Most tries, then net try differential.

^^^^ That'd be Nic White. Jake's a bit past it.

Rob Clarke certainly seems to be doing an ok job in the interim, I suspect he’s being guided by McLennan, but regardless if you/didn’t know the history he looks good from the outside. However, there is plenty of baggage there and if RA is to progress it needs a completely fresh start.

It’s not like for like though. NZ has always had a good geographical spread of its players across the country, whereas Australia has them concentrated in NSW and Qld.

which is 15, Hodge or Maddocks?

Dave Moffetts comments are irrelevant, however I don’t agree with either he or Eddie regardless, but they are singing from a different song sheet to the kiwis

‘Shutdown risk’ is too high in the People’s Republic of New Zealand. They need to do it where there is the greatest chance of allowing a decent crowd.

I was going to articulate something similar. Presumably they were filming from the scoreboard. Anyone who was allowed to be there would have been directly below that and it’s entirely possible that the acoustics made it sound like there were more people than there actually was, or at least all...

I heard that one too, but had a couple of sherbies on board so thought I might have misheard it.

Does the 24 hour rule for a red card sanction stand for SRAU?

Yes it’s the narrative to create an All Blacks development league. Fuck that.

I can’t see any way that he wouldn’t be Wallabies eligible, it doesn’t appear that he has lived anywhere other than Australia for at least the last 10 years. His home nation of choice at the last powerhouse Rugby League World Cup was Cook Islands.

I don’t actually have a strong opinion on the matter. The point was that 3 successive Wallabies coaches had the same one.

Somehow you made it look like Bobby said that, not Derpus

They were both World class, and they have different skill sets. The biggest similarity between the two was their size, which was always the selection conundrum. If one of them was 6 inches taller they would have been the perfect flanker pairing.

Yes but that wasn’t Cheika, it was Deans. Then Link, then Cheika. And those same coaches also had Pocock to choose as well.

I concur with that.

Agreed. There is always going to be a bit of parochial bias in a process like this, and that’s fine. I think if you removed all the votes where the player is voted in by someone who supports their team you would still end up with largely the same team as it’s the players who get noticed enough...

I’d have to rewatch it, I just looked them up as I didn’t even notice he was playing. I use the Union Live app, I’m not sure where they get theirs from.

No according to the ones I am looking at Miller had 2 carries for 26m. However I confess I had Samu’s the wrong way around, he had 3 carries for 6m gained.
