    @No-Quarter Only problem with that backline is that a token halfback will have to be selected to go with Jordan, Fainga'anuku and Reece

    I’ll hand it to Fozzie, he does know how to mess with some of your heads 🙂

    Mako-Blacks - coming your way soon! 🙂

    Papallii has never had the pace to be a link player at 7

    🤣

    Are you on drugs ? ...do you even realize a 7 should be a fetcher, an openside has to have the pace to link up with the backs, especially with the speed the ABs play, that isn't Papalii, he's too slow for the position & weighs about 115kg, which is why he's better suited to 6 or 8.

    Hahaha, good one Murray Dickhead.... yeah I've never played rugby and I'm on an array of drugs - yet my insight into rugby, players and coaching is still light years beyond your basic, clichéd dross. That must be embarrassing.

    Papalii is quicker than Cane, sharpen up.

    You're a clown, as usual logic goes straight out the window with you - Cane is obviously the faster of the two, also he's 103kg, Whereas Papalii is 113kg.

    Ohhhh shit, yeah bang goes my logic eh... brought down by the amazing logic of "this one's heavier so it must be slower"! 🤣

    That word in bold will make it easy for you to show us the obvious examples. Chop chop Muzza.

    Oh shit I've only just caught up. I didn't realise the we'd regressed to even more kindergarten level education with the weight/speed thing. Stellar work chaps.

    Imagine how fast Cane would have been when he was 5 though if he's so speedy now.

    Bugger. You got me.

    It was all whining negative troll drivel.

    Next thing he'll be telling us how Perofeta's kicking is better because he just swings his leg in a smooth arc and that Reiko Ioane is faster than Laulala because he is lighter.

    Last line is positive

    Surely Foster won’t repeat such a glaring mistake.

    In that he actually beleives that Foster can learn! 😜

    Yeah seems like it probably got banned judging by how it effects people's heads.

    No wonder biomag worked so well on irony man.

    Can't wait to tell all the fellas down the club that I'm heavier and faster than I'm a freak athlete. It's science!

    Sounds to me like the All Blacks need to take a leaf out of the 1905 invincibles. Pretty sure none of those speed freaks would have weighed over 90kg, including the forwards !

    Take Sam Cane. He was 101kg when he made his test début as a 20-year-old in June 2012. He's now 109kg - almost 10 per heavier in five years

    fuck, imagine how slow he must have got

    We're in position where we've got too many players in their early 30's, especially in the forwards... it's up to to coach to know when to drop some of the older players, also to know when to feed one or two new players into the team, otherwise we will have a lot of players retiring about the same time, with us ending up with a pretty inexperienced team.

    People would pay tens of thousands for this kind of unknown revelation bro. You're in the wrong game.

    I'll give you my bank account number & you can send me some of those ten of thousands then 😁 unfortunately all coaches tend to be too bloody loyal to players, so keep them on well past their best.

    @Frank he doesnt look like he carries much fat, so I reckon he could put on 5 easily without compromising much to his game

    That said, I think he will end up as one of those unlucky guys that just never quite makes it, without a doubt good enough, just in such a competitive position and unlucky timing (think if he hadnt been injured in 2020? he'd have made it)

    He is probably an injury away. But it’s a difficult position when young players have been selected ahead of him now. Still hope he makes it.
