Have heard a format mooted which would see top 6 through to finals round 2, teams 7-10 play an elimination final and then the winners slot into positions 7 & 8 and the finals continue as we currently know them
Interesting you think our commentators are biased, I often feel like muting the commentators as they go overboard sycophantic trying to talk up the opposition- particularly Justin Marshall.
As far as Union goes the Aus and Irish commentators are much worse, one of the funniest things I can...
Conspiracy theory time, NRL take the government cash to set up the player pathways to increase the player pool, set up a decent compound for travelling teams and potentially an upgraded PNG stadium while increasing the profile. Fast forward 10years (or less) if it hasn’t worked they have...
It’s not always about the money, even the Warriors get plenty turning us down even paying well overs.
Single players sure but ones with families not so much.
If I was a single player needing a break maybe but definitely not with a family. How many of those players would stick around more than a...
Big difference is there are SOME unsafe places in Aus/ NZ it’s fairly easy to avoid them if u want and theyre generally not forced upon you in everyday life.
PNG is a different world it’s basically unsafe outside of a compound ALL the time. I have a mate married to a Papuan and goes there a...
Some more of the dynasty kiwis kit is up on their site. The white strip from the teaser now makes sense(training tee) wonder what the checkered strip is going to be?
Had a couple of ‘off the wagon’ days due to some work stuff but will do double sessions to make it up (done 1 already, still ‘owe’ 2).
Have a relatively repetitive program but the aim each week is;
2 x Squash games
1 Swim mid week to loosen up.
2 x HIIT type sessions that is more sit up/ press...
Waaaaay to busy to be an effective logo, most logos are trending towards something much more simple that can be readily used as an icon- this is much to detailed to achieve that.
2nd thing is it needs to be instantly recognisable to be effective- this does not look like a kea
Think backs are relatively’ similar between the codes with league having to make more tackles/contact but Union needing more of a kicking game (outside of the obvious halves).
Forwards I played both and found league it was the general cardio of the essentially 10m shuttles that needed quite a...
Played from high school and still do now with a couple of sabbaticals in between.
Started off Lock as I was tall for my age but no bastard could lift me the had the steady regression from Wing to Fullback to Midfield to 8 to 6 to prop… where I remain to this day
Played a few fill in games as a 2nd rower after Union season for a couple of years had, mainly to be blunt because the local league was pretty disorganised is the reason I played Union more.
Still play Union now at the ripe old age of 40 but as I’m a prop league doesn’t really have a spot for me...
