    Exactly, just silence and a nod for all our tries. I had money on a -31 handicap as well which made it even better.

    This could only have been made better by the existence of a broadsheet sized betting slip you could have elaborately unfolded.

    It won't go through. Sky wanted to merge loads of clubs when they launched Super League, but the SEETHE sent them packing, and that was just moaning English people. Once their fans start shutting roads and burning things they will shit the bed and settle on a ground share.

    It's pretty easy winding up Kiwis at the moment. All I have to do is mildly compliment England and the preciousness explodes out them like a Volcano erupting. Lol

    I read a hilarious article yesterday that started 'England, Aussie coached and New Zealand captained...' and went on to average the world ranking of each teams opponents. Alright lads, calm down, you did win the World Cup.

    World rankings hardly take into account the game-raising bitterness of our most frequent opponents.

    Wait, where did you hear this?

    Eddie Jones has promised not to put on his cloak and play Little Red Riding Hood after comparing All Blacks coach Steve Hansen to the Big Bad Wolf.
    As England eye New Zealand's No 1 ranking, Hansen praised Jones as he chases a second Grand Slam in two years.
    But rather than bow to Hansen, the Australian took a cautionary stance and cast the Kiwi as the fairytale predator.

    That did make me smile.

    For me we're still very much no2. In a single game I'd back the Kiwis, in a series I'd be confident we could win one and be competitive in the other two. We still have the potential to not really turn up for 40 minutes which would be suicide against that lot, plus we still need to find a proper 15.

    Who's going to turn up for this then? Logic would suggest not France but then again it is a mostly pointless fixture so they could play the best rugger of their lives.

    He clearly has a cold of some sort which takes his voice out of its normal tinnitus inducing range. He's gone completely now which is a double edged sword as on the one hand I don't have to listen to him but on the other we don't get his doleful little whimpers in the background when Wales fuck it up.

    Of all the annoying pundits he is one of the ones where it's most satisfying to see him crushed with disappointment.

    Regional Twitter seems to have enjoyed it, presumably having realised that the easy draw all but guarantees it next year.

    That Theo Fages offload was mental. France could have a very handy side if more of them left France and learned not to be benders.

    Speaking of which: lol

    In a sensible world they would lose half of their side to New South Wales, but the stiffs in charge will have already pencilled in Mitchell Pearce and James Maloney for another crack, and Jarrod Croker is probably always going to be one of those bizarre oversights like Hazem El Masri and his one appearance.

    lol at loads of clubs possibly having spent over the next salary cap already, and lol at the idea of not having one for a year instead of having to adjust to it (unless Canterbury signed Jarryd Hayne and Kieran Foran on one year deals to make the other clubs seethe). Speaking of which, why is the NRL getting on board with this Cameron Smith win record business? Didn't he have five seasons' worth of wins voided?

    Yeah that's bizarre. If the NFL could somehow fit their business model to the NRL Union would be dead and buried.

    Does the NFL even have a business model, or does it just hoover money up by existing?

    What's this Wayne Bennett stuff about as well? From what I can gather, he has a new bird, but he doesn't like people knowing about it, so now he hates Paul Kent (who is a gobshite). We could do without him having a MELTDOWN before the World Cup.

    I doubt it would be his undoing. He has always been a private person so it's no surprise he isn't keen in the rubbish the Kent and the like are doing.

    Would union shower Cooper Cronk with money, or would he be too old to bet on for the next World Cup? He's been a bit shifty about Sydney clubs, but surely he can't expect to leave it until the end of the season to make his mind up, because nobody will have the million-plus left in their salary cap to sign him.

    He was in the year above me at school and in the age group above me at Sunnybank. He was the best inside centre of his generation.

    No money in Aussie​ for Cronk. Would he fit in French Rugby?
