in his life
He was Augies right? And Manly Junior?

Yes

shanky

I agree. He is competent and won’t let you down, make metres, some tackle busts etc

The X-factor maybe not there in the way you’d get from Paisami or a Kerevi
