"Im hoping kelma out, williams to back row, and brown to start with big sam. Kelma not here next year, maybe he plays nsw cup more and more? Maybe penisni too? Maybe russell drops out and penisini stays in first, unless we get herbie, who i hope eels…"
"I think kitty or kelma. Can't afford to have both defensively. They will probably lean towards kelma. Kitty take about a month to get match fit. I hope he has a blinder."

Anyway who is left out there Sam Hughes??"

"Not sure Kelma drops out. But it makes sense too. I think Mataele makes more sense even though I feel it is a tiny bit harsh since he has been not too bad. But also I feel Ryles prefers Williams on an edge as well."
"It has to be. Sucks for Mataele but also Brown has more upside unfortunately."
"This could be the first time I've agreed with you Professor daz. Now I need a bourbon to get over it"
"Unless a prop (Morettti, Williams, Tuivati and Maetele) is injured, T Brown coming in would be Williams shifting to edge? And Williams has mostly covered right edge backrow.

"Congrats young fella, give em hell. "
"Super mentioned his on poddy and is spot on. Brown is your RCG type. Punishes opponents and knocks them flying in defence. Tuivaiti is more that tuck under the arm and run and split markers. He's the Paulo type without the ball playing.
They are a…"

"I wonder who misses out. I said to HOE and Super on poddy of this but said who does he replace? Unless someone is a late exclusion. Look at the current bench. Tuivaiti will play, Edwards will play and Walker will play. It leaves Mataele as the odd…"
Remember Rodney Hogg
Rodney was a late arrival to Test cricket at age 27. Born in Victoria he was overlooked by state selectors and moved to Adelaide to find an earlier path to Shield.He was selected and within a year he was noticed by Alan Davidson who mentioned his…

Mason and Scope on Parramatta Recruitment and How Premierships Are Won
What Wins Premierships? Talent, culture, systems, pathways, or belonging and connectedness? For some, the answer is simpler. Who cares about the why? Sack as many as possible. Sign sexy names. Job done. One thing is for sure: premierships rarely…

There is no doubt he is a phenomenon. Averages 64, which is second only to the Don. And the most unusual thing about him is the way he bats, which defies modern techniques.
Here is an interesting bit of trivia for you. He has now scored 6 ashes hundreds in England. No England player has ever scored that many in England.
When you take out the first dozen or so tests when he was actually selected as a bowler his average is in the 80 plus area.
Who is he?
LOL
He's definately special. Teams just can't find a way to get him out.
His technique is not in the cricketing books. Neither was Bradman's though.
Watched his whole innings last night/early this morning and his technique and mental fortitude is right outside of the ordinary. Nothing flamboyant about him, just goes on with his business and rarely faiis.
He came into this season having miseed the first 7 months due to suspension and in a few months became the number 1 scoring batsman in the world of test cricket.
FMD, a 7 months handicap given to all test cricketers and he is now starting to blow them all out of the water, and all this after being terribly knocked out in the 2nd test and not playing in the 3rd test.
FMD. Just wow, wow, wow, wowwwwwwwwww.
Exactly Snake. I think Smith is the best batsman we've had since Bradman. Bats outside the box. So skilled, yet eccentric and unothodox.
Didn't expect it when I first saw him play. Looked awkward at first.
I must admit I was a huge fan of the Great West Indian top 3. Greenidge, Hayne, and Viv.
Viv Richards is one of my all time favourite batsman. He was the gum-chewing King Of The Jungle. Never even wore a helmet. Oozed confidence, skill and domination.
No idea who he is , but if he wears New Balance he better stay the fuck away from my kids .
Weak lilly livered piece of SHIT! and now we call him a hero.
No wonder this country is fuct.
There for his own glory and pay packet.
Bit like the NRL putting the wife bashers up as the game's heroes.
