Sign him for 3 years to super and aru top up with sabbatical for up to two years in Japan provided he plays RC and one of spring tour and incoming fall tour. He makes $1.5 or something first three years and then aru top him up $500k to Play those tests and Panasonic or someone fronts him $1-1.5M...

He looked like a guy who should be contemplating retirement

Get fainga off

This guy is so good. Holy shit. If this was AFL I reckon he’d be at 20 touches

Don’t think I’m a fan of SBW as a commentator

I wouldn’t say he dove. He tried to milk it for sure. If he doesmy drop to knees there’s probably no penalty. yellow card obviously wrong call. Needs to be some Discretion in how you dole the cards out. Make it a penalty and tell him another one and he’s off and tell Nic to ease up

Not sure I’ve ever seen a defensive display by a winger as good as this.

Need to move the line up quicker. Looks predictable and ponderous

What hissy fit? He benched a player who didn’t perform to the level expected of him and who also didn’t perform in his previous game. I would go Phillip and Arnold w frost in the bench. Worry that swain is a liability but he is physical so could see his benefit. I would have Samu in the 23 and...

I feel like the tactics are solid. When we are on we look deadly. It’s a question of cattle and ultimately execution. We don’t really have a 10 or a 15 That harms us. Don’t really have a worldy second wing. Valentino great. Hooper great. 6 - I’d go Halloway leota or even Samu?? Second row is...

Don’t care. He will need some superb form in Australia A or next seasons super rugby for me. fullback for me is kellaway I guess. Shocking we don’t have a better option there. flyhalf - crap shoot for a young gun to step up locks - Phillip and Rodda 7 - hooper Front row - not who we had today...

Was just thinking the same Quite a few 2nd to 4th string picks to back that up but enough good cattle there that it should’ve at least been close

not very good JOC (James O'Connor) probably played his last test? Wright not very good. Too many missed tackles by forwards. Bad discipline. Arnold anonymous (again)

I just don’t rate Tom wright at test level full stop. He’s had chances like Tom banks (tho wright worse). Time to move on. Not seeing much in attack at the moment in general. Pretty much poor across the park. Some terrible calls by ref too

10 the biggest concern and would be nice to have a backup 12 who could rumble like kerevi. 15 don’t love the situation but I feel like there’s more “close enough” depth there than at 10. I think end of year tour will be a great time to try some teams out. Would be amazing if they took...

Will Skelton and tom banks have never left a great impression other than one filled with “ifs” With Arnold, rodda, Phillip, swain and neville plus now luke Jones coming back I’m not sure we need big will anyways? I thought he was poor in his two tests. How many tests do you give the guy o/s to...

I said it in another thread but i think NZRU and ARU need to come together and realize they do in fact need eachother. keep fiji and moana pasifika in the tournament add two more australian teams and kiwis and aussies are eligible for national teams regardless of which super rugby team they play...

wouldn't you just call them the Brisbane Reds and the Gold Coast/South Brisbane/whatever Moreton Bay Bugs. The Sydney Waratahs and the Paramatta/Western Sydney whatever. I don't think the world implodes if the Queensland Reds become the Brisbane Reds. as an existing rugby fan, you can decide if...

Super rugby is all about money. With Japan going full professional I don’t know how they really stop it. they need to find the money and that could come from real alignment with NZ as both should know they are tied at the hip. And realistically NZ and the pacific islands have enough depth that...

Ya I love watching smith play like I loved watching quade back in the day but see how he goes vs South Africa or France (he didn’t do much against us to be fair) I think he played some More traditional matches in the UK and six nations and played well tho so I think he can do both.
