Back in my day, we didn't let blokes inside.
It's 2024, it's cool now and you get a victim / minority card which is like a social media and legal hall pass. A dick up the arse is a small price to pay for being beyond criticism. Plus, you get to have heaps of hot chicks climbing over each other to be your BFF. Cause having a gay friend is super cool for straight chicks.
oh , and you get to apply for awesome high paying public servant jobs that the toxic pussy only males can't go for too. Even if you're batshit crazy and the whole world can see it, the police will let you take your gun out and knock your ex lovers. You literally answer to nobody.
Agreed BUP; more changes than a Paris model mate. I feel the same - no confidence here and how in heck we keep a few beats me.
Looks like Russell's days on the wing are numbered, the bushie ( after 4 seasons), realised that he had very little athletic ability when he missed that try against the Dolphins
Don't get the Russell/ simmonson thing. Simmonson is a better option as a centre and Russell is untested at centre outside of one game (granted he was solid in attack but made a couple of defensive errors).
Blaize can't tackle so should never be fullback as he is the last line of defence and out wide we keep getting found out. Lane should be on the bench at best with Tuilagi on the edge. Lane should be move to bench as a middle and told if he doesn't do his job it will be back to reserve grade than moved on. Carty as 14 I like as he can cover center, halves, edge lock and give dummy half a break. Lussick is a reserve grade hooker at best and should be sent back to pommy land again and play Hands at hooker as he has more upside and is already playing better than Lussick.
Blaize is not ready for fullback at nrl level, he isn't really ready for fullback at reserve grade level as he has only played two games there. Russell would have been a better option or even asi.
Simmonson is a far better centre than winger, that left centre spot should be his every week.
Give tago a go on the wing, by all reports he had been going ok in reserve grade.
I agree lane needs to be dropped, at least back to the bench but unfortunately the club doesn't have any edge forwards to choose from.
Looks like BA is throwing petrol on the fire with some of these selections.
Yep I would have put Asi at fullback.
Backline looks rather inadequate.
Simmonson should have been selected as fullback. Tulagi is not ready for first grade. I cannot understand why BA has left himself so exposed.
