Shame he goes and spoils all that good work with a stack of shitty box kicks.

The problem with Hawera was that he wasn't good enough, not so much that he was from overseas. He would have been eligible for Australia this year I think if he was still around.

Reckon Pulu and/or Muirhead might still be ahead of Kata and Wright come round one.

I thought he meant Paul Roos' son, Tyler Roos. He should be free now the Amazing Race has finished.

Do you really want to be taking lessons from the team that just a few months ago had the biggest loss in NRL finals history?

The drop in membership prices probably helped a fair bit.

Think the residency rule has been changed to five years?

If White starts he'd be able to take those shots at goal. Might not quite have the range of Hodge but not far off it. Or at least he used to, not sure how much kicking at goal he's done since he's been overseas.

The fact that both the AFL and NRL grand finals were predicted to be fairly one sided affairs wouldn't have helped the ratings. I suspect some of your more casual observers wouldn't have bothered watching because they thought they'd just see a flogging (as was the case in the AFL).

If you need someone at 10 to soak up the rush defence in the first half then To'omua’s the guy surely, more robust than Foley or CLL and more willing just to charge it up. If he’s still in one piece after half time then space might open for him, or if he’s worn out then CLL or Foley come on when...

Are we allowed to substitute a player that was carrying an injury into the tournament, or only someone who has picked up an injury during the tournament?

Chris Tindall, formerly of the Chiefs and ABs https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/who-s-coming-and-going-chris-tindall-takes-on-brumbies-retention-job-20181009-p508ko.html

Maybe the new coach is involved with the RWC and they’re waiting until that’s finished to make the announcement? Or they’re looking at who might become available after the RWC?

Jake the Muss as Eddie Jones??? https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2019/08/8a5bdd2cedde-rugby-brighton-miracle-film-set-for-release-before-world-cup.html

I reckon there'd be a fair chance Powell will go overseas for a year or two at the end of next season. Not much point being stuck behind White and would probably be good for his development.

Maybe the master plan is to get the refs to actually penalise the rush defence for being offside?

If he’d only signed for a year I’d have guessed he was just keeping the seat warm until Nic White arrived. But if it’s for two years I’m guessing that might mean White is headed to the Brumbies?

Gee, if Mike Fraser's Wikipedia profile is anything to go by we could be in trouble: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Fraser_(rugby_referee) "He needs to invest in contact lenses as he cannot see on a rugby field. A blind bat can see better than him. He is the worst ref in the super rugby...
