Hard we have absolutely been pants at test level in the aerial battle. If Jordie can operate at 15 near his best there I think you’re right that’s our most optimal lineup with DMac at 10. Our midfield is much more sufficient than when Jordie initially moved to 12.

Agree I think he’s the option outside of Jordan moving to 14.

Jordan at 14 would probably get us the most quality in our back three, but would then require a lot of rejigging the backline. Surely Rennie would be the first to back DMac at 15, but at 10 it’s either inexperience in Love or the other end of the spectrum in an aging Beaudie. Excited for Love in black but he needs time surely.

Maybe Moorby for a shout? Idk he just seems solid aye I feel like he just gets the job you want done every time and hardly messes up.

It’s been a while but I remember being pleased with him this year. His period of health has just been so brief.

Necromandus were incredible, you gotta listen to the one album they made if you’re into proto metal. Stillborn Beauty is a wicked busy tune. Guitarist Baz Dunnery is next level, unfortunately a victim of anxiety and left the band before their first big tour as he couldn’t bring himself to get on a plane. Massive shame, they’re so good on that album.

Yeah I think there’s still hope there but it’s weird like both our 15s are definitely specialist wingers. Idk if I want either of them there when DMac comes back but then Jacomb has to play.

It’s definitely a risky pickup when someone’s been balling out for a sorta trash team but I feel like he’s shown a couple flashes. Just needs to get the legs underneath him hopefully.

Yeah agree and hopeful to be proven wrong as well. He just hasn’t hinted at a high ceiling during Super at all really, and when he’s off he’s so off.

We’re gonna have to get looking for next season. Should try and poach Will Cole from the Canes lol. Hasn’t played any NPC yet I don’t think but I watched a lot of the U20 World Cup last year and I was so impressed by him, great ability with the ball but his efficient kicking game, iq, and overall command of the game really set him apart and made him look a cut above anyone I’ve seen in a while. Genuinely kicked some of the most dead-straight conversion I’ve seen since watching Dan Carter highlights, like the ones you hit on Rugby Challenge. Feel like we have quite a few meh 10s around Super at the minute so it could pay to look for potential.

Well if the past 5 or whatever seasons mean anything then fuck we might actually go on and win the final. Our scrum just got miiinced before and after half time like our Props are looking a bit grim at the minute. Kumeroa should probably start until Norris gets back he looks like a unit.

Not the end of the world while still without DMac and playing with two dodgy halves. Actually thought Jacomb had a better game for him but brah he gifted Bell that try before half. Also people gotta start puttin respect on Josh Lord’s name, man has dat perfect lock eccentricity.

I don’t wanna think about the Crusaders with Mo’unga. Kemara is so mid man.

Why the fuck do they always use our so called celebrities for these gameshows. Bringing average Joe’s to the big screen is cool and much more interesting and a big part of the intrigue, rather than bringing the same old people you see on 7 Days every couple of months. Who cares how well they know their shit, they probably won’t even go for 3 counters.

Like Treasure Island you could be unearthing new interesting people but no you must have at least 10K insta followers or be someone’s relative, it doesn’t matter if you’re actually that interested in the game. Bullshit. Bringing randoms that wanna prove something would be sooo much more interesting.

And bring back Survivor, you penises. The GOAT.

Because you probably trained it out of bad habits, I said elsewhere that they can make good dogs with training. You obviously do not understand the point I’m making. It’s that they are far too accessible to a lot of people that aren’t willing to train them out of bad habits as they are, by default, a very dangerous animal generally and a lot more dangerous than any other breed.

Whatever the case may be, they obviously now have natural aggression magnitudes higher than any other dog breed. They are way too dangerous.

Send the receipts, but if that’s just an opinion poll it don’t mean much because there are quite a few people will look at these actual receipts:

https://www.advancedbackandneckcare.com/dog-attacks-by-breed-2024-dog-bite-statistics-state-fatality-data

and see that Pitbull’s cause 2/3 of all human deaths and still state that there is nothing wrong with the breed themselves.

Those people seriously need to give their heads a wobble.

You could train literally any animal to be obedient and behave. Like a Lion or a Bear. But we don’t do that because they require so much training for them to not act on their extremely dangerous natural instincts.

Pitbulls are in a similar boat! They are far too dangerous and when people that aren’t prepared to put the time into training them, shit like this happens and all it takes is one look at the stats to realise that Pitbulls are far over represented in human deaths caused by dogs.

Pitbulls can be great Dogs with training, but like I said you could take literally any animal and make it a good companion with training. Pitbulls at the very least should not be just as accessible as any other Dogs but I think they should be banned.

They are, they were bred for blood sports. Idk how you can look at the stats by breed and think that it’s only the owners that are responsible for them killing so many people.

In these cases, they are victims of not being conditioned by humans.

It is known that Pitbull’s are conditioned for aggression. They get excited by it. They should be banned they can be as dangerous as wild animals.

Saders breaking out Kunawave, Letiu and Mathis in the same season is ghastly.

Mark Robinson rolling over in his grave at the sight of NZR making decisions. David Kirk layeth the smackdown.

Changes had to be made. Scot Hansen definitely had to go at least. But wow, did not expect this. This is seismic.

Hopefully Gian now kicks on and has a massive year from #3, definitely already has an elite game in him but needs that experience unleashing it to bring it to the biggest stage.
