Although i love Tupou’s barnstorming runs I can’t help but feel someone else is having to work double time in the close contact stuff to allow him that freedom. Works at SR level & probably certain International sides – but against the big 3 you just don’t have that luxury.
Alaaltoa’s game invovement isn’t as spectacular but he’s hands-on all of the time, making time & space for someone else. The upside for TT is his solid scrummaging – he’d seem the perfect player to bring on at the back end & wouldn’t be a liability in the scrum.

Any which way you can: Australia’s intriguing choice at tighthead prop

Seems a bit ridiculous to let Green walk out the door now dosen’t it. Along with Todd’s refusal to meet them at the altar the Warriors are starting to look like the ugly girl no one wants to talk to. Cameron George needs to pull the biggest rabbit of them all from his magicians hat – Wayne Bennet

Warriors find winning recipe

Agreed Harry, Maguire comes off looking like a prize prick i’m afraid. The actions that inspired a team – apparently not.

Maguire fuming as Wests Tigers stunned

you seriously saying you wouldn’t “strengthen” your team where it’s needed because the players come from NZ? You’d be willing to deny the team a chance to be competitive?

The Wrap: Rugby Australia must resist being drawn into New Zealand’s spider web

Agree with all your points AB, even more so after watching the Blues v Saders game. But as a kiwi in Oz I’d love to see a Trans-Tasman comp 5-teams each. No Japan, no Sth Africa, purely for logistics/costs reason.
Then for the NZRU to loosen the eligibility rules allowing NZ players to ply their trade here without knocking their All Black aspirations…Jeez while I’m at it I wanna see peace & love to all mankind & the end to covid-19

Penney warns NZ Rugby off going alone

Totally irrelevant i know, but i’m reminded of it when i see the pressure David Fifita’s under in deciding between $ 700k & $ 1.25m – Keith Miller (Cricket Legend & WWII Pilot) answers Michael Parkinson when questioned about the pressures of playing Test Cricket: ‘Pressure,’ he said. ‘I’ll tell you what pressure is. Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse. Playing cricket is not’.”

Pressure is mounting on Fifita after history-making offer from the Titans

The last of a generation fellas..whilst some will be glad to see the back of him, i love him. He don’t expect his players to kiss arse & he leads by example. You want a sissy, apologetic smiling coach at interview time you came to the wrong place.

Wayne Bennett doesn't have a leg to stand on when firing up about his future

Tell ya what if he aint selected 😡 …there’s gotta be an investigation into this!!!…someone’s gotta be accountable for this!!! 😛

Warriors playing greats handed key roles

In that case, yeah Vaea Fifta’s the 7th forward. I’d still have McKenzie at stand-off – he wont die wondering. Weber over Mo’unga for me – pace & stamina required against the Roos’ for mind. TJs the conductor for me.

A cross-code All Blacks vs Kangaroos match could happen this year

Right, here’s my AB league team. Props, hooker & lock were the tough ones. I’d still pick The Roos to wipe the field when playing league, think Mayweather v McGregor as the reality check.
1 B. Barrett 2 R. Ioane 3 J. Goodhue 4 A. Liernet-Brown 5 S. Reece
6 D. McKenzie 7 B. Weber 8 P. Tuipolotu 9 TJ. Perenara 10 S. Frizell
11 A. Savea 12 S.Cane 13 D. Coles
