Geez Jordy is not 100%. He's at 50%


Damn you NZ. Pick a rookie that's hungry

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

If Tapine is fit then he should play, it's an honor to be selected and he hasn't played a lot this year. He might benefit from the run actually. Be good if they played him on an edge.
I thought Rapana looked a bit sluggish and
Like he was favouring his knee vs Tigers.

Yeah by not fit, I mean- slightly injured. Definitely lost some of his dynamism.

Blind Freddy can see Rapana isn't ready for rep footy yet. Hopefully his selection is treated as an honourary recognition and he's withdrawn from the game.

Morris made a good point in his presser about wanting him to play next week to get more game time.
On Morris, I have to say he makes my dislike of Cronulla lessen a little. He is infinitely more likeable than Flanagan.
He wants them to let him play a test match to get more game time? That would be an interesting conversation to have with the test coach.
Yeah both the Morris coach and player help the sharks rep.

CNK wants to play for the Cook Islands in the WC... He is available for NZ selection at other times (if that is within the rules).

His locker room interview with Denan Kemp he mentions he's loyal to Cook Islands cause they picked him out of 20s

I honestly think he could use the rest and should withdraw. I have no idea about international footy in the second tier but I doubt they need him to beat south Africa.

Canberra Raiders forward Siliva Havili hooking into double life ahead of Tonga Test

Siliva Havili will be ready to do whatever role Raiders coach Ricky Stuart requires of him against the Parramatta Eels - after playing his 11th Test for Tonga at hooker this weekend.

"It's exciting for the country, it's exciting for the game. It's a big occasion again. Everyone always gets up for this game," he said.
