Is he available for Australia?

Nicho and Ramien both would have been good but may be best to finish rehabing injuries
Good point re Iro. I think he could qualify for Australia (5 years residency), but he would probably pick NZ as his Tier 1 nation if he was to pick one.

So yeah I assume that rules him out of PM's 13.

Iro can play for Australia, England, Cook Islands & NZ.

Never in my time would i have ever thought i would read the words 'Versace sunglasses & nail polish' in a rugby league article.

FMD what a world we now live in where a rugby player decides to paint his ****ing nails :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

You don't read many articles about the Dargons then do you?

The Ridge!

Great write up on Hughes. What a year he's had. I think he and Nicho have such similar strengths, but Hughes has just taken his game to a new level this year. If Nicho can even channel 80% of that I think we can make a GF next year.

Hughes has amazing strength for a halfback. How many times do you see him spin out of tackles, bust them and defend like a Trojan. I don’t think Nicho could play like that even if he spent the next six months full time in the gym!

Yeah some players just have that powerful hip strength. Munster has it too. Same as Edwards. Makes them so hard to tackle.

I think Ison has some pretty good strength for the amount of tackles compared to how big he is.

Vlandy’s refusing to rule out Melbourne getting GF next year and that he is considering it being held in a different city every year

Typical PVL grandstanding to get more money.

Personally I'd be really pissed if the GF is ever moved away but especially to a non rugby league city. **** that for a joke. By all means use a SOO game each year to promote the game but leave the GF alone.

Even being on the other side of the continent/island…..😉
I agree. GF to remain in Sydney (but PVL is also trying to butter up Brisbane and Melbourne as well as squeeze some coin from NSW government (IMHO)).
