I'd not change any of the laws to begin with. Instead, I'd rather have an audit, for want of a better word, of 'offences' that are frequently penalised in professional-level games but which are not clearly offences under the laws as written. The pupose of this is fairly obvious: if something...

There are of course many, many reasons, other than size / body shape, to question how many league forwards would do well in rugby. But considering only size / body shape, here are few that would have been worth a look if they had expressed an interest in playing the game somewhere not too...

Not Strayan of course, but Nehe Milner-Skudder has most assuredly been visibly playing the XV-a-side code since leaving RL U-20s.

My poor spouse was on the end of a rant to this effect until she insisted I STFU. So - yeah.

I think my son's still got the relevant ticket glued to his wall (along with lots of others). This was such a surprise result that only a few years later I was - and I shit you not - wondering if I imagined it / saw it on TV.

The answer to that will depend on how much store you place in TV money and annual attendance numbers here in Straya. Not which you code you prefer.

Absofarkanlutely! He missed / muffed tackles by moving out of the line too fast and at least once left a hole that was exploited. I really like Ant as a player but thought he had a shite game in defence.

Yes. Other players' missed tackle stats would need to be higher for Izzy to trouble the scorer in respect of tackles made.

Is this your way of predicting that he'll be a back-of-the-lineout option lifted by a fumble-fingered Will Skelton?

I think the correct collective noun is 'a dis-satisfaction'.

How many were directly tested? Mr K Beale was the subject of the proceedings and no-one else.

That by god is a huuuge call! But to address the question in the thread title: few of last night's 'roos team on last night's performance. (Altho' a few would otherwise be in consideration). The Kiwis no.7, though, is a different matter. Hell of an impressive player - but maybe more or a...

I signed up myself and Ms MungoSpouse for another year yesterday. I wasn't packing a sad or anything - just slack and slow off the mark. The Reds reminder email worked, in other words...

How many souprugby teams are domiciled here? And then compare that with the number of Oz-domiciled RL teams. Then consider there is a 'national' (in reality, Qld and NSW) youth cup comp in RL but not in RU. And also consider that the next rung down from the NRL still contracts players...

All of which are valid points. And there are others. D) How to account for kids who played rugby at school but were most recently playing RL, e.g national youth cup, NRL feeder club age-group comp, etc? If a draft is reasonably seen as a disincentive for such kids to consider code-swapping...

I certainly thought so. Particularly as the other games I've been to recently - bar the last - have featured the Reds getting hosed...

Most astute, fat_prop. Highly perceptive. (Which is another way of saying, it sounds very much like the unsolicited commentary I myself inflict on my long-suffering wife and son). Be nice to see the odd short inside ball from Genia to a flying back running inside out or a dummied No.10...

Yes - one of the few unequivocally positive things about last night's trip to Suncorp was noting that Ben T is defo getting his old form back. I wondered if this was on the cards back at season's start (or it might have been the Toowoomba trial?) when he came out looking like he'd had his jaws...

Not the full wombat, then. Eats and leaves; no roots.
