I would have loved to see Pierson get a go.

Given the Kiwis just smacked the Kangaroos 30 zip, maybe not.

Besides with Dom Young and Tupou, he’s not even a lock for first grade at the Roosters, although Tupou is getting to veteran status

In the relative rates wouldn’t that cost RA a million or so ?

This is an obvious pay back from the Roosters.

I don’t know the guy, but as long as he has a big body for kick returns (at least 90kg) decent height and a leap for the cross kick, good defensive decision making and has the acceleration, leap and skill to place the ball one handed in the corner with the majority of his body over the sideline in mid air, then he will be fine

It’s not really that simple. There are still decisions on when to come in and blindside the centre or fullback to stop a sweep move or stay out. They are force to defend the cross kick regularly. There other required skill is to make a lot of return ball metres against an organized chasing team spread across the entire field

I’m no, he never even made the state side in rugby league

No, very specific to what each comp could learn from each other’s experiences

I once wrote a whole article on here of what I thought was obviously comedy, only to mortally offend a group of commenters

Do Australians love Test cricket or just watching the baggy green side win at home pretty much all the time?

That’s exactly the journey I went on and also my now 21 year old son

They lengthened it as part of their last TV deal, risking killing the goose. Last season was the best in a while though

The tournament being so long also hampers the teams from attracting top shelf international talent

QLD has always produced quality keepers, Eg Hartley, Seccombe, Healy, Anderson, now Pierson. They rarely get recognized nationally as there is only ever three keeping spots available (test, ODI, T20I) and their batting seems to always be ‘gritty’ rather than worthy of a top 6 spot

In interesting distinction. It might mean the Super League, even subconsciously, may be more conservative in its decision making as a result. Without super league, There would still be rugby league in its northern strongholds, but it would possibly become a semi-pro niche sport only

Just the England Super League rugby league competition and the A-League Mens. Not codes as a whole

Great analysis Midfielder. Maybe the best spend Football Australia could invest would be to hire someone from MLS as a consultant

The catching was the best part of the day. Bancroft took a beauty at slip, but for me Pierson’s catch down the leg side while standing up to the medium pacer was sublime. Brilliant footwork made a terribly difficult catch look easy

No offence, I was trying to be funny too. Maybe we should leave that sort of thing to the professionals 😂 😂

It’s almost like this game hasn’t been put on for the sole benefit of Cameron Green. Oh the humanity! 😂

The Kiwis reduce home series to 2 tests because they aren’t rich and make more from the white ball games. Over here we are beholden to the ICC future tours schedule.
