Hard disagree. Care to elaborate (apart from covid) what years you think were worse? Any year with three conferences. Any year with the sun Wolves or kings. 2023 with shit Aussie results. 2025 ratings were up. Crowds were up, and since then its got more competitive. Other than nzru ransacking MP, i...

I honestly think Super Rugby has done its dash. All the hoopla on this year celebrating the 30th anniversary of the competition, yet its in the worst shape its been over those 30 years. Someone posted earlier about a 5 team NZ round robin and simultaneous 5 team AU round robin with possibly the top...

But NZR made sure that Moana didn't tap into its talent pool, which is my point. They started the team so they could control recruitment. Imagine a young 20 yrs old NZ NPC player getting offered a SR contract. They won't care about international, they'd take it. NZR wanted talented fringe or non SR...

What sort of f**king name is Tahlor :lol: What happened to Antonio "4Os" Shalfoon? Google tells me me is an old varient of Taylor originating from Middle English and Old French.

Give them Parramatta stadium
Penrith. Or Campbelltown
I wouldn't put any touring team up in Campbeltown, league deserve it.

A great area and home to a great rugby club

They had a back to Ballymore game against the blues (I think) back in 2010. I was so pumped up from a nostalgia perspective to stand on the hill and drink xxxx. However after the shit fight to get in, the shit fight to get a beer, and the shit fight to leave it was a quick reminder as to why they m...

Force $3.10 v Crusaders $1.35 This game scares me after last week's shambolic showing and No Jordan again this week. Add the travel factor in and I worry too. I was expecting Havili to add direction to the backs. Missing Williams and Taylor in the forwards was huge. Travel factor :lol: Force are fl...

Reds beg to differ.

They can only score from 70 out.

Chay Fihaki in the worst 2 try performance Ive ever seen.

Reds good early, then wheels feel off for a while. They dont wont for endeavour.

Donno had been kicking 88% until now. 25% vs Drua.

I'll be watching George Bell very closely. With Codie Taylor out with injury, Bell will need to play long minutes. He's had a good season and I think he is ready to take his play to the next level. As an aside, I mentioned it earlier in the season but his physical transformation over the summer has...

Which team benefited from the 20-6 penalty count?
Brumbies clearly need to get their scrum and general discipline in order.

Tavatavanawai won't get away with planking on every ruck in the future.

Aussie Lachie Kennedy breaks 10 seconds in the 100m, running 9.96 in a heat. Second quickest Aussie ever.

Never in doubt.

Got to like playing our worse game of the season and getting the W.

Aussies lecturing us about poaching :lol: They recruit amateur bogball GAA players who work full time office jobs to head down there and dominate their #1 sport ffs :blush: Who are these players? There are apparently 14 Irish players in the AFL (14 out of approx. 684 players). I couldn't name one b...

In 2026 I'd have thought we have moved on from making fun of Pasifika surnames? If he was a Scandinavian bloke called Sven Andersssssson Id call him 7Ss. Sure you would.

Good to have 7As back - getting closer to full strength. Tom Wright is the only notable out at this stage. For a brief moment I thought you were referencing Tavatavanawai rather than Alaalatoa. At least Tavatavanawai beats him by one in 'the most As in the surname' stakes. :D If only his parents ha...

Should be a good game. I have my tickets, been a while since the Crusaders played in Brisbane. Start of three games in a row against Australian opposition for the Crusaders.

Sounds like the force did a number on the reds, at home too. I’m overseas so didn’t catch the game. Anyone from the force really stand out? Donno, Molina, the 9 (Robertson?).

Our schoolboy season just started. Paul Roos the only unbeaten team so far. Our top 10 schools are very close this year.

Except that multiple all-time greats have done it (Larkham, Hernandez), whereas no international flankers have become world-class centres (maybe Botia at a stretch?)

Multiple doing a lot of work there. 2.
