@taniwharugby I reckon it's as much about Parsons being ready to shoulder some load in hitting it up. For all his meh effectiveness at times he gets stuck in. But if there are other guys loaded to take those hit ups then that is a gameplan issue.
Hmmm plus any forward with low numbers for those core tasks isnt going to look good in the weekly review. Esp if you are in the leadership group.
@Rembrandt I think the distinction is in supporting those folks to integrate into society via govt and community support networks etc. I've never seen people saying come and stay in my house, but people being open to refugees becoming part of their nation and community.
But I totally get the hipocracy of someone living in a gated community in a multimillion dollar home welcoming refugees, when never the Twain shall meet.
@No-Quarter big difference too in how your living arrangements are set up. If you had a separate flat on your property you might be sweet as, rather than having someone in the house with you and your family. Shit, heaps of people dont want their own family living with them for all sorts of reasons. Not hard to see the bar for refugees being waaay higher.
It feels a bit more blatant than when he got pictured with those guys with the Pepe picture. He must have people coming through at a rate of knots for pictures and meet and greets. But it does seem a bit surprising that this wasn't noticed, not sure if he has anyone helping out - or if he practices any kind of censorship of iffy visual messaging. If it was noted ahead of the photo being taken I don't know to make of it.
@Frank there can only be one hungus!! unless we talk league and add Kata to the mix lol
@KiwiMurph wow, that is really good. Would be really interesting to see if most of those are v Oz teams, or if he's been good all-round.
At the risk of switching codes Manu Vatuvei had a gnarly record before his form faltered in later years. I think he had 10 successive years of scoring 10 or more tries? only guy to have achieved that? and for quite a few season he was in the high teens. Just did a quick calculation off his wiki info and his rate is .67 (226 games and 152 tries). That is bloody good in such a tough comp.
@Canes4life that's a mental stat aye! Esp for an inside back. Loooove it!
@Baron-Silas-Greenback did you get confused by the no?
@rotated's opener was the start of that line of banter. I got that you thought that one was amusing. So how about you take on board your own advice re assumptions?
@canefan 
I can still remember him being asked last year about his kicking by an interviewer... he got very salty about the person not seeing his development in that space... and in that very game!!
I actually think he has fewer downsides to his game if you were comparing him to early days Nonu. But Nonu was also being played at 13 and that is a merciless position when you are learning your trade. Maybe because he's shorter but Laumape doesn't have the same riskiness around his D, whereas young Ma'a rode the line... a lot!
Multiple tongue in cheek comments re JP's work, although @rotated's was the best, and first.
You were the one coming in hot and throwing your own shade. So how about you get over yourself?
