You obviously didn't watch the ANZAC test and Origin.ozbash said:Mason - quality :lol:
Asotasi is good, Wiki and Cayless are past there best.JJ said:Asotasi, Wiki and Cayless are average? :lol: Blair, Faalogo and Mannering are good too...
don't forget who we're missing - SBW, Puletua, Ali, Solomona....
I've seen Mason owned so many times by the Warriors and kiwis it's not worth discussing any more

Actually, he was released for personal reasons. Something to do with his family.badav said:puletua isnt anything special, why would you bother bringing up Ali? From what ive heard he's not injured. Hes just not good enough to make the cut anymore. I guess thats what you get for playing in a 2nd rate competition for most of your career.
JJ said:So if Aust win the final, we can say "Aust were just lucky they got to face a NZ team without Williams, Marshall, Puletua, Lauitiiti, Solomona, and Vainikolo?"
Excellent!

Although he wasn't in the best of form while playing. He wasn't performing any worse then some other fellas.
JJ said:good we agree then
Seriously - Aust are the favourites... but this is the worst Australian team I can remember - in the players (esp the forwards) and the form...
I believe that if the Kiwi forwards dominate you will not be lucky enough to get away with a win again... more often than not the dominant pack wins... it's possible, there is certainly some brilliance in that backline, but don't talk about Thurston cutting us up, that's f**king funny... Lockyer may well cut us up, but nobody else will... except running off Lockyer... but if our forwards are on top, that's much less likely
Pritchard was far from uselessbadav said:Asotasi and Wiki are quality. Kidwell and pritchard are useless. Kidwell aint no hitman . Unless you count one head clash with willie mason.
....badav said:Kidwell and Pritchard will get shown up this week. They will go out there try to put on a few big shoulder charges then go missing for the rest of the game.
You made out as though Lockyer was the only Aussie to watch out for. Others pointed out the likes of Thurston and Gasnier and you shrugged them off.JJ said:I wouldn't say Thurston "cut us up" :roll:
He made a break in the second half of injury time when we were down to 14 players and exhausted...
A small man was always going to make a break, and he did it...
He played well, but Jones was at least as good. As was said, everyone played pretty well.
