“Bart gets to ride up front today because he’s a good guy at sports” - fan of anything and everything there is to do with sports. Main loves are the NBA, NFL, NRL and of course Rugby. From New Zealand so have a tall poppy perspective on everything and a bit of an underdog complex as well. Trying to provide a mix of humour and insight in everything I do.

I believe you! If you didn’t know though, man he’s a scary looking fulla!
The NRL dark alley all stars
Offical listed on NRL.com, unsure when they do the weigh ins as I assumed he was bigger. And yea big Nelson would be a scary sight, however he seems like a gentle giant off the field so might offer you his coat instead.

Agreed, wouldn’t want to meet the dirty players down a dark alley late at night!

Yea Rudolf definitely has that fear factor! Talaki as well. More we could have added but Scott throws a great straight right!
The NRL dark alley all stars
Not a villian list – simply players to be afraid of late at night. Kaufusi hasn’t got enough hair to concern me 🙂

Good stuff Ashwin, it is a joy to watch at the moment. They are playing awesome footy!
Are we witnessing the greatest NRL season of all time?
Oh definitely. Absolute machine! I do think every team needs a bit of luck to be great, even if they are the hardest workers in the room!
Are we witnessing the greatest NRL season of all time?
Fair point. There definitely is more bottom feeders than you usually see. Probably a top 5 this year. I still think if they do the undefeated they have to be considered great, if not the greatest minor premiership team for the roster and dominance they have shown.
Are we witnessing the greatest NRL season of all time?
Great point David. And all of the great teams have been lucky, otherwise they wouldn’t be great! Old example but if Michael Jordan gets injured, the Chicago Bulls aren’t winning anything, they were great because he stayed injury free. Lucky for sure but everyone needs a bit of luck. They are dominating at the moment and seem to have adapted to tackle height changes better than most.
Are we witnessing the greatest NRL season of all time?
Agreed it’s should be clear cut by the end of the year. Those two look streets ahead
Are we witnessing the greatest NRL season of all time?
That game could be the only one that stops them from going 24-0. Even 23-1 would put them amongst the greats but I agree, they are the 2 top teams this year by a long way.
Are we witnessing the greatest NRL season of all time?
They have had some great luck as well, but surely all of the great teams have. Hard to be great when your best players are injured. 12 more games to find out.
Are we witnessing the greatest NRL season of all time?
I miss the early 2000s when the Wallabies were strong and every AB’s/Wallabies game was a battle of epic proportions, never knowing who would win. Its a shame that it has become so one-sided as the game has become predictable and boring. Be awesome if Aussie can get their strength back.
How to fix Australian rugby's trans-Tasman problem
I feel like this could be written in 2 words.
How to fix Australia’s trans Tasman rugby problem: get better

Don’t do this to me. Don’t get me excited about the Warriors again
The Warriors' future looks bright
Context: Ravens fan. But no. The browns cannot. They are the Browns
Can the Browns be AFC champs?
If he keeps up the form he had displayed, he would run away with it. However, as you said. Gotta stay fit!

An old guard for sure, but this team knows how to win. Damien Mackenzie, Dalton Papali’i and Patrick Tuipulotu the tough omissions.
I would rather watch an All Blacks trial
