Yep, they lost to NZ by 4 points in NZ last year. They've beaten Australia and South Africa a couple of times in recent years. This moment has been building. They've faced possibly more adversity than NZ and Australia during covid. A lot of things can galvanize a side that has begun getting...

I can think of half a dozen reasons for the Argentinian performance that has fuck all to do with Chieka. In fact your insistence that it's all to do with a bloke who's been in a consulting role for a couple of weeks is downright arrogant and disrespectful to a fucking fantastic team effort in...

I think Chieka is getting far too much credit here.

It's made the competition very interesting indeed. I'm looking forward to next Saturday with much more anticipation than I did before 4pm this afternoon. Experimentation is out!

Except they have heaps of gas, they haven't played all year. Confidence and momentum go a long way in sport. Write the Pumas off at great peril, the Kiwis did. Remember the recent losses we had to them?

I'm waiting for the day a kiwi, any kiwi will give team that totally outclasses the All Blacks in every facet of play the credit for a win. Not just aw shucks, we played shite.

Short memories eh.

Hopefully more Scott-Young than Dempsey. Need longevity over a one hit wonder.

3: Koribete 2: Hodge 1: Paisami

I'm most happy that Ben Mowen could go out with a club premiership win. He's a rare breed of player in the modern world and well deserves this long cherished achievement.

3: BPA 2: Wilson 1:Kotobete Honorable mention LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) until unfortunate injury.

Perhaps it was a combination of the two. At least Lolesio has the excuse of inexperienced youth. We really missed an experienced head midfield, it was always going to be a tough ask. I hope both young men can come back stronger from the experience.

Sorry, I don't usually make comment on individual player performances & I'll temper how I really feel about it, but Simone was NOT solid. Not even close to solid. It was possibly the worst debut I've witnessed. I won't throw up any potential players as a replacement but geez I hope he doesn't...

Easier said than done with the Covid situation though Dan, as we've just witnessed with the Rugby Championship. Rugby's strength and point of difference as an international game has hobbled it in a pandemic.

Yes, the reports I read all said that all re-signed coaching staff etc were only offered 12 month deals due to the current uncertainties.

That would be confusing for him seeing as he isn't signed on as a coach. Also don't see how it's a poach. Wouldn't he have to be involved with rugby first for league to poach? Reckon he sees it as a business opportunity & some easy money.

NewsCorp bullshit talk. Fodder for the NRL insatiables. He's on record saying his heart is in rugby, the game he grew up playing and knowing. The lad has speed off the mark and over distance. He's got a leap and a good eye. Seems to have a humble attitude. I reckon he's a lot to get excited...

Why would the Reds reneg on the deal? Where did that come from?

It'd be bumped for sure. Won't be in HD & will have some commentator that has no clue on the game, like Hadley ala 2011 World Cup.

Shaw was a 6 and you forgot the actual GOAT Mark Loane!
