I haven't watched much NRL for a couple a years. How do the Kiwis stack up?
Couple of top level talents. A smattering of mid-level talents.
Some that wouldn't get a gig at a top 4 club.
who do you call the top level talents? because I would say there are more than a couple (two)
Manu and Fisher-Harris
Probably the only two player we have who would play Origin
hughes and solomona?
nope and nope
i've seen far too many players be good at Melbourne and dogshit as soon as they leave that system.
so what if they are good at Melbourne they cant be good any where else?
yeah pretty much

When did Sorensen decide to be a Kiwi? IIRC his uncle Kurt told one of his own sons that he wasn't a Kiwi because he didn't grow up in NZ.
@mariner4life What's this Neame guy like? Also what position does he play?

Neame is a lock. Bit of a weapon. Plenty of size about him. Is a bench player for a full strength Cowboys side.

Maybe a couple of seasons ago. He’s been very up and down. Agree on Tapine.

Just a kid and has a big future ahead of him according to a few pundits. Plays halfback so can’t really crack the Panthers team. Playing for the Dolphins right now.

I just googled him - was surprised to see a pic of a white dude.

@mariner4life said in NRL 2022:
@Nepia ginger too
Yuck, the picture I saw didn't highlight that, but now a look at google images shows he's almost full blown.
Anyway, always good to have a token white guy in the team. I assume he's the captain too.

I know I've just never watched him
from what I’ve seen in the NSW Cup, he has a good left foot step and has a bit of size for a halfback, so doesn’t mind running it or playing dummy half.

Fuck it's good being a Cowboys supporter
Suck shit Manly

It was a good Friday night of footy all round really. Brisbane had a real crack at Melbourne despite some significant outs and an on-field official team who seemed determined to fuck them.
