great player but i agree having an English Grandmother is a bit rich
Its as bad as Cricket

I was about to say they're taking a leaf out of the England cricket teams book, but you beat me to it

Re: blake austin : Mon Jul 15, 2019 8:52 pm  

Not saying I agree or disagree, but it's hardly a new thing that Bennett has brought in.

Both Rangi Chase and Chris Heighington have both played for England in the last few years

hmmm, so where was he the last few years playing in the NRL? didnt see him offer his allegiance to england then, suddenly now he plays in the superleague and any chance of playing for aus has completely gone he wants in! maybe if he chose england whilst playing in the nrl it wouldnt be so bad!

no thanks!

Don’t see no problem with it myself , Aussies have even done it themselves so if we turn it down it makes it more difficult to catch them . Don’t think they’ll be many complaints if he and a couple more help us start beating them regularly.

He seems to go missing when things get tough so seems the perfect fit for an England half back. Also have jake trueman in there so you know the bottom of the barrel is well scraped.

Oh for a new gregory/edwards combo there

I've heard this "goes missing" criticism levelled at him before. It's not as simple as that. You can see he is a class player, but in this present team there are so many around him that just aren't performing, we are all aware of who they are.
Expectation from our end for the match tomorrow is very low, which might be a good thing for us.

Didn't go missing today

Re: blake austin : Sat Jul 27, 2019 7:37 pm  

no he had a good game, as did your team,
