Austrailian and Kiwi players who played in yesterday's test match also play this weekend, Thurston for one played this morning less than 24 hrs after an international and scored a hatrick. No whinging about a tough easter run there!

The likes of Laffranchi, Kurt Gidley, Inglis, Folau also backing up this weekend.

Immense effort.

I dont know the age of the others, but Gidley is no spring chicken either!

There'll be more of them doing it in a few weeks, for a few weeks, when the origin series starts.

He's 26!!

For some reason i thought he was 29/30

No, thats his brother

For some reason i just thought he was a couple of years younger than matt, not 5. Still a good effort to turn round next day!

Cunningham and Graham should be sent a video

The NRL is so slow and boring it's impressive that they didn't fall asleep after playing in the international.

Lets face it, playing in Aus is not the same as playing here.

Matt King tell you to say that?

This is a stupid comparison to make. You are talking about individuals playing again. There are probably 16 other fit and fresh players in in the sides to help them out.

If the NRL sides played two games in a weekend, you'd see the second being played at a much lower intensity level.

It's not like KC and Jammer couldn't play two games, they just think it's stupid as the second games always suffer.
