I tried ribbing my (Tiger fan) friends a year or 2 ago that it was the Waratahs’ spiritual home, after we beat the Crusaders there.

What the Rebels players should be demanding to know, as Twiggy's ex-rival throws a familiar hail Mary

I went to a Tigers game at Leichhardt Oval the other day (2nd or 3rd league game of my life, a friend who is a season ticket holder took me), 15,000 and packed, fantastic atmosphere.

Or share home games, some at the new stadium

15,000 sounds given the running costs of that stadium will presumably be lower than a 60% empty 40,000 seater.

It’s a vibe.

'He'd been flogged to death': Rebels GM's scathing Tupou claim as Wallaby battles to reignite his fire

What personal attack?

Do you get that no one can say with certainty what single factor caused a calf or Achilles injury. But we know higher loads increases your risk.

The guy is a THP. He can’t operate well at 110kg.

Yeah it looked like that to me too.

Couldn’t resist…

Murphy has a contract due to NSW bias.

Oh wait…

Doc we were all saying it was a problem then, too.

Doc, the overtime in 2020-2022 caused the 2023 injury. Come on.

Does name calling make you feel better about yourself?

'He'd been flogged to death': Rebels GM's scathing Tupou claim as Wallaby battles to reignite his fire

Man that is such an uneducated comment. He wasn’t “injury prone” until he was flogged for more minutes. And minutes played depends more on position than how much you earn, where did that come from?

Sheesh.

“Tupou has started this year overweight and not fit enough…”.

If that subjective assessment is true, why do you think that is?

'He'd been flogged to death': Rebels GM's scathing Tupou claim as Wallaby battles to reignite his fire

I think less than 50%, but not much less in a couple of seasons.

Ah yes, turning fat into muscle. One of those magical things that automatically happens with “hard work”. It’s that simple.

Wow 750 minutes is a lot of minutes to play 6 times in a season.

“I have to say though, after many years reading on here, I just get the feeling that you think you are the smartest person in the room, all of the time, whatever you room you are in.”

That is a very odd comment.

Taking caffeine is permitted, as long as the amount in your blood doesn’t exceed a certain level. That’s like saying drinking gatorade is performance enhancing because it hydrates you better.

Lol great reply

'He'd been flogged to death': Rebels GM's scathing Tupou claim as Wallaby battles to reignite his fire

I don’t get the tall poppy thing with him. He is a world class scrummager, tick. Good hands and strong ball runner.

His workrate could be higher? Maybe, but compare cleans per minute to other THPs and see how he compares, rather than making sweeping statements.

'He'd been flogged to death': Rebels GM's scathing Tupou claim as Wallaby battles to reignite his fire

How can he be wrong citing the minutes Tupou played? Do you have alternative stats?

'He'd been flogged to death': Rebels GM's scathing Tupou claim as Wallaby battles to reignite his fire

For sure. We all know it.

Ever heard of load management? It’s crucial in a variety of sports.

Yeah, it’s not like any country poaches Kiwi coaches.
