    Pacific Cup 2024

    Yeah short as we are on centres, it's interesting that the likes of Hiku and McLean got picked over guys like Mariner, Arthars, Kris, and yes even Berry or Leiataua. Sure you could say they're not Kiwi standard, but they're no less so than an 18 year old rookie or an ageing ex-NRL player...

    Pacific Cup 2024

    Absolutely yeah. I reckon Sorenson would possibly make the Tongan squad if he was keen but not Whyte.

    Actually I’m full of shit, apparently Whyte is Tongan too

    Pacific Cup 2024

    Actually there is one Tonga eligible player I think - Sorenson

    Pacific Cup 2024

    Interesting DWZ made this big song and dance about switching to Tonga, hasn't played for them, and hasn't been picked for anyone?

    Pacific Cup 2024

    Yeah don't think there are any. Fifita has previously played for Tonga and has never player for Australia - out injured at the moment, was there an indication he was looking to switch?

    Jennings playing for a 3rd nation? Can't be too many who have done that

    This is ‘progress’, ironically - the Maori Kiwis vs the Pakeha Roos. Not like the bad old days of like…multicultural teams that reflected the player base of each nation.

    Pacific Cup 2024

    I honestly thought Collins was completely useless in the finals too but he seems to be one of those likeable lads who looks the part and no-one questions his selection.

    Melbourne "No Try"

    This whole saga is just a case study in the hopeless position NRL refs are in. They are never going to placate us imbeciles. Dumbest fanbase in the world.

    NRL Finals 2024

    Dunno if Galvin was really "head and shoulders" above? Strong rookie crop this year, Iro (who probably should have won) and Bostock had excellent seasons, and Ethan Strange was similar to Galvin in being a young bloke taking over in the halves. Probably tailed off a bit compared to Galvin but I...

    Pacific Cup 2024

    The ironic thing is that the Tongan doing the haka is pretty much the only Tongan who is actually Tongan. He's the Tonganest Tongan they've got.

    Will You Watch The Grand Final ?

    I've set aside Sunday for an all-day drinking session watching all 3 games, and then Monday off work for the hangover, so I expect to be on here at some point talking absolute horseshit.

    Isn't having that perspective the reason the Warriors sacked Lauiti'iti in 2004

    I personally think that should always be a try anyway, I’d just never seen that interpretation before. I guess players generally aren’t facing backwards in that scenario.

    5 tries 8 goals. This is definitely a squad with 3 Union players in it.

    If he had pushed it back with a separate touch I get it, but the ‘pushing back’ was literally just the grounding

    He knocks it forward and then never “re-grips”…did they change that rule or do they just make it up as they go?
