It'll be interesting to see how he performs in two weeks, thats for sure. If he plays well then I'll finally concede he isn't a hack, but until then, he's had one good game. WOW! I'd love to see him play in the NRL on a regular basis and then we could honestly compare him to other back rowers in the world. But, until then, comparing him with the Aussies forwards (especially Kite, Mason and Tupou) on an 80 minute performance, of which those three Aussie forwards were off for a fair while anyways is just ridiculous. We'll see how he goes in 2 weeks and then make a further comment then.
You've used some pretty snazy bait there mate, so I couldn't help but take a slight nibble. ESL > NRL in the WCC each year is on the basis of:
a) It's played in England every year, which will obviously always favour your teams. If it were to be played in Australia each year, then we'd most certainly be getting totally different results.
b) It is only a trial match, and is treated such by Australian teams! 'm sure your also aware that the respective Premiers in the last three years (Panthers, Bulldogs, Tigers) have all failed to make the Top 8 the following years following their premierships.
Also, GB > Australia :lol:!!
It's been proven by many GBish stars that the NRL is the superior game. You've beaten an understrengthed Australian side, wow, clap clap! You've also beaten us once in the last 8 times we've met in England so your comment just typifies how much of a complete goose you are. May I still remind you your still no certainties to make the Tri Ntions finals this year. Two consectuive losses and your packing your bags back to Blackpool!
