Ironic because the argument put forward by some is that a single Wests Tigers team would not work because of the travel expectations for kids in the SW
I have never watched the Tigers lose and then sat back and thought "rugby league is the winner" or "I actually enjoyed that". Tigers lose it burns me up inside (less so now than it used to).
I do that all the time with Test Cricket though. Watching good, hard test cricket the pinnacle of sport...
Probably is a little more than virtue signalling to the women who play the game and their families, or the girls growing up who can see a pathway to being a professional rugby league player if that is something they desire.
Luckily you are probably not the intended audience so you can go on...
Yeah really glad there has been hardly any blow outs in the mens world cup.
Curious, if you dislike it so much why on earth would you watch it? Plenty in the world to be upset about.
There's been more sequels to this movie than fast and the furious. I hope it works out, I can see why they have made the signing and it is on the surface a good signing, it just not the type of signing that has ever worked for us in the past...
Feels right when half a team of New South Welshman is lead around by a New South Welshman.
Few other young guys like Weibgen, Goodwin and Kellaway can put themselves in the frame with a big few shield games. Olly Davies too, although he has done nothing apart from that 250
For what its worth here's what i would roll out for the first test against NZ, with an eye on India and England:
Renshaw
Head
Smith
Mcsweeney
Green
Inglis
Carey
Rocchiccioli
Bowlers
Around the squad I would have
Jye Richardson
Riley Meredith
Sam Konstas
Olly Peake
Cooper Connelly
Lyon and...
If picking guys like Peake and Connelly we will need to accept some pretty defeats in the ashes and india. Although on the current evidence I think only Renshaw and Head can score the runs required over there
Changes need to be made. Team is on a downward trajectory. Just whether they need to go full rebuild guys like Konstas and McSweeney and look to the future or patch the team up with ageing guys like Patterson to get through the next 12 months
