| Quote Bull Mania="Bull Mania"I was talking about his performance last week. I agree yesterday he was poor, but did any of the Kiwis play outstanding? What did you make of Bill Slaters performance yesterday? You know they guy that cost his side the 08 WC?'"
Thought Billy had a good game, although there were a couple of times I hoped he'd get clear and give us an 80 yarder. Australia played as a team and were stunning. Best I've seen them play for over a decade. |

If you want to see a hatchet job (I guess he's a Unionist??):
www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/ar ... d=11165456
I think Kearney is great, but I do agree (as I said earlier) that they should not have let SBW in after they'd announced the squad. To me that was awful and at the end of the day he added nothing to their final performance and arguably contributed sgnificantly to the defeat. |

He's a Kiwi.....by definition he is a sports journalist in a country where the national sport and biggest game by a country mile is Rugby Union.
Kearney has to go for the Kiwi's to be able to catch the Aussies....5 wins in the last 34 games this century. |

Just when I thought, JD had improved his commentatory manner, He started fawning over SBW when he was actually having a poor second half, it was over the top hero worship bordering on sychophantic.
SBW has been a key character of this RLWC and his influence has sold thousands of tickets. To call him a one trick pony is rather harsh and NZ certainly would not have progressed beyond the semi-final without him in my most humble opinion.

SBW and his agent had a meeting with Marwan Koukash yesterday morning, managed to have a chat with him before he left and they're looking at doing a deal to bring SBW to Salford in 2016.

How sure are you that this is true? After all SBW wants to play rugby union in the next RUWC year 2015, and play rugby 7s at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil. |

How sure am I? 200% because I had a brief chat with him before he left the stadium. When was your last discussion with him? As I understood it, the plan is to play RU in 2015 in order to make their World Cup but is open to offers after that, the Olympics was never mentioned.
Means absolutely nothing of course, but I am told SBW is now following Marwan Koukash on Twitter too. It’s safe to say they’ll both be keeping in touch over the next couple of seasons. |

| Quote Dally="Dally"SBW may excel at club RL and international RU but at international RL, I think the jury is out. He played one great team and one half-decent team in this WC. He gave the ball up against England [uand was dominated by Burgess. [/uAgainst Australia by the end he was utterly shown up as a one trick pony - offloading and to the wrong team. I think NZ made a mistake in selecting him after his change of mind. You only win if you are a team - he was too much of their go too player when they were under trhe cosh. It was like watching England when Andy Farrell played. One man is too easily wrapped up no matter how good he is and by the end yesterday he was dismantled into an embarassment to his team - just as Andy Farrell used to be in the last 20 minutes against Australia. I think NZ could have won the tornamenment without him.'"
Oh dear.  |
