I wish we had a team like either of these. They play such good football.

There’s going to be a lot of really really good players who aren’t going to ever win a premiership due to this Penrith dynasty. Honestly I could see them winning another 2 or 3.

The Storm needed a strike player out wide who could do something but had only workhorses. If they had a Best of Gagai I think they could have gotten a try or two more.

The Penrith forwards are sensational. The work rate and discipline is off the charts. Close to zero mistakes and close to no missed tackles. They got some great results contesting kicks, please AOB take notes!

You could see last night how good those two teams are. I think the comps best chance is for Panthers to regress, can’t see many teams getting to that level anytime soon.

Looking at the Kangaroos team, Best is one of only real centre named? Hammer, Lomax, Burton and Turbo can all play centre though. Looks like Best is the Australian left centre?

Leo and Phoenix named in the Kiwi squad.
Good experience for them.

It's amazing how far hard work and having an honest dig will get you in Rugby League. Phoenix barely has a talented bone in his body and is legitimately unathletic - and yet there he is selected for international footy.

Every single actually talented kid should look at this and be highly motivated. If you tackle hard and leave everything on the field, you can have a Rugby League career - even in the modern game. Our sport, above all else, is an effort sport. A player that wants it bad enough can have a big impact.

Crossland is pretty big, huge motor and is an excellent defender. Can't say he has no talent to be fair. He doesn't have much attacking talent if being honest though.
