Been in & around for many years, I've played, coached, managed, & even attempted part time reffing, of which I admittedly wasn't that good at. Also been involved, with the Sydney Subbies for quite a few years, on a voluntary basis, back in the 80's & early 90's. So I can honestly say, I've put just as much into the game, as I had taken out, of it.

Possibly Yank now, as they have many sell out properties & companies in Australia. We only have to look at mining where both the Yanks & Poms own over 85% of all mining operations within Australia! Google it

I think you don’t realise that the particular company was set up in the SH in Otepoti, before selling out to Australia! Try again!

As was Benders brilliance at the back, that was far more noticeable with BB ending up scoring
Hansen's done Joey Manu no favours comparing him to SBW. He'll be more like RTS - and Foz is the reason why
Not really Jacko! The team did! lol

Ma’a & Conrad were up there with the best midfield combinations we’ve had, & in truth SBW was only part of that. Then again I agree he was a bench player under Ted, as we saw him coming off the bench in the final.

That’s right as he came from League originally playing with the Bulldogs, before trying his hand at Rugby!

It might be English but it was sold to an Australian concern, coming from Aotearoa!

TBH Gary SBW did actually hold the NZ Heavyweight boxing title for a few years till, one David Tua decided to come out of retirement to challenge, which never happened. So SBW virtually caste the title aside, as the next person up, was a young fella named Joseph Parker. Something like how quick he got out of Christchurch after the earthquake! lol

From memory wasn’t Cadbury a Aotearoa company starting off in Otepoti? Yeh I realise that it was sold off, but it did originate from there!

😂 😂 😂 Why would any Kiwi care about the failures of Eddie, when we also had a failure in Foz, Cec???? 😢 😢

But he was never going to be a Rugby forward, as he lacked the overall skill sets, which differed from where he originated from, in League. It was his off loading skill set that made him worthwhile within the backs, that did what was required back then.

Or have a Rugby playing background!!

TBH Hoy, Brad Thorn came from a Rugby background. He played age group before his family emigrated to Australia, back then. His father played for the Taieri club in Mosgiel, whilst Brad did his thing playing amongst the kids. So in truth, one of the main reasons he adapted, a lot quicker was him playing the game before. As it is, he proved that not many League forwards, unless they had the Rugby background, succeed in becoming successful playing Rugby as a forward. Even then it was Thorns father that wanted him to play for the AB’s, if he could.

Yep AA it’ll be an interesting squad we’ll see from Razor this year, as most know he does pick on current form unlike his predecessor. There are some very talented backs as well coming through in the likes of Proctor, Tupaea etc etc. Even amongst the younger brigade there are some.

TBH mzili I’ve never heard of him! But I do know there is a pretty big development squad in Otepoti!
The Wrap: Why SANZAAR must hold Frank Lomani accountable for 'going back for his hat'
Very different here in OZ , Jacko!

Agree with you on the Canes OB as we see Jamie McIntosh having their forwards firing. Turning out to be a good forward coach, this far into coaching!

Yep a great win by the Blue’s RT, seeing the way the likes of how good Papali’i is playing along with Tuipolotu & their new young Funaki, who IMO is far better than Christie. Clarke is definitely up there with Talea & Reece as far as AB wing selections go, but Sotutu, he did play well, but he’s got a habit, of giving away penalties at the wrong time. Then again we do have some very good last men down coming through, even Jacobson is up there.
Yeh not a good weekend for my lot, as I’m wondering what Jamie Joseph is doing, as far as advising Dermody? But as with many franchises we all have that nasty injury problems.

Don’t forget Taylor & Williams BF.

Yeh Pari Pari didn’t look great the time he was there, Geoff, but as you say, there are still a few, as in other franchises, that are returning from injury, hence the mention of running around in club rugby. Why they didn’t start with Fakatava has got me beat!!!

Try talking with him ATW, I’m sure he’d give you a ear full!!

Yep Jacko, & now we have that idiot Sydney radio shock jock belittling SBW due to his religious beliefs in which SBW is right!
