2019 Test Triple Header - Fri 25 Oct - Wollongong

[MilkShark]

With the exodus of jt, cronk, slater, GI etc im surprised mal is there. Might need to do some actual work

Nah mal won’t do f**k all.

We currently have a captain that doesn’t like to say much and a coach that is just a figurehead. We are in for some boring years of test footy with these 2 at the helm.

So where to for the kiwis, no 4N title in 5 years, no WC win in 12 years.

I’d start with finding new halves

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

He ain’t the only one

I can't think of anyone to his extreme. FPN is the only one who comes close off the top of my head

They are in for a world of pain. The incompetence of the warriors and the growing status of the smaller islands in Tonga, Samoa, Fiji means they will struggle to find quality players to select. Just means someone like Adam Blair will be playing for them until he’s 50

 

[MilkShark]

I think the Rubicon has been crossed for smaller players. Cut the interchange down to zero and Payne Hass is still playing 80 minutes. Outside backs are gigantic and they play 80 minutes easily

Professionalism just makes blokes bigger and fitter

Either cut the interchange or play 9 a side, the game is damn boring in its current state.

f**king hope not, there's some seriously good kiwi players you can build a team around.

I mean they've won a couple of these one-off tests and yeah we don't play a lot of intl footy but at least put up a fight. Tonight smacks of really poor preparation.
