On Patty T - for what it is worth he was brilliant against Southland last Friday. His form also got better and better for the Blues as the season went on (a bit like Moala) so not sure what the go is.
I've heard that Hansen mistakenly thinks he plays for the Hurricanes, hence why he's not selected....

Ex front rowers who become commentators that get over excited over fat unco blokes running slowly with the ball
Speaking of front rowers, one little annoyance is a packed stadium yelling out BEAST, every time said beast gets the ball and makes less yards carrying it than Owen Franks....

How to pronounce Jaguares properly
It’s pronounced ruh-nurs ah-p

:
Shitty unconvincing win we need to be a lot better then that to win the WC
No we don’t. All we need to do is win the game. Who really cares how.
There is a randomness that Garces brings and I’m pleased we dealt with it relatively well. No cards is a big tick for me.
@BartMan said in RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1):
I think the only real beating up of the ABs the last few years is Paddies in Chicago and Convicts in Perth. The rest of the losses are just the ABs running out of time to win
The arrogance of new posters never ceases to amaze.

@ACT-Crusader having 5 kids goes a long way to explaining his repetitive ongoing team selection Dad joke. The dude must be a fucking master at driving his kids insane with the same jokes over and over.
I might not get 5 laughs every time I tell my dad jokes at home but at least I get 5 upvotes for my AB selections.
Shout out to @Chris-B @Canerbry @shark @Chris @Stargazer
@winger said in BLEDISLOE 3:
Maybe the selectors need to have a good look at Garden Bachop.
It’s officially comedy hour....
Some say being beaten by 25 points at home is a humiliation.
I’m one of those.

For all the breathless carry on there are 18 serious cases

And we accepted the lockdown so it could provide healthcare the time to ramp up resources and prevent it being overwhelmed.
we all know that narrative changed some time in May.
Given a massive number of the new identified cases are apparently asymptomatic, would a similar ramp up in testing elsewhere in Australia give similar results?
It’s the thing that I reckon some State Premiers are fearing, watching the Victoria situation.
On one hand they have “contained”, but the level of testing in Victoria is extremely high. Almost 30,000 tests in one day, next day peak of 280+ cases.

BridgeHowlett's problem is that his key selling points are being "solid" and capable of running reasonably fast in a straight line. Now, I'm not saying that these aren't valuable attributes, but they just don't cut it at test level. There generally has to be something more on offer.Bridge is nowhere near Howlett in terms of either ability or pace. Howlett also had the ability to play fullback, so thanks for proving my point.
Bridge has played fullback so that’s covered.
Not sure if mentioned but Richard Kahui has signed with the Force.
Fortunately Twiggy has deep pockets to pay for the Foodbill
@Siam where have all the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmy’s and American Music Award speeches been?

Has Laumape passed the ball once today?
You can take the man from league but you can’t take the league...
@ACT-Crusader said in NRL 2020:
Storm’s armchair ride from the on field ref and TMO continues.
The Crusaders of league.
Nah, Storm haven’t won enough premierships.
Worst thing is that it was Addo-Carr that made initial contact. And the fact it was a YC just compounded the bad call. Two tackles later and Storm score.
