@Chris-B. said in The NRL Season of 2016:
It's a bit soccer mum-ish, but I wouldn't be keen on my kids playing league, in the same way I wouldn't want them taking up boxing.
That Storm guy who came in with a swinging arm to the neck that led to the Fifita try - that would have been a definite yellow card in rugby and even a possible red. In league, it's just a penalty and play on.
My favourite part was the Koroibete tackle early that was pretty fucking bad, and "Place ON REPORT" - which is fucked, because its a Grand Final, and secondly, the prick is going to rugby anyway.
Fuck!

Kiwis squad: Gerard Beale, Adam Blair, Jesse Bromwich, Lewis Brown, Greg Eastwood, David Fusitu'a, Tohu Harris, Shaun Johnson, Jordan Kahu, Solomone Kata, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Thomas Leuluai, Issac Luke, Simon Mannering, Te Maire Martin, Manu Ma'u, Jason Nightingale, Kevin Proctor, Jordan Rapana, Joseph Tapine, Jason Taumalolo, Martin Taupau, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak.
Jesse Bromwich is still Kiwis captain for the tournament.

@Sneakdefreak what has Matulino done behind the scenes to piss everyone off?
-
@mariner4life Nothing. He's had surgery and is out.
-
@Sneakdefreak right you are
-
For those in OZ they are showing Samoa v Fiji on ch 507 live right now.
Willing game as expected.
-
That's two weak teams - guessing since it was in Apia that a few players went "nah".

Kiwis named for the test in Perth against Roos:
-
how does square wheels Nightingale keep getting picked?
-
@mariner4life probably because he performs well for the Kiwis. I rate him ahead of DWZ (but my wingers in 2017 are Fusitua and Rapana at this point).
-
@Gunner hes having surgery apparently
-
@taniwharugby Mannering is recovering from surgery so was given an extra week of rehab.
-
NRL news: Greg Bird released by the Titans, Dylan Walker and Aaron Gray in trouble again (this time in Thailand).
-
Australian Kangaroos team: Darius Boyd, Blake Ferguson, Greg Inglis, Josh Dugan, Valentine Holmes, Johnathan Thurston, Cooper Cronk, Matt Scott, Cameron Smith (captain), Shannon Boyd, Boyd Cordner, Matt Gillett, Trent Merrin. Interchange: David Klemmer, Michael Morgan, Tyson Frizell, Sam Thaiday.
-
A few blokes in the twilight of their careers in that team. Guessing Mal isn't worried about a youth policy.
-
i like a lot of our match ups, but their 9/7/6 shits on ours so hard.
