Ashes / Pacific Champs 2025

Surely there are better forwards then Collins?

Max King the only other true prop that played SOO and isn't in another International team
Besides Barnett (injured)

With playing PM13s or in a team that impacted finals as a consideration we get
Lindsay Smith (in kangaroos squad)
Liam Henry (PM13)
Corey Horsbrugh (PM13)
Josh Curran (PM13)
Jack Williams (PM13)
Harrison Edwards (PM13)
Corey Jensen
Toby Rudolf

Collins has a history of strong performances in big games over all of them. Although def a few you could have swapped in for the likes of him or Cotter and not lost much.

No real surprises.

Why does Isaah look like his wife's just caught him down the pub?

I want Penrith to use this as those face masks people hold in front of their faces they use when a player has a milestone game.

 

[Born&bred]

There is but they've pledged their allegiance to different countries

As they should

 

[HaroldBishop]

As they should

Yep makes for far more interesting games

For Halloween!

That cut out from Paulo was RIDICULOUS

Few shots from Wembley yesterday.

 

[Mr Ryan]

It was the same old story with England on Saturday night.

When Australia has the ball it looks England only has 11 defenders and that a line break could happen at any time.

When England has the ball it looks like Australia has 15 defenders and there’s literally no way through.

Val has gone into camp with the cook Islands boys.

I wonder if Brailey will get a run in the 3rd test when/if Australia beat England again?

I think he will, along with the rest of the fringe guys like Ethan Strange.

 

[Ryan McGoldrick #1 Fan]

Who was our last Aussie rep other than Gallen? Fifita or Val maybe?

Actually it was Nicho and the big brain plan to play him at Lock

 

[CrazyMatt]

Well England made them work for it again, but ultimately the Roos were never in danger of losing that one.

Do you think having the captain playing in his position will be a roadblock

Dunno, first Ashes tour in a long time.

Blayke in for Grant
Strange in for Dearden
Best in for Shibasaki
Preston in for Cotter

Edwards, JAC miss out unless there is a relevant injury - they’ve both played before. Just too many changes to also drop out Walsh and a winger

He’s the stand in captain to be fair. Isn’t Yeo back for the next test?
