Foster said that they were please with the way NMS played for Manawatu

Well then, clearly ready for Test rugby after his display in the Super season.

Yeah my presumption is SBW is fit. If fit, they'll start him.

substitute will for should then.

So we're agreed this will be the backline:

9. A Smith
10. Beaudy
11. Naholo
12. SBW.
13. Goodhue.
14. B Smith
15. Jordie.

Bench will be TJP, DMac, ALB.

Richmond becoming more than a laughing stock...

That was a long term plan. We're now focusing on long term dominance.

Jesus , how did it get to this point? What a shambles

Turnbull's insistence on running a Statesman like campaign. So he didn't attack Labor on their policies and it became a knife edge result. Which left him no room to tell recalcitrants to behave themselves. He's been limping along ever since.

What opportunities did come his way, Abbott has managed to ruin. Every. Single. Time.

Revenge. He fucked up Abbott's shit. Karma.

Abbott fucked himself. Knighthoods ffs.

Sure but Lord Wentworth white-anted him the entire time. Grahame Richardson was saying how Turnbull begged him to get on the Labor senate ticket back in the day. The guy doesn't give a shit about his party or the country, just himself.

True of a number of politicians. Abbott could easily be a right wing Labor politician. Pyne selected a party based on the ease with which he could become a parliamentarian. Do you think Shorten cares about the working man?

Most of them use the preferences and ignorance of the common voter to advance their own ambitions.

Someone catch me up. What is wrong with Dutton? I know very little of him outside of his interest in assisting the South African farmers pre-potential genocide/starvation

He's an ex-Queensland copper who has overseen a massive consolidation of power into one portfolio, kind of like a budget version of Homeland Security with ever increasing powers. E,g, the government now wants to be able to imprison you for up to a decade if you don't unlock your phone.

@no-quarter Agreed but with Hooper captain and being paid so many $ they are forced into starting him.

Yeah, it's a pretty ridiculous situation they've got themselves into there.

Holy hell Folau on $2.2m? Like fuck he's worth even half of that.

How can they justify paying him that much? That's more than 1 million more than his captain! No wonder he's in no hurry to return to League.

Easy - no one else gets the sort of media attention every time they're on Instagram. That's worth a motzah for the ARU!
