OT: Goodwin a Kiwi

[mean_maori_mean]

you're joking ?

on form alone (which i think players should be selected on :roll: ) Goodwin has the spot.

perretts a f/back
tuiaki is a tongan rep
nightingale is useless - cant make the drags 1st grade squad.
manu is a legend - but he'll be under the knife.

Come on Ozbash - it aint form alone.

It is also talent - of which Goodwin is limited.

Bulldogs are the most talented team they simply play as a team and have the right balance.

Blokes like el masri, goodwin and Warburton are nothing special just do their role. i.e they look good.

Goodwin however will most likely selected - however SKD might get bagged however he is in a crap team/crap coaching but has twice the potential goodwin does.

I would pick him over Goodwin.

Goodwin is deadset average IMO.

However I dont say that because of his lack of kiwiness.

He is maori and for me that is good enough for me. Obviously the family have alot to do with nsw maori comp and he has played in the a few times - which shows a connection to his roots.

Go watch the comp in september in sydney - awesome up and coming talent on show.

and as for Nightingale being crap not even close. He is a better winger than Sailor no doubt IMO.
One of my favourite players tbh - goes hard.

 

[mean_maori_mean]

He's as Kiwi as Pritchard and Nightingale and Stanley and Kenny-Dowall and Cayless.

Thats debateable.

Consireding SKD grew up in Ngaruwahia.

Not denying his links though - at least unlike fien he has them.

They all have links nightingale, stanley and cayless are all part maori with most of their fam still in NZ.

Speaking of grannygate....does that mean when Fein who quite possibly has shifted back to Australia permanently applies to become an aussie again after living there for 4 years is allowed to be one?

brent webb >>>>>> perrett.

how is Webb is going (dont watch ESL), but when he came down for last years ANZAC test, I can't remember him featuring much in the match.

Have to agree with a lot of what you've said here - in fact I would say Bronx has more potential, and winterstein has more than the both of them combined.

 

[ozbash]

it is that you don't know your arse from your elbow.

lol, who is warriors #7.
Bet you spend a lot of time wiping your elbow..:lol:

Come on Ozbash - it aint form alone.

it has to be, or go back to the good ol days of picking on reputation.

nightingale is a speedbump, a judder bar on a footy field. not good enough for 1st grade but good enough for a kiwi squad ? come on..

Tuiaki is a Tongan, so is Fui...

 

[ozbash]

Nightingale was probably our best player on the park in the ANZAC test this year.

:lol::lol:

 

[Drzoidberg]

f**k man have you heard him talk? Aint nothing aussie about that boy. Feral as f**k.

Yeah he's kiwi as, I was coming from the angle of born in Oz but has Kiwi family

 

[Drzoidberg]

Nightingale is injured and is good enough for 1st grade (because Wayne Bennett sez so).....but have to say he's a bit overrated, good player and a good attitude.

Ben Roberts is a Samoan is he still a kiwi?

 

[ozbash]

has he played for Samoa ?

 

[Drzoidberg]

has he played for Samoa ?

Yes he played 3 games for them last year.

 

[Drzoidberg]

and he was born in Australia, hmm I wonder what kiwi link he has possibly the same as Moi Moi but Tuiaki was born here and lived here till he was about 20 so he is a Kiwi

Picking on reputation - well Ropati would be playing fox memorial if that was the case.

Jokes aside - my point is he is playing for a good team and doing his role but he aint that good.

No way he should be fast tracked into kiwi team. I feel tuiaki is more deserved at this case and it perret.

Tuiaki was shut out from the kiwis and probably thought he would never get selected.

They told him so and told them to go and play for tonga - same for Roberts.

bullsh*te he aint good enough for first grade. a judder bar he is much like perrett in that he doesnt everything at a 100%.

Goodwin is too slow.

 

[ozbash]

well Ropati would be playing fox memorial if that was the case.

agree, but he was part of the W/C squad so he got the nod.
He doesnt deserve to go any further on current 'form',, he has none.

Re nightengale, you rate him (which is cool), I dont.

makes for a good argument if nothing else..

Perrett is nobody on the wing, he's bloody good at the back though, as he has showm.

Not that I am surprised, but that comeback makes no sense, so as usual, you have no comeback.

And just because you want Stacey Jones in your arse, it doesn't make him your elbow

 

[MKEB...]

He's as Kiwi as Pritchard and Nightingale and Stanley and Kenny-Dowall and Cayless.

...Kenny Dowell is a kiwi, off his own back he flew to aus to get a contract, correct me if I am wrong but chase stanley is from Rotorua (possibly might be Rangi Chase...one of the two).

IMO most Kiwis have british heritage, but do you see us claiming Pommy jumpers?

 

[Beavers Headgear]

If you don't rate Nightingale Oz, I would suggest you contact the Warriors, you would fit into their recruitment team :lol:

 

[ozbash]

I think he's soft actually.

bit of a denam kimp

 

[Scott]

I'm a big fan of Nightingale. He'll be on the left wing for the 4 nations I reckon.
Safe as a church on defense and has something about him with ball in hand.

(i'm assuming Manu will be unfit to tour of course).

Rangi Chase is from Dannevirke.
