A bit random, but it just reminded me of the slap in the face Tohu got in 2013 when he was dumped out of the Kiwis World Cup squad last minute for a 'bigger than the game' SBW
Tohu's parents had booked tickets to the UK to watch him play, and were left hanging.
"I'm really sorry about the Tohu...
Leiataua should be back in Cup this week if the injury updates are correct. We have quite a bit of depth at centre, but it is being sorely tested with Ieremia-Toeava and Tu playing there this week
Unfortunately opposition coaches aren't like blinkered forum fans or media trying to create heroes for marketing.
They have RTS circled as a defensive liability, and I doubt very much they are loading up defenders on him at present. He has to make more tackles than his other centre week in...
Longevity wise, 14 years is a hell of an innings for a speedy half. I really can't overstate that, 14 years is bonkers. Not reaching 300 games will hurt him.
Has he achieved his potential? Depends what you measure that on. I'd say yes overall, though I'm sure everyone felt at the time that we...
It's a funny one. On one hand we have to put our strongest team out there. That is non-negotiable.
On the other hand if SJ had a farewell testimonial game, I'd consider flying up for it, such is my desire to be part of the occasion that thanks him for the very special club memories given to us...
Among the brilliance there have always been question marks over SJs kicking game being eyes up. It improved in the second half of his career, but I don't think he has ever had the time on the ball or vision of someone like DCE or Reynolds.
His strength early days was his elusiveness and in the...
They look good at the minute.
Their defence is top notch, they have some momentum in belief, and they have mobility to go through/around our edges.
Sometimes I look at it more like who can expose our problems more. That's why the Titans are scarier to us than other teams despite being one of...
Yay for Origin. Walsh would have killed us today.
The Warriors were committed today, good energy. Yet we found it hard to pull away from a Baby’s Broncos, who are struggling this season and just 1 point above us on the ladder. Any win is great news with each club much of a muchness, but I feel...
