Oh, your were referencing Eddie Jones?

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

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.

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...

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

Yes

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

From an Aussie perspective, will be interesting to see White, Donaldson and Beale operating as a unit.
With both White and Beale’s experience around him, let’s see what Donaldson can produce.

In NSW, the poles and wires are government owned Essential Energy (the former Country Energy is).

Some delightful shilling on behalf of Russia. One could just as easily contend, and perhaps more accurately, a Ukraine that was also attuned to the West was more valuable to the West for how that would deepen the connection to Russia. And no matter how much Ukraine looked increasingly to the West t...

The MAGA argument is of course, nonsense

Allowing Russia to successfully invade and therefore emboldening China to attack Taiwan and destroy the semiconductor economy is never in the USA’s interests

But Trump doesn’t care - he just wants to ‘win’.

If a coach tried a prayer circle at my junior club, they would promptly be told to get f**ked.

When my eldest was in U12 they got this new coach in and he made them do a prayer circle before and after every training session and game. Weird. That is weird. Lots of Pasifika lads there?
