I tend to agree with BR that Skelton and Kerevi should and probably will start. They're point of difference players at their best and we need that kind of impetus if we're going to beat England, who really should have won on the weekend. Skelton provides an answer to the maul, which has been a...

There's no reason why Wright can't join the back line as a second distributor, especially if we pick two big centres. KB (Kurtley Beale) did it from the wing back in in RWC2015.

Great skills from the big fella. I really hope we see this in gold too.

England will be filthy that they didn't win that game, particularly those two opportunities at the end. Their defence harried the AB's all game and there was a lot of dropped ball or general inaccuracy. The Kiwis did score a couple of excellent tries though and that should have been enough. But...

I'd love to see Samu take his rightful spot at 12 back and tear it up on this tour

I used to get worked up about the NH accusations of poaching by Oz and NZ until I looked into it further. A lot of these lads come here as kids with their families in search of economic opportunity and they play all through our school/age group systems. What are we supposed to do, not pick them...

Yep, he hit the nail on the head. All this talk about not producing enough cattle I think is off base. Clearly other nations think pretty highly of our blokes, otherwise they wouldn't be nicking them! It's a bit like the business I work for, a small technology consultancy with a group of super...

I'd be inclined to pick McReight as the long term captain, because a, he's one of the best opensides in the world right now, b, he's an automatic pick when fit and c, he's captained before at U/20's level.

Yep, Aussie Rules and to a lesser extent basketball are the sports for our big (tall) boys. If you're a country lad you're generally playing footy. Also cricket, because most quick bowlers are also tall lads too. We're dominant in that sport domestically right now. Union is a much bigger sport...

I resemble that remark!

Who doesn't love a good haiku

A lot of truth there. We have a problem at 12 right now and it's not helping any of our young 10's. Imagine if we had a fit Kerevi busting the line and smashing blokes in defence. The results would be different I suspect.

It really is amazing how many good footballers we produce only to see them playing for someone else.

Because rugby league is shit and I don't want it in WA

No, good.

I think the proposition that we try to get up to say half a dozen of these kids into a proper elite system after graduating from the U/18's is a good one. Not everyone is going to step up in the seniors but if we continue to push hard on the development in the under 14/16/18's and couple it with...

Looks like the NRL bid to expand West is dead for the moment. The headline on WA Today is: Western Bears bid is dead: NRL severs ties with consortium after "low ball" proposal.

There was no praise of EJ (Eddie Jones)'s appointment from me. Quite the opposite in fact. Your point is well made though.

He sure did, but he also had one of the greatest to ever play the game in Mark Ella standing alongside him at 10.

Some of our results under senior level over the past couple of years have given me real hope. Well done boys.
