Tele'a

but it is generally speed the wingers lose, right? And he doesn't have that much speed to lose..

Like NMS...

@frugby using fullbacks that are over 24 to promote your theory for a winger doesn't help convince me.

Ok. I'm wrong. Again. Just felt he is indicative of a level of player we should try and retain. And at that time was on a level with Perofeta.

Just struggling to see what you could be referencing, off 4 games over 2 years? Any level of player we should probably try and retain, but wouldn't he be close to eligible for Japan by now if he was any good?

@African-Monkey yeah blink and you miss it right, no idea how you could form the idea he excels at SR let alone deem him good enough for the ABs.

@WoodysRFC I wouldn't call him a bolter, should have been there this year. Fingers crossed he carries his form after his injury.

On second thoughts I want to change my answer to long time lurker @suckdaballs23. That is unless @gt12 is a lot more generous and open minded than his posts suggest.

Intrigued about the 22 predecessors.

How many do you think you've met already?

Met?

Yeah when JB was looking good for Canes/ABs, it was when he was being used as a second five, not as a lock in the backline.

So the BIL needs a blues champions flag or similar for his bar. Any suggestions?

Did Carter win 7s player last year then? Collier seems an odd pick when Carter and Fine were so crucial.

Well, I've just looked outside and it seems I'm not actually overseas.

You'll be able to watch club rugby for a small fee then.

Breaking news: Liam Lawson turns down Red Bull. Says he wants a car that’s “easier to drive”. Multiple other constructors reported to be lining up to sign the prodigious Kiwi talent.

Godammit I traded in my 08 Toyota Auris too early.

I wish.

@Dodge is that TNT? They're the sports arm of discovery it appears and at 30 squid a month, must be making a killing right now.

No, TNT have the English Premiership and the Autumn Internationals, but something called Premier Sports has bought the rights to the European competitions - don't know anyone with Premier Sports in England and don't know any pubs that have it either. Its a moronic decision when you consider the aim of growing the game IMO.

The Champions Cup is a joke now, I don't understand the format, there are 8 of the 10 English teams in it and now i can't watch it either.

Premier sports have been around longer than TNT I thought. They used to have the 7s and a few other rugby comps, thought even internationals. Much cheaper than TNT and available on any sky box.
