He moves so well.... First time I've seen him in open space

Have you watched any Tigers games this year???

Fair dinkum - short term memory function going?

He was Rookie of the Year for a reason!

Pre-Origin anthem 2005. Of the 34 players lined up, maybe 5 are moving their lips. No one cared back then.

Wow!!

What a deep dive into history....

Origin is irrelevant because it is provincial!

But just look back at the Kangaroos in 78 - 82 - 86 - 90 ...... players did NOT sing the anthem!!

It was not political - it just was not done!!

This media kerfuffle is imported parochial US flag-waving nonsense masquerading as news - and demonising players of a certain complexion!

Said it many times before bula really struggles to get involved.

Keep saying it!!

While evidently not actually understanding what you are watching Mr Magoo

Jahream Bula:

1 try
2 line breaks
21 runs for
253 metres (Game-high)
2 try saves
13 tackle breaks

He was the MVP for Fiji!

You are the worst judge of footballers on here - and you have serious competition Tony!!

Best is subjective. Think Billy slater nailed it with fullback coaching would go a long way!

Subjective to those with zero clue!!

Still pining for that cooked horsefaced punk in #1 for Australia....

 

[Snidest 0]

Was also fairly obvious he was their best

Yep - forget about Magoo!

 

[Snidest 0]

Crazy ay.

How about Tubby Lolohea playing well at 6 for Tonga too?

I saw a bloke in park footy the other day who would be better than.....

It's on the cook Islands.
Ok to before specific mean involved in attack.

Everything has be to politicised these days. It’s the in thing.

Is it demonising them when others have publically stated they refuse to sing as a protest?
If these guys feel they have dual allegiances or don’t feel their country of birth supports them, fine, there are other options for them.

Hope Tonga, Samoa, Fiji or PNG win everything. Its get a bit boring.

Was hoping in the last game that Edwards and Tedesco might swap for at least 20 or 30 minutes to give Edwards a run in the fullback spot, he didn't get many opportunities to show his stuff out on the wing and playing against weaker opposition in the form of Samoa would have been the perfect opportunity to do it.

Can't really see it happening now during these next 2 games against a strong opposition in the form of New Zealand unless injury and a reshuffle force it.

Golden opportunity lost.

Well we might finally get a game on Saturday. I’m going to the Cox Plate so unfortunately won’t have the stamina to do the night as well.
But will be watching with interest coz NZ looked sharp last week.

I think he was more a token selection , to satisfy the outcry over his original omission , rather than seriously considered to take over from Teddy ( at least at this stage) but now he’s been selected I see that as being above Walsh and makes him next in line,

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Valentine Holmes. So disappointing he is selected. What about his sugar levels? His health?

 

[Demps]

The 7 McGregor for NZ (women's)
Watched her closely throughout the year

She's so ordinary.
Plays a very basic game.
Her only positive attribute is the kicking game...

She'd be very easy to coach against.
