I'm being a bit picky here, but it annoys me how religion gets off the hook. He's not "hiding behind it". He's a raging homophobic twat because of it . It's not a coincidence. The book really does teach that God "hates fags". He's just being honest about it. Religion isn't getting off the hook. The...

I don't think I've watched a single show on STAN aside from Rugby. We obviously have different tastes when it comes to shows? I watch some of the Oz shows and some of the new English shows, I also rewatch some old shows - I just did the entirety of Red Dwarf, including all the new seasons I hadn't ...

It's not a shit app though, it's one of the better ones. In the direct sport head to head it's knocking out Kayo with one punch in round one, in the non sport it compares favourably with Netflix, is much better than Amazon and obviously Binge (because that's just the same as Kayo). Stan also has th...

I'm a Rugby fan and I'm envious of lots of things about Rugby League. I'm envious at the crowds the NRL attracts here in Australia, whilst Super Rugby crowds continue to dwindle. I'm envious that they have ample, live free to air coverage, whilst Rugby is hidden away behind the worst streaming serv...

To suggest Union fans, itself a dying sport, are envious of League is nothing short of laughable. Niche is not envious of super duper mega niche.

His biggest downfall is that he's a raging homophobic twat who hides behind his idiotic imported religious fundamentalism. But yeah, on the field, that was probably his biggest issue.

His kicking was merely adequate. It was his biggest downfall. His biggest downfall is that he's a raging homophobic twat who hides behind his idiotic imported religious fundamentalism.

And his kicking still let him down though still handy. If his kicking and defence were top notch he would have been a world class Fullback. What are you talking about? He was arguably the best fullback in the world. His kicking was fine. His kicking was merely adequate. It was his biggest downfall....

That's a weird comparison. If you played hooker in league and scrum half in union it would be a better comparison. The two hooker positions are nothing alike. Also, what kind of hooker is uninvolved? He must have been been standing on the sidelines waiting for the glory moments. :lol: My experience...

That’s something I hear, but I never got bored playing rugby when I didn’t personally have the ball. There’s plenty of stuff to do and think about, right? I played hooker in both sports. I always preferred playing League because I felt more involved and the game felt faster. There were things i lik...

I'm a bit out of touch with local-level rugby, I'll have to start watching provincial games closely again to understand the selectors' rationale. Maybe goalkicking was an issue. He was the top point scorer in the comp. I have no idea of the % though. Attitude? The B/S excuse that is brought up by d...

Speaking of which, how come McClutchie isn't in a Super Rugby side this season? He's good enough. I don't know whether he has a background in playing halfback, but he looks like he could potentially be a player who covers 9 and 10. Maybe I'm dreaming. No idea. Broken selectorial system in Super rug...

Hopefully he take his chances. I assume he was in the Hasting BH side the year that they held a lot of guns? * post-edit: yes, I just read his wikipedia profile. :thumbup: Speaking of which, how come McClutchie isn't in a Super Rugby side this season?

Would have been a more regular Canes squad member if not for injury which allowed Devery to leapfrog him into the Canes. Hopefully he take his chances. I assume he was in the Hasting BH side the year that they held a lot of guns? * post-edit: yes, I just read his wikipedia profile. :thumbup:

Go to leagueunlimited forum, there's screeds of different anti rugby threads or anti rugby content within threads. It's filled with Gorts, well Aussie versions of Gort.

What is funny about the OP in this thread is that Vunivalu got his league contract based off his schoolboy rugby ability, and for 90% of NZers mentioned in the thread they're dual code youngsters anyway.

This is the type of thread, but in reverse I expect to see on Aussie league forums.

To be honest I'm excited the US are finally moving to decimalisation, well if they're in good enough shape for the move. I still have no idea what a gallon os.

Losing Stevenson so early made things more difficult that it would have been. The excellent outside play by Nanai-Seturu and Narawa is made possible by the singular service provided by Dmac. The scrum domination set up the 8 break at the critical juncture and was the safe option all night. Still so...

Nice pass from DMac who seemed to cop a high shot at the same time.

I remember last year people were ridiculing me midway through last year for saying he was the most undisciplined player in NZ. Then he became the first player to be red carded in an RWC final.
