NAS: 200cm, 115kg
Sam Whitelock: 202cm, 120kg
Brodie Retalick: 204cm, 120kg
Scott Barrett: 197cm, 118kg

but apparently the ABs missed NAS’s size in the RWC final
For a game that uses up to 14 forwards.. you found 2 taller than NAS. If he had come through to today playing Union ( playing union for a decade) he'd probably be around 120kg too. It's incredibly arrogant to assume he'd add nothing to an AL Blacks team that was bullied by SA in the final.
Exactly how many mistakes is Union going to deny before it's completely dead??

David argyle, an Aussie league tragic put in close to ten million dollars Aussie

The rfl refused to give them any tv money and they had to pay away teams travel costs

They had the highest crowd average ever in league one against clubs that have been around since 1900

their crowds in the champ would again have been close to a record

unlike the other super league clubs their demographic was younger and a much higher percentage of women

they had one end of the ground as a craft beer tent which opened 2 hours before the game and a similar time after

it was so good many other super league clubs copied it including I think hull kr

erec Perez had ottowa ready to go until the poms concluded the city of Toronto offered nothing for the English game

he’s the kind of person nz2 should approach his marketing is way too good for super league

Hull KR drew just 8k in their best season. Perth Red is never at their games as he lives in Perth, yet ridicules me for not flying to Townsville to see the Cowboys run onto North Queensland Stadium.

Perth Red whinged about the ARL dictating that the Western Reds cover the flight and accommodation of their opponents, yet was happy for the RFL to do the same to Toronto.

He's such a hypocrite.

they also stopped paying their bills and the players
when asked for a business plan they failed to supply one
that is why they were dropped out of SL and offered a championship place, which they refused and closed down owing money to people
Western Reds went bust in 1996. News Ltd bailed them out so they could pay their players. The club would have folded in 1996 without News Ltd's bailout money.

If my Grandmother had wheels she would be a bike.

It's meaningless to this discussion.

So nz is launching at Vegas

where is Perth launching at ? Rottnest island ?
" Launching " kinda implies that it hasn't been " launched " yet.. and that there will be a " launch " at a specific time and place:
Vegas, the biggest NRL venture ever where all the key players of the NRL will be in a celebration of the league.

But apparently they are well behind... teams and locations that haven't yet "launched " or plan to " launch "...* A *... bid.. ?
If they have 1 balloon and a six pack... they are 1 balloon and a six pack in front of everyone else..

Hard to believe you're not all the same Union Muppet some times

nah more like perth red alts lol

the union muppet is still on here under 2 alts

the ones that’s always say any kiwi nz player who wants to go to league isn’t good enough for the all blacks

they know every minute detail about union from all blacks down to Npc yet when we talk about fhe warriors they are kinda vague

Anyone who disagrees with me is an Alt.

And yet this clown says nothing about the actual alt @Pippen94

Can you stay over there

average is of Perth and east hull will go up
If you do

then we can worry about which expansion clubs are best for the nrl not the one closest to our house

Now that’s not very nice, I expect better from you.

Do us all a favour and buy a one-way ticket when you fly to the UK.

Your rugby market is tiny compared to the one in Australia

Australia taking so many players is affecting the quality in union

not rocket science

and stop the bs these guys couldn’t play for the all blacks

they beat the best rugby team in the world

the kangaroos
Jesus, you two are back to your usual bollocks again after the Great Dane tried to tank the thread for good with his usual B/S. :D

Who are the players Australia are taking? I'd like a list please so I can rank whether they'd make the ABs or not.

For a game that uses up to 14 forwards.. you found 2 taller than NAS. If he had come through to today playing Union ( playing union for a decade) he'd probably be around 120kg too. It's incredibly arrogant to assume he'd add nothing to an AL Blacks team that was bullied by SA in the final.

Did you not watch any rugby when you "lived" in NZ? Your lack of understanding of the fundamentals of the game are obvious.

Bullied? An 8 man Saffa pack managed to keep 1 point ahead of the 7 man AB pack.

NAS has never even been a regular starter for the Kiwis so as I pointed out earlier there's no way he's going to surpass the Thurston and Johns of AB locks. Oh, and the other guy, Barrett is probably Cooper Cronk level.
