Watching this on delay but that's a loving disgrace to be penalty only. Penalty try or 10 in the bin take your pick.

Ayshford was alright before today, but Robson has been a disaster zone for a few weeks now. I want to see Tui get a crack at playing in the halves.

And I'm still loving how we won that. Go gently caress yourselves, cunts.

Johnson at 7 and Tui at 6 is so loving obvious. McFadden just seems stubborn about it for no reason now.

ANZAC test in only a month boys, should be the best one in a long time if SJ/Foran are fit, particularly since Australia won't be coached by a complete loving idiot this time. Meninga isn't keen on Teddy but I think he'll end up in the team at FB anyway, something like

1. Tedesco
2. Oates/Boyd
3. Inglis
4. Jennings/Dugan/Morris/Roberts
5. Mansour/Boyd
6. JT
7. Cronk
8. Woods

Yep

Dugan can run the ball and that's about it in attack, I don't understand why Daley/Sheens are obsessed with cramming him into the team out of position, he was loving terrible on the wing in the last test and there are better centres available. Dugan is pretty much a specialist fullback and Tedesco is simply better right now imo

Dugan sucks on the wing, but he's a useful centre.

Here's my guess on an Australian team, which is halfway between what I would pick and what I think Meninga will pick:
1. Inglis
2. Boyd
3. Morris
4. Chambers
5. Mansour
6. Thurston
7. Cronk
8. Woods
9. Smith
10. Gallen

Dugan is an elite tier 'Matai kneeler' with his sooking after every tackle. Also elite tier in the poo poo tattoo stakes.

Here's what the Kiwis might look like:

5. Vatuvei

7. Johnson

Oh I agree on form. But from my vantage teams are rarely picked on form. See Pearce, Mitchell.

There's the feeling that he might be one of those myths created by the Storm machine, but he does the job for the Kiwis so I'm cool with him. The same probably could have been said about Adam Blair before his rebirth in Brisbane, so :shrug:

I had him at centre originally, but SKD has been in great form. Nightingale might be the odd man out if we need to get Lolohea in there, but he has been awesome for the Kiwis for a long time and deserves a spot.

Williams should have been binned for that. The referees are loving spineless.

He doesn't even look good at the Storm though. Had a couple of good games for the Kiwis but mostly he's just there. I think Canberra got really lucky they whiffed on him in their flailing around in the transfer market phase.

It's more of a problem for the end of season tour, but we'll see a few for the Anzac test. Foran is a pretty obvious candidate, the Eels would be keen to protect him.

It wouldn't be a surprise or a bad move to give the spot to Thompson, before he got hurt he was close to being the best player on the Warriors.

Yeah no real reason to change much from the team that flogged us last year. I can just see Tui run rings around our tired old forwards with the new interchange rules and he's played pretty much everywhere
