breaking news; Rangi Chase

[deluded pom?]

Another fecking joke from the McNanamara/Carr book of comedy. There's also a rumour that McNamara approached Matt King about declaring for England too. I've had it with the so called elite nations. They can have each other, scrambling around to get whoever they can to commit to them regardless of the image of the game it portrays. A joke of a sport administered by full time comedians.

maori is a racial team...not a national team

that depends on your definition of nation... World Book Dictionary states that a nation can refer to “a people, race, or tribe; those having the same descent, language, and history.”

so Maori would fit that description...

either way... im not in favor of Maori getting a spot in the world cup or anything.... but im pointing out that turning out for Maori shouldnt be brushed aside too quickly.

not that any of it truly matters... chase was always a squad player at best.

if England seriously need him... that shows how bad England are going...

 

[Fast Eddie]

Haha another one huh. Good luck to him, I thought he might have got a spot if he was lucky in the Kiwis squad but no huge loss. I'm guessing he will start for England?

who says im bitter about the Kiwis??

did you not watch the NRL GF yesterday?? we have 2 of the best young halves on the planet. to partner the best 5/8 on the planet.

LOL Just no.

 

[Fast Eddie]

No offense to the guy but it will be good to see Matulino and Smith roll over the top of him now.

 

[Fast Eddie]

LOL Just no.

Who who currently plays 5/8th is better than Benji?

Please, Lockyer is the best 5/8 in the game.
But, honestly, I'm not going to bother with you, I've seen a couple of your posts already and they're Gaba worthy for bias.

 

[Didgi]

Hmm, Kiwi fans attacking England when it was apparently Chase that approached McNamara. Says a lot for the draw of playing for NZ.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Haha or the fact he realised he wouldn't get int he NZ team possibly came into it?

Lol you serious? Fair enough but I don't think that many would agree with you.

Not everyone is a one eyed Kiwi...

 

[RedVee]

Rangi qualifying for England on residency does not affect one iota him having Maori heritage.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Not everyone is a one eyed Kiwi...

Not everyone is a one eyed Queenslander/Aussie? Benji overtook Lockyer this season.

I don't think anyone would seriously think Lockyer is a better player than benji at this stage in his career. Living legend and is still a great player, but he is winding down his career and benji's is at it's peak!

I'm not one eyed, I just don't think Benji Marshall is that good.
The guy scored a try off a shanked drop kick and thought it a good idea to run on the last when leading with 2 minutes to go ffs, many people might lactate over Marshall, I don't.

Lockyer isn't showy and yes, winding down, but his class still shines through in big games.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Good on you for picking out the poor play in the finals and ignoring his whole regular season. All I know is that I'm stoked with our halves combo for the four nations.

 

[Shorty]

Good on you for picking out two plays in the finals. All I know is that I'm stoked with our halves combo for the four nations.

That was an example, he plays a high risk game and when it pays off he's phenomenal but it's a rather erratic playing style to have.
I'll concede that he's the most in form 5/8.

 

[Indelible]

I don't see the big deal here, we've been picking players born outside of aus for years. We had better drop Thurston, Thaiday etc because they have played for the Aboriginal All Stars???

This is good for international league, as long as he sticks with the team, makes for a better comp!

 

[roughyedspud]

how about you lot take your lockyer v benji wankfest elsewhere
