Feels that way, based on my betting outcomes. :-(

Not yet! If it was instant, the thousands of hours the AIGs have spent practising it wouldn't be needed. We have some catching up to do, if we want to win by emulating their methods. Not just that, but their urgent re-alignment in attack and defence, and putting the ball through the hands in...

Which is what we appear to aiming for. The forwards as a group provide the set of services traditionally associated with specialists.

When a someone picks a player that someone else wouldn't, that's man-love. When someone fails to pick a player someone else has man-love for, they hate that player. Leo Tolstoy's got nothing on that emotional range.

Then fatten up Kurtley Beale.

Imagine that: forming an opinion on a player after just 22 games. ;-)

International rubgy has no pressure? If a new center doesn't aspire to be a Horan or Mortlock, why is he there? Not everyone aspires to the ordinariness of the Internet pundit. That's why they're playing and we're not.

3. Hooper 2. Genia 1. Kerevi

Bigger?

Just beating Folau's an achievement. Kerevi's a keeper. Just needs to improve some skills (like which hand to carry in). His defence has come on leaps and bounds.

Sure, but let's not preclude the idea either. We need some heroes: current world class players. Hodge could be one. I'll put a small wager on it. Permanent world class? Only time will tell, as with all our young players.

Man, you are such a concern troll.

No, he'd tell 'em all to get fucked and wait for *them* to walk away.
