    A kiwi side with one Warriors player in it

    And he's playing shithouse.

    If ever there was a damning indictment on a club, it's that right there.

    (also the fuck did we become the Vodaphone Warriors? no wonder guys leave when they are surprised they have to move to NZ)

    And can someone explain to be when Shaun Johnson became a "legend"? Anyway, he's been cut from the kiwis. Hugely shocking i know

    Pleased for DWZ making the Kiwi squad. His effort hasn’t lacked all season even with all the crap.

    dude, that's faint praise. effort and ability are two very different things.

    I haven't watched much NRL for a couple a years. How do the Kiwis stack up?

    Couple of top level talents. A smattering of mid-level talents.

    Some that wouldn't get a gig at a top 4 club.

    who do you call the top level talents? because I would say there are more than a couple (two)

    I don’t think he’s played that bad. Scored in traffic, hasn’t been a turnstile like several others, good on the high ball. Plus he has versatility to play a couple of positions

    Manu and Fisher-Harris

    Probably the only two player we have who would play Origin

    he's far from the main problem at the Warriors, and maybe i am being unduly harsh, but i don't see nailed on first-grader there, let alone test player.

    although I suppose Neither are better than the current starters with the possible exception of Luai if Cleary's not playing

    When did Sorensen decide to be a Kiwi? IIRC his uncle Kurt told one of his own sons that he wasn't a Kiwi because he didn't grow up in NZ.

    @mariner4life What's this Neame guy like? Also what position does he play?

    Neame is a lock. Bit of a weapon. Plenty of size about him. Is a bench player for a full strength Cowboys side.

    Maybe a couple of seasons ago. He’s been very up and down. Agree on Tapine.
