    That’s two r’s as in Garry. But jokes aside I think tribe scribes need to understand that there are blokes who are where they are for different reasons And that’s totally fine . If someone wants to pursue an opportunity it doesn’t necessarily follow that they are a dickhead. Conversely...

    How many of you blokes are one company / one organisation career men who never question the over arching authority of your organisation ? For those of you who don’t respond may I be the first to congratulate you all on your indentured servitude

    I can understand this guy being across 10's that are further along , like Lolieso, Harrison , Lucas , Pasitoa (especially on his star turn on the 18's tour in the UK last year) and Gordon Senior. But to be honest what would he really have seen of the young fella other than he's someone's...

    Sure. And agreed. I meant to refer to collision power generally , although , I do admit I specifically referenced post contact meters that everyone geeks out on these days. But collision power also is meant to cover the ability to stop or keep attacking players behind the game line as a...

    Comments around Wright and lack of size for 6 sort of gets you thinking around a bigger issue about how backward Rugby is in its thinking compared to other contact / collision football codes here in Australia and also overseas. The focus should be more orientated toward power to weight rather...

    Bearing in mind that Lukhan at Left Lock gives you increased mobility as well. Wright gives you a legit 3rd jumping option too. I wouldn't be too worried by trying to play "traditional/positional" body types in the back row. That shit gets dwelled on way too much. Play your best guys and if...

    A couple of years ago before things changed and went up a cliff face for 16-18 year old “talent” I might add I wasn’t really referring to whatever was thrown around initially - whether it was $2k , $20k or $300k (Sam Walker money) I was referring to the ultimate Ponga like money he will...

    Re : Hamiso Tabui-Fidow AFL were going hard after him as well and when he left BGS the story was he was most interested in AFL Ultimately ( and obviously ) he’s now League aligned . A genuine game winner in his own right that with Ponga are the 2 most electric back prospects I have seen in...

    Kickers. Plural. ^3 were used on the day . There was nothing wrong with the first choice - just got hooked after 2 good strikes that just didn’t get there. What was questionable was handing it over to a young fella who was the youngest lad in the team and then a 3rd choice ( after 2nd choice...

    If you look at any Pro Team in any Sport or League around the World , irrespective of how they have been built - whether it is draft , or in the absence of draft , just in development from within their own pathway -farm system ........90% of the time, a predominate reliance on a youth group has...

    Hagwarays good value at the 12.5- No kicking game , unsettledness at the play making positions , no depth in the set piece (and they’ll need it)+ the end of a brutal 3 weeks on the road in playing in 35 degree heat , altitude , and across 3 x continents with a young / inexperienced team - does...
