Graham is great. its Bani who plays like a blind bat. He drops everything given to him and somehow mess’ up the most easiest of plays. While Graham: is fast, can tackle and will very valuable for NQ.

NRL preview: contenders, pretenders and rear-enders
I agree with Beny Iniesta a no result is like a draw. You haven’t lost anything you just drawed the match it was even no one excelled on anybody.
Winning and unbeaten are the same words they still haven’t lost a match after 34 games an they ain’t gonna lose one soon bcoz if the Black Caps smashed surely we could smash them too. Can’t you remember 2009/10 series where Australia came up tops 5-0. Well it will happen again guarantee.

I think the Reds and the Tahs are also are chance in the comp.
For the Bulls, well they’ve lost one match and almost lost the first two and all the teams they’ve faced cam in the bottom 3 last year.
Super Rugby: Who are the real contenders after three rounds?
I’m pretty sure it was an upset win mate because they had only played one match before this which they lost.
SBW may have been bad for the first 15 mins but after that he played excellently. I din’t see him miss one tackle and was never out of position. And I did watch the game. Did you?
I’m pretty sure a 5 year old couldn’t score a try in super rugby. It was his size and pace that got him the try. Try is spelled try not tri thank you.
He was one one of the best on the field.
I admit Fruean played a really good match and may have been a tiny bit better than SBW but it doesn’t matter. And next time you complain, know your facts. Matt Todd is not McCaws replacement, his name is Matt Todd.
Sonny Bill stars as emotional Crusaders wipe out Tahs
That is a memorable title. On ya Ireland
Irish ripper! 5-left over (I mean, 4-leaf clover)
Well actually think Pakistan might of fixed with such a poor batting display
Afridi bowls Pakistan out of trouble
Neither of thos predictions will be right:
Roosters will make the finals
Qld will win the Origin Series
Canberra won’t make the 8 let alone the grand final
The Dally M won’t go to Cronk
And Moore won’t lose his job
That I’m sure about
