look at that, there is a test. Way to market the game rugby league.
it says a lot that it's in the 'gong
Having seen the team lists, we're going to get touched up
I think we're Bromwich and NAS (and an actual 13) away from winning it ... but yes without them we will get touched up.
yea, absolutely, 2, maybe 3 players out of the 17 will be the difference...
When two of them are those two props then yes.

You don't think those two props and say James Fisher Harris/Isaac Liu over Blair would make a huge difference to this Kiwis team?

yes, but not enough. They are better in basically every position.
And we've had better prop rotations than them in the past and still got pasted.

Sheesh man, we can say that about nearly every team selected. The squads are similar to last year (we're slightly weaker in some areas in the backs but better in others), aside from the props/loose forward, and we touched them up (by 2
) so I would have been quietly confident if we had those two and any other loose forward.Agree to disagree ...

our best hope, as always, is that by this time of year they don't GAF. Premiership is done. Origin is miles off. They would rather be in Bali. We ambush them with lessor players trying hard.
Twas ever thus.

well, yes, that
And the Taipans are in Adelaide

@mariner4life How the hell did they beat (hammer???) Perth away? I'm still smarting over that as that was a banker in a seven leg multi, and the only one that did not come in believe it nor not!

in Perth, for some reason, we are a decent shot.
But yea, that was unreal

Hey start your own soccer/basketball/afl/bowls (delete appropriate) thread, this is the bogan/state house rugby discussing thread.

The possession is starting to tell too - they've had four extra sets.

I think we have to roll the dice and move the ball around

Yeah, we kind of did that on that last set and looked like we had some half chances.
