2022 NRL General discussion

[bort]

Got to be close to dropping Dufty after that last night thou!
Wouldnt blame him for that unforced change.

They have JAC or Allen but a switched on Dufty I think is part of their best 13. Wouldn't cut him just for that.
But yeah he was atrocious, Lomax rattling around in his head

 

[Sparkles]

I thought Madge first to go and Barrett safe this season also
But if Barrett keeps chopping and changing side like he has been he could get himself booted. I assume he will settle down a bit now with the unforced changes...

Sounds like Gus will be the only once forcing any changes

Yes Gumby, huh?

Now now boys.
Just cos he is Caucasian doesn’t mean he doesn’t have NZ heritage.
Very stereotypical of you both……..

Gumby… WTF???

 

[bort]

Looks like he's just randomly assigned his best guess to people. Is Talakai Samoan? Are you just picturing him in their colours but it's actually a Newtown jersey?

Royce he at least put a question mark showing he doesn't know

Bit hard when all the players these days switch their allegiance. A lot of the poly boys could actually represent any of the 3 island natioons. Anyways its a discussion thread so pipe down.

there was a discussion last year when williams was in great from that mcguire had make an inquest to see if he was interested in playing for the kiwis. So with that being said its likely he has some sort of NZ heritage.

NZRL Media Release - Taurahere offer hope to offshore Kiwis

There's a bigger game being played out at this week's 'Got A Trade?' NZRL National Youth Tournament in Rotorua.

Selected in a team of Aus based Kiwis to play NZ based U18s side.

And also listed in this Kiwis article

I can only find Sifa linking himself to Tonga though, not Samoa

To answer your Royce question it looks like Aus, Kiwi or Somoa are all options so you'd assume he'd be a shot for Samoa depending on who else with mixed Islander heritages chose where. NZ you'd think would have to lose a few to Tonga/Samoa for him to come in.
Quick google didn't give me any answers if he may have played any junior reps.

So you are on to something. Sorry for continuing to discuss in the discussion thread like some kind of heathen.

some massive changes coming this week for the tigpies!

i seriously don't see how they're going to crawl out of the hole they are in. but interesting to see who madge picks for this weeks game.

 

[MrDravid]

Madge needs to pick some kids... but he won't do that cos when they get flogged there'll be more pressure on him.

Madge needs to pick players loyal to him and are prepared to put in a decent (110%) effort cos at the moment some of them are white anting him pretty badly

 

[Gumby]

interested to no where all there money is being spent in their cap.

apart from Brooks who is on a mil - no other player there i don't think would be on big coin?

their squad would honestly get beat by newtown.

 

[Capital_Shark]

Is a bloke seriously getting referred straight to judiciary for calling for another to "get up ya ******"?

Kyle Feldt very lucky not to miss a few weeks with a grade 2 hurt feeling from that. Some on Twitter obviously weren't so lucky to escape the moment unharmed.

some want him gone for 10 weeks

My god.

Like I don't condone homophobia but that was not a hateful pointed attack on a gay person or gay people. Tell him to substitute "******" for "soft ****" next time & move on surely.

Agree. I would say a fine, apology and move on.

Different if it was your example above.

 

[Mr Ryan]

So you’re allowed to say C**t, but not allowed to say F****t?
