Terrific news. Lenny is an absolutely brilliant player and I love watching him play.
Exclusive: Breakthrough in negotiations as key Wallabies duo set to remain in Australia
Aaron Smith is without a doubt one of the finest scrum halves to ever play the game. Lots of great players have never won world player of the year and to use that as a metric is strange considering rugby is a team sport.
Northern View: Whole world 'laughing their tits off' at bang average battlers, Dupont the greatest No.9 in generations
Fair enough. For what it’s worth I agree with you regarding forward play and moving to league. Sam Burgess when he moved to RU was playing in the back row for his club Bath and doing very well there but obviously national set up saw him more as a centre. Who knows why? But I can’t think of too many other fwds from RL that have made it in the pack. Peter Ryan from the Brumbies was pretty good but never player internationally
Rugby News: NRL gun leaves door ajar to join Wallabies ahead of RWC, Samu set for French move
By that argument you could say that Cam Murray has more of a background as he played it as young adult

Whilst I understand what you’re saying, he moved to Australia when he was 8 then played League. I would hardly say that he learned everything he knew from rugby as a kid. In my view he’s easily the best code switcher with daylight second but to say RL didn’t do anything for his skill set is not true.

Ummm Brad Thorn?? He was “modestly” successful 😛

I know the bulldogs are buying everyone, along with the Roosters. But Murray is the captain of the Rabbitohs, not the Doggies

Sorry Nic, just saw this after I made my Graham comment above!

I’d put Darcy Graham from the Scots up there too. He’s very exciting when given time and space.

The guys is a top class talent and someone that is worth paying money to go and watch play. Very worrying for the ashes! Let’s hope his inevitable form slump coincides then! Unlikely though

Poor bloke. Hope he gets all the help he needs and we see a full recovery.

Yes, quad injury

Both their backrows are unbelievable!

Damn it! You beat me to it! Ha! Apologies for using it further up the thread
CONFIRMED: Tupou signs multi-million dollar deal to stay with Rugby Australia - but he's leaving the Reds for rivals
John Afoa was up there for a while too TWAS. Obviously Bentnuc has never heard the rugby adage “the most important player on your team is the TH prop, the second most important is the reserve TH prop”

Underrated pub that one. This wambie boy and a few mates used to venture up there on occasion. Shame it’s lost its “soul”

I hope so! But it’s more important he gets back to full health first.

Is that confirmed Piru? Devastated if true, I’ve loved watching him play so far.

I’m a big WP fan Miz and a couple of years ago he was my top of the props. But I think he’s definitely slipped in the pecking order now.

25 in 25: Best centre of NRL era - Inglis, Gasnier, Hodges, Cooper, Manu, Morris, Lyon?
I heard that if you run off Renouf often enough you’ll score. Can anyone confirm that?

Absolutely and don’t underestimate having a strong role model growing up. Just sad for everyone

Of course! How could we forget such wonderful custodians of gentlemanly conduct like Todd Carney and Nate Myles, the corridor porter at a hotel I believe? And then of course good old Pearce and his dog walking enterprise and his pub crawl with business with Jake Friend. And I heard that Matt Lodge had set up a walking tours business in NYC? 😱
