We went 50% against NZ sides this year and we'll be better next year. That's the record book I'm looking in. Anyway, I'm done trying convince people to be optimistic 8 months away from the season starting.

Mate, take a look at yourself. It's June and you're shitbagging our chances for next season. Why are you here?

You are right, was thinking of last year I think.

We beat the Crusaders and Chiefs this year and smashed the Highlanders. We lost a narrow one to the Canes. We got owned by the eventual champions and played terribly away to the eventual runners up in the finals. They’re ripe for the taking. You need to start showing a bit more vulnerability...

I’m speaking into reality my friend. Plus you have lost Swain, one of my favourite players. I’m sorry but your team is washed.

These have been awesome signings. Don’t want to be too cocky but this is an awesome squad and we should definitely destroy every other Aus team easily and finish top 3 or 4. I think there’s no reason we can’t be competitive at the top and humiliate some kiwi sides. Again though, don’t want to be...

I would say Henry is big big. He looks huge compared to others so his stats might actually be true.

After injury he was lifted off his feet a few times but definitely improved over the later rounds. I don’t think he was bossing anyone even at the end but given his experience and leadership in the squad, if not the captaincy, I’m certain he’ll be starting the first test against Wales.

Where am I going to discuss obscure Japanese tv shows with 2 other anonymous people now?

Argentina has come off the boil quite a bit of late and France are current champions while Fiji is Fiji.

I believe the comment referred to amateur club rugby in NZ. This belief is based on social media exposure.

That seems like the best possible outcome for both our teams.

How did Sio go? Also Cornelsen?

I think that is true wrt to their junior careers but in my mind where you start off as a pro is where you start off really.

The Force got worse as the season went on which coincided with his signing. I didn’t see anything to say he is good enough. Especially in a sport that values strength in contact more than ever. Ultimately it is just one selection and Kellaway and Wright are technically converted wingers though.

Wow. That is rough. And I believe match payments are lower now than they were 10 years ago too.

Are you saying that the players pay their own way to camp?

What does this mean?

They probably want a lot of things. TBH wouldn’t be opposed though.

I think there is an element of validity to that reading but my perception is that AFL and soccer have been more successful in NSW which eats the lunch of both Rugby and League but especially League. Rugby only competes with League in QLD. At least my perception.
