Geez, increased crowd numbers for a winning sports team don't equate to 'fair weather fans'. Many of those increased crowds will be families, out for the spectacle. Often they are fans from other sports, or general sports fans off the street. To characterise them as fickle supporters is really...

Gilbert learned. He was just as bad as Quade and now he's a machine.

More meat than the Macca's Haka.

Who would sign a contract with him in the NRL?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Hornes starting, come the sharp end of the tournament. Deans has the same hard on for Horne as he has for Vickerman.

That's not true at all. After this year has passed, the 2011 TN will have the same weight as all the others. It's only right now that it seems less important.

It's like that white fern's always gonna look like a feather.

He may have pushed his options, but he also made a clean line break, a decent half break, a try saving tackle and the intercept that closed down the game. If Fingers had done half those things (well, he did do a try-saving tackle) then the forum would be in a frenzy of adulation. We expect...

No one has said that or anything like it. You've merely replaced your pseudo-epistemological humbug with hyperbole in order to try to make it fly better. :lmao:

The perfect example of why a box kick can be good was Samo's try. Everyone onside, moving forward at speed, and the ball contestable. We are on the front foot whether we win or lose the ball.

What an odd thing to say. By that argument, any postulate is 'counterfactual' and 'conditional'. We may as well go home in that case, and leave Rugby Heaven to report the 'facts'.

The big difference is that O'Connor very ably sets up his supports, and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) never does. Admittedly that is less crucial for a winger, but when they are in a roving role it is crucial.

Yep I missed that. Sorry vidiot. :)

Genia Cooper Ioane Barnes AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) / McCabe / Fainga'a / Horne Mitchell Beale

I hope you mean cemented, since you 'cement in', but 'concrete over'.

Scotty's dropping of Beale extends across many threads over a long period of time. We can take it as a given.

You don't sound especially displeased. ;)

There is no chance at all - zero, nada - that JOC (James O'Connor) will be moved in front of Barnes for the replacement 10 spot if Barnes is fit, and rightly so. Barnes is an experienced international 10 and a very good one. JOC (James O'Connor) is still so wet behind the ears it isn't funny.

Beale hasn't grubbered for the past half dozen games - someone obviously sent him your text a few months ago.

3. Dan Vickerman - a monster 2. Radike Samo - another monster 1. James Horwill - fantastic first captain's knock
