That is why one eats with a knife and fork instead of a fork and knife
Imagine asking for Her Maj to pass you a fork'n'knife at a Buck Palace dinner party?

Unless you get really sneaky and kick on four,...fool's em every time. Such devious tactics.

Or the equally sinister and devious tactic of passing the ball twice on hit up 1, 2 or 3.
Does junior Rugby Lite still award extra points when if try is scored after two passes instead of one?
Doesn't say much about the what the coaches are teaching the players, or the game itself when they need measures like that. No wonder they have such an inferiority complex about Rugby Light compared to AwFuL, Diveball and Heavensgame.

The x-factor in rugby league has been going downhill every year since the Cowboys-Tigers GF...
The top teams are methodical and predictable these days, they play very similar low percentage territory based game plans, and focus on slowing the opposition at the tackle. It's bloody boring to watch and easy to anticipate what's coming.
They introduced the 40-20 so that the defensive team would keep their wingers and fullback out of the defensive line and free up space, it rarely works and teams would prefer to kick on the 5th regardless of a 3 man overlap in attack.

What's surprising? The French clubs appear to have their spies out everywhere, or maybe it is better to say that player agents everywhere are aware of the big money available for mediocre talent in the NH. Not saying that Earl is mediocre. Maybe he is a great player, I have never seen him play, and have only seen his name a couple of times as I speed read the loig pages in my favourite paper.

Perhaps he hoped by heading to France he'd avoid this controversy

Rumour floating around on Twitter that Benji Marshall is in discussions with 'NSW Rugby". Can't imagine it would be the Tahs. Is a Sevens comp in the pipeline? Marquee signing?
Probably just crap.

Probably crap. Not really wanted. Is khoder Nasser his manager?

Now it appears that Marshall's discussion with a rugby team wearing Blue is in fact the Blues.
Sounds as though he is seriously considering the switch after being disheartened about contract discussions with the Tigers.

Gordon Tietjens expressing interest in him as a 7s player. If anyone could convert Benji Tietjens could.

Although he'd play for NZ it would be a huge boost in generating interest in the 7s format in Australia if he did switch.

Can't believe NZ 7's is an option.
His wage would be more than the entire Oz squad.
And the NZ squad i would imagine.

You may be right but the kiwis have a knack of developing League players in challenging positions. SBW playing 12 and Thorne playing lock.

I suppose keep forgetting the amount of RL Thorne played. In SBW's case Toulon would have to take a lot of the credit, by the time he arrived in NZ to play for Canterbury he'd honed a lot of the basics there and was already a cracking player albeit with some rough edges.
