Well he played League in NZ as well.
Manu excited to take SBW path in pursuit of All Blacks goal but admits 'I've got to learn the game' first
You are only talking about the All Blacks yes ? cause making the Wallabies is pretty easy for most moderately talented league players. It seems a simple game for them.

Absolutely, but you can only judge a situation based on currently available information.
If Hughes and Munster do ACLs of course the odds will change drastically but if that happens to Walsh and Cleary instead then the Storms odds will shorten incredibly. In December 23 the Storm were certain top 4 members with the info available at that time.
Storm slaughter second-rate Souths as 'a myriad of errors' hammer the final nail into Demetriou's coaching coffin
The most popular sport amongst a lot of the young fellas I talk to here is MMA . Now it’s too extreme for this RL diehard but it doesn’t fit your narrative at all. You think all young men want roses and lilacs?
As for the toxic culture bs. As soon as I see that I also see your stripes. Hate is not a good thing.
Topine vs Bulldogs an important case for NRL and players - wrestling punishment shouldn't be tolerated in a 'workplace'
That’s a positive outlook. I’m with you. Things can change quickly. But like you i think 24 is history.

Before a ball was kicked in anger , I said $ 10.50 was a ridiculous price for the Storm winning the GF .
I had them $ 6.00. ( i now have them $ 5.00 ) . I base that on
1 they were certainties to make the 4 . Their spine and past performances tell you that.
2 only top 4 sides win the GF
3 ‘ fair odds ‘ for a Top4 side taking out the big one is $ 4.00 but I think 2 teams are better than a fair chance and both will be top 4.
4 So I still have the Broncs and Panthers in front of them . This is based purely on what I call peak possible performance. See the 23 GF for what a peak performance looks like.
5 If ( when ) all three make the top 4 , other factors come into play. Injuries, how many players are playing banged up. How tough were their last couple of games. Does the Ref suit. Wet or dry etc , etc.
6 Bottom line is they have been one of only three possible winners ( with tiny hopes for Sharks and Manly) since the draw came out. I laugh with you at the write off merchants.

Yeah but he won’t.
MVP Dylan Edwards is the man Penrith's system might not be able to cover
If Edwards does play Origin he will become a better FB. That’s scary.

Warriors play the sorts of game where the opponents need to lose it. It’s a fine tactic but your Defence has to be up-to it. The Warriors tackled poorly today and Titans had the attack to make them pay.
Well done Desi , first of many,

Your forward pack is the bomb. Great choice of Grant on the bench. He will kill them at the 30th min h1. . Collins , Fleg Arrow all workaholics and Fifita to be the X Factor.
Now backs . ? Hammer has to be there. He covers FB, centre, wing . Now wethr you go Cobbo, Holmes , Hammer or Tualagi , Holmes Hammer and who plays wing or centre doesn’t matter but Hammer starts.
Then bench, not sure about Capewell. I went Hopgood. And Welsh ??? I have Mo in front . Still the fact we still have options is great
Maroons' Origin predicted team: Slater forced to make changes after injuries sideline some certain selections
I’m all for the pick and stick policy but sometimes someone is just so out of form you have to say not this year.
Nanai is just not defending well enough to justify selection. He is still one of the smoothest movers in the comp and has beautiful hands but he is defensively weak.
Every game I see him fail to close a space , fail move back if the attack changes direction, miss one on one tackles. He has lost touch with tackling.
Now the Cows defence is not all on him but I look at others like Tommy D, who does all those things and more. Miah is still very young and can fix every issue he has but he can’t play Origin this year.

Its worse if you look at top 4 finishes in the NRL era. 4 Teams take up fifty percent of the possible spots . The other 50 percent is divided among the other 12.
Paradox of parity: NRL craves a level playing field but fans love to hate a dynasty like Penrith’s undisputed reign
But Penrith haven’t had a ‘clear and undisrupted’ run for 4 years. That’s given them 3 premierships and one GF loss.
Origin makes players better. It’s why Bennett, Bellemey and Robbo all spruik there players to get in the team. Nicholas just needs to get , more than 5 mins on the field.

Gee I wish Jett was a prop !

I have a hypotheseis . Nicholas Hynes is a great club footy player but won’t make it a at Origin level. One flop and it will become a theory.
Two flops and it’s jimmmys law.

The one thing I really like in his comment is that he is not too concerned about results in 24. Too many times coaches keep dolling out the same team and the same plans in the hope of jagging a spot in the 8, when really a better plan is to get some games into young up and comers, weed out the chaff and recruit wisely. Try to build to something.
The Dragons are a long way off top 4 but Flanigan is playing the long game. I hope the club let’s him have a decent crack.
Sufferball: How the Dragons are turning pain into pleasure under Shane Flanagan
Let’s make this game happen. Would be a cracker. The Goodies have the much better pack but I think the Baddies are way more creative in that back line and would score plenty if their pack can square up a bit.
I guess though Young and Kaufusi will get binned and Moses will dislocate a shoulder from arm waving so it may be easy for the Goodies after all.

I actually think you do. Manly can go with anyone on their day but their day is not often enough. The Sharkies maybe the dark horse though I have them marked for 2025.
It’s another year for one ofthe big 4. ( Well except the Roosters)
Five and a kick: Benji's Tigers lost to Penrith, but did they actually win in the long run?
I will tell you something about the young Canberra FB. If Ricky offered me a swap tomorrow with Drinkwater at the Cows , I would shake his hand in one second flat before he changed his mind.
I saw more steel from that kid in one game than from Drinkwater in 2 years,.
He made mistakes , he got up and went again. He got smashed three or 4 times . He got up took a deep breath, and went again.
You can practice catching and kicking and tackling and passing but you can’t practice that. He’s a good kid.

Be careful of what you wish for Noel. I am a vengeful God not a forgiving one.
'How does it not get sin-binned?' Benji fumes at ref's soft call as Cleary insists Edwards not hurt
It doesn’t change the result . Penrith win, But Schneider goes to the bin every other time that’s ever happened.
The tackle ??? On the air was absolutely a penalty . Most times just a penalty , very occasionally a sin bin but usually much more contact is required .
That’s the difference , one is automatic in the bin , the other usually not.
Penrith win anyway so it’s not about the result.
'How does it not get sin-binned?' Benji fumes at ref's soft call as Cleary insists Edwards not hurt
The bus is getting pretty dinged up from all the work its doing . I suggest the bunker is chucked under it and that will be the last of the damage.

Hi Phil, just read the conversation. I’m replying to Jackos comment . As for Joey Manu ? , just like SBW he will be back.
