Have you ever watched an nsw cup match?

Let me say the nsw cup matches I watch (over 10 games a season) are near enough super league standard, it is high quality stuff!!

It's still not first grade.

True, but it is not part time stuff aswell.

Each nsw cup team are feeders for a nrl team. From my recent chats with rooster, he knows (and take it from me he knows) and I know that the pool of talent there is breathtaking. Also all these players are one step away from an nrl start. With this in mind this is what makes the standard so high, the dream of making that next step.

Do not consider nsw cup a sub standard level. It definitely is not!!! The guys are as fit as there counterparts in the nrl, they go as hard as their nrl counterparts.

NSW cup is a good standard of comp, but it is not FIRST GRADE! Hope that clears this up

There's only one F in Farrar!

lol

You weren't showing ignorance at all. Nor GF.

People just said things Manly and he hasn't played. It could have been misinterpreted by some that he hasn't played at all. I just wanted to clarify to people back in London he has.

Maybe by people for whom English is maybe their second language, which according to some of our more 'NEW AND ENTUSIASTIC" posters on here is our new target audience for the Hive
Lol, don't knock it till you've tried it!....Any thinking outside the box by Broncos is a good thing I reckon. Sarries done it with a South African night to entice the Saffa followers of Sarries around the area not so long ago

Thread drift....but I have to respond. Sorry.
A quick glance at the sporting landscape of South Africa, together with a demographic profiling of the ex-pat South Africans in the capita city would point to Rugby Union being part of their 'leisure time' activity.

Not sure if the Tel Aviv Rhinos are as big a national draw0card as the Natal Sharks.....

Welcome Ben "there only one "F" in Farrar.....a real opportunity for you to make a name for yourself is on the table in the capital......at half, centre, wing or FB, this is the season that legends can be discovered.

Bring on the Bradford Bills........I fancy steak.....RARE!

Also I can confirm that he played in 2013, so that statement can be believed even though it's an "appearance"

Here here GF

I seem to recall various initiatives at the Stoop, when Crusaders played against Natal (I think) at Twickenham because of the earthquake there was an offer to come to our game against Hull before hand for very little. it was all abit chaotic as Natal are black and white colours as well. there was also get in for a fiver or something like that wearing your teams football shirt during either the World Cup or euros with the England match on the screens after.

Can anyone confirmed they arrived Ok. With our luck they could have changed flights at Bangkok and decided they prefered the delights of Pat Pong instead.
