For mine this is Foster's test. He's had a look at what he's got, he's seen the opposition, he's had two weeks to prepare, the players have had plenty of time in camp and on the field together - the ABs should be humming for this game. I'll be joining the trolls and the nay-sayers with anything les...

For pro players, there are ranges Front row - 5'8 to 6'4 / 105kgs to 140ish Second row - 6'4 to 6'11 / 110kgs to 140ish 6/8 - 6'2 to 6'6 /105 to 125 (although some teams will play a second 7) 7 - 5'9 to 6'4 / 95 to 110 9 - 5'6 to 6'2 / 75 to 90 10 - 5'8 to 6'2 / 75 to 100 Wings - 5'7 to 6'6 / 80 to...

Of course it's still a game for all sizes, as long as you're at least 1.80m tall and weigh over 95kg Possibly "or" rather than "and" ... nuggets under 1.80 can be found nearly everywhere except 4/5/6 (+8 at top level) , e.g. Tupou (130kg+) or even Hooper (around a buck even). In fairness, light-ish...

But I have short-medium term immunity and so’s my family, so there’s that. Glad your mob is likely ok. The no mask, no gloves worn by hospital staff seems f"ckd up.

F-ck off there mate. I've played this game in three different countries and multiple levels and every position on the park except tighthead, scrumhalf and hooker. I could probably teach Sam Cane a thing or two let alone you jokers. Sam if you want some tips, PM me. Look, we talkin' ain't park footy...

Same accusations that have been kicking around Australia for years. It's bullshit. Send young men to war and then bitch and moan when they do things that people do when you send them to war. Yeah, there is that aspect to it. Would have been in previous recent wars also but now it's different times....

I was actually comparing the delivery of Stan to the delivery of Netflix. Netflix is like a simple to use app on your phone. Stan reminds me of play by email strategy gaming in the early 1990s, when the save filed was delivered as a code string in an email, and I had to run the text through an 8-bi...

There is another aspect to this - having completely axed Fox Channel this week and subscribed to Netflix & Stan (for 1/3 of the monthly cost), my understanding is the NZ comp is wedded to Sky/Newscorp for 5 years, and without a further subscription to Kayo, I won't be watching any NZ games. Nah. Ne...

The article says it dropped by $20m pa to $24m pa... Yep. And the article is also wrong. True, the N...

Leaguies might whine in the comments sections about 'boring' yawnion, but deep down inside, Aussies just want to watch us winning things. That's why we need to maintain a domestic pre-cursor competition. There's no way Ch 9 are going to approve an old-style Soup format. They want domestic match-ups...

i'm here or there on the 'finals' for SuperAU or SuperA - more that only the best from either should (IMO) go into a 'finals'. Nah, a 'domestic' final is gold on multiple levels. On the numbers 6 in both is best - agree - 3 games. I think Pacific team is more appealing than Fiji - Fiji already has ...

I personally like the 'only the best' teams make it - to a wider comp and any finals...

It’s worth pointing out that Nine also own the national ‘broadsheet’ newspaper SMH and Age and Something-in-Brisbane, as well as a main news website, which means we’ll get a shit-ton of ‘articles’ and cross-promo each week.

Hunting down the schedule, logging on, casting to the tv, tying up your computer or phone while the match is on requires intent and dedication to watch. Nah.
