I thought the same about the older players. Bateman is an argumentative player now wanting to fight all the time.Firestarter wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2024 6:58 pm Smith was unlucky not to get mom for me.Thought ashton had a great game but not keen on young.Surely marshy and ashton for wings?.Also why keep playing older players like bateman and mckmeekan? Nsemba better than both and KPP also.Well at least lewis scored so the commentator could cream himself
So you won’t be bothered if the discussion regarding an Ashes Tour with Australia comes to fruition?Blackpool_Pie wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 10:50 am International RL is dying a slow painful death. Lack of intensity, poor crowd turnout, terrible coverage across the media etc. I'm just not interested in watching it that much anymore

Tonga / Samoa are 2 very good international sides, but it feels like the English fans are only interested in playing v Oz. With some of the names on show on Saturday, there should be 25k fans there to watch it. Again, we will have complaints about ticket prices , lack of promotion /coverage but it think thats just that RL fans love to moan about everything and anything
i've posted previously that international rugby needs a defined calendar which all nations buy into. Samoa were a replacement this year for Tonga, who decided not to your cos the NRL put pressure on them, however, it should be proper 3 test series, with a warm up match (1 minimum), so they are at least prepared for the intensity of a test. they looked goosed at points on Saturday
i know we'll never get back to the tours of the 80s / 90s that i 1st remember when the Ozzies came over / GB went over there and played 3 tests, plus a host of club matches too. However, we should embrace international RL as the pinnacle of a players career and give them the stage and crowds to perform, at the minute the game is failing the players big time
to be honest Josie, i think the NZ touring sides took a few years to catch up with the Ozzies in terms of how our fans perceived them, but there were many great contests between our 2 nations as we are / very similar in ability. however, we regularly had big crowds on for the club matches and test matchesjosie andrews wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 11:35 amthe pieman wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 11:20 amits sad to see, but if we all took that attitude, then it will completely dieBlackpool_Pie wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 10:50 am International RL is dying a slow painful death.

And the New Zealand tours of that era
I went to both the England Wheelchair & Men’s game this weekend & looking forward to next week
