A lot of these kids coming from Blacktown Scorpions. Not sure how much love they get from rugby union. Penrith was killed off and Parramatta is not flourishing. Yet this is where the talent volume is based, not lower north shore or eastern suburbs. Good luck to them

Risati Kings for my mind. If he gets on the paddock anyway.

While it impacts the effectiveness of our bench I think we could even consider starting Hooper at 7. Won’t be as quick but in the first half of a test physically more important. As game opens up can move to 6 or be replaced.

Watch them plonk him in the centres

Can you have a chat to Perret and Hilgendorf for me and get a 10 on his back when playing for the sky blue and white?

True. To me it means juniors predominantly but also includes everything up to and including Shute Shield. Without the under 10s we won’t have a product in a generation. I’ve a NW Sydney bias and the number of junior clubs disappearing is heartbreaking. Even bigger north shore clubs like...

I know Phil socially, good guy, great family man and rugby through and through. While not solely his call, the hiring of Joe is the best thing for Australian rugby in a decade. But, he is not a CEO, at least not yet. Strategy and execution is a key requirement and what Australian rugby...

Really? He’s a nice bloke to have a beer with but woefully under qualified for a CEO gig. His banking roles leveraged his network, not his non existent management skills. Shore school to the fore, to the detriment of Australian rugby, a la the last 30 years of incompetence.

Finishing forward pack for Wobs is noice.

The double barreled New wing

lol yeah fair play I’ll cop that one. I’m not a fan but not every muppet gets over 100 games. Nice meme.

Was a bit to take away. advertisers may not like it but I love a full stadium in the afternoon. A real mix of ages in the crowd as well, was great. I thought we actually looked good with ball in hand but did not respect opposition enough and pushed a lot of passes. On another day we could have...

Their defence in the backs is poor. Just fking run it

Jacques in Opens squad, he has potential to go all the way. Reminds me a little of Ben Tune, pace and swerve.

I hope someone up the food chain takes a shine to Marshall. Not big enough but fk it, an amazing 7. If he stays injury free and bulks up could be one of the best ever. From not a Shore fan.
