One of the most stinging criticisms you get when being an Oz, living overseas, is that Australians act like seppos and think there is nothing outside there own country. Paullyboy, you make seppos look good.
I prefer test match footy to SOO by a long margin. Pauulyboy thinks we who think like that are clouded by emotion. He is deluded by his insular attitude. Have you ever seen the sea Paullyboy? Have you only ever seen dust swirling around on the horizon?
Why do think internationals are better? Because its about the spread of the game and development of the game. I could not care less whether Qld (which has NSW and Kiwis players in it) wins against NSW or not. Qlders are just red necked Aussies, but they are still Aussies. SOO has the hype, but for the good of the game, the focus HAS to go to test matches.
Kiwis to beat Oz by 16 in a coupla weeks
So are you Australian or Kiwi? With a name and attitude like that you look like you want to have a bet each way. Nothing worse than not knowing who you are.
I watch as much league as anyone on this forum, and you guys keep telling me about how good the kiwis have been - tell me this, are you basing that purely on that one game in Brisbane? Based on that logic Cronulla are still a threat because they also had a good season in 2008.
The Kiwi's are a team with decent forwards and great wingers. They are not an 80 minute football team and when the initial biff and big hit business is out of the way, the far superior football team will win through.
This isn't an opinion clouded by thinking there is nothing outside of Australia. It's fact. We've lost 2 or 3 competitions to them in about 2 or 3 decades. Add to the fact NZ haven't got a hooker capable of playing 80 minutes, a half back worth a pinch of sh*t and a fullback who could best be described as an average NRL player at best.
But no, keep believing that it's me who is wrong because I refuse to believe in fairy tales and the inevitable kiwi hype. It's a sure thing, every year the kiwis are finally going to rise, just like every year the Bunnies are going to have their moment, just like every year the NRL won't have a controversy. Please.
