Took time out from work to watch the 49ers go 4-0 at my local pub.

Our running game is pretty much up there with the best as the Breida/Coleman combo provides them with speed and strength in both the running and passing game.

Browns QB Baker Mayfield must have rooted 49ers DE Nick Bosa's mother or something because Nick was hunting him all game. Mayfield finished with 100 yards passing, two INTs and a few fumbles thanks to the 49ers defence.

Only Patriots and 49ers are undefeated. Superbowl right there.

That would be a great Superbowl matchup. The stories leading up to it would be great too, with the QBs and the coaches.

But don't get excited just yet.
9ers opponents have a record of 5 and 15.
Patriots opponents have a record of 5 and 18.

9ers still have 4 games against the Rams and Seahawks. They also gotta play the Packers and the Saints (imo, NFC favourites who should have Brees back). All should be cracking games.
9ers are unlucky they are in a loaded division/conference. Good luck picking the playoff teams from the NFC.

@mimic I don't know about sevens. He looks too big for sevens and not fast enough. But definitely one you want to keep in rugby!

I heard from some in camp that he has the fastest 40, faster than the backs.

@Stargazer said in 2019 NZ Schools:

FT: NZ Schools Barbarians 52 - 22 Fiji Schools

To me, the best forward was no. 8 Sosaia Moala and the best back Latrell Smiler-Ah Kiong.

The 10-12 combo between Smiler-Ah Kiong and Cook-Savage worked well. The latter kicked well.

Saia is an absolute beast. I'm really surprised that he didn't make the NZ schools team.
He is quick (could easily play winger) and it's surprising that he was a prop.
If the Blues don't look after him, he could be off to league. I hear the Roosters (as well as other teams) are after him.
If NZRU are smart, they'll fast track him in the NZ Sevens team like they do with all the other promising talents.

@Stargazer said in 2019 NZ Schools:

@Chester-Draws Apart from 5 to 6 players, all players from this year's Hastings Boys 1st XV will return next year. So the majority will be eligible. Several players are year 11.

Also, if they are eligible to play the Top 4 finals, doesn't that also mean they are eligible for NZ Schools?

IIRC, I think they picked the main team that was mainly Year 13s, and the Baabaas were mainly Year 12s.
So if they are Year 11, I'm assuming that's why they weren't picked.
That was in the past, so not sure if it's still the same.

Does anyone have a breakdown of the Year Levels of the players?

@KiwiMurph said in NFL 2019:

Now Antonio Brown has signed with the Patriots. A 1 year deal worth up to $15 million.

Randy Moss went from the Raiders to the Patriots over a decade ago - that worked out pretty well.

Guess the bad news for the Pats is that they never won a a Superbowl with Moss
But this sure is wild.. I have more confidence in the Pats over the Chiefs

Matt Rogers wasn't too bad for a convert

jeepers, how was that forward pass not called

I just hope the floodgates don't open, and Samoa can keep the aussies under 90..

Good time to roast the Tongan lads..

ffffffffffffffffffffffivvvvvvvvvvvveeeeee

Congrats to BJ Watling.
Saw a stat that said he has the most runs as wk for nz.. also the most tons as wk..
