Emerging Aussie winger Kellaway coming to the Premiership

BTW abusing opposition fans is a citable offence the same as abusing an official.

It’s normally on field, but if players start it on line or in interview to get clicks then it would probably needs to be extended there.

Can you imagine a McCaw led team lowering themselves to get involved in such nonsense? Would Conrad Smith be taking the bait? No, those blokes were too busy being the best and letting their actions do the talking. That was enough.

Just beating a team well and ignoring that nonsense is the single most powerful response you could ever come up with.

As soon as you react, and it wasn’t a one-off out of character behaviour from Ioane by any means, you lower yourself to your antagonists level, often sinking way below it. You lose the higher ground and often end up looking the bigger of the two twats.

And to think it wouldn’t be perceived that way and that media wouldn’t have a feast over it, is absolute naivety.

At least Ioane should concentrate on being the very best in his position first, and then he can earn the right to get involved in that nonsense. Although, letting your actions do the talking will always be far more effective.

It still comes down to golden oldies when they can’t be replaced. Does it happen on the fly in league? Cricket comps have introduced some sort of power player mechanic too right.

I’m not sure what’s happenning in SR, but I’ve not really seen any further situation of teams being out on their feet with 10 to like I did at the biggening of the season. This sort of stuff is easy to manipulate though, I would think, with the data available they just need to use say an interchange number to limit the speeds people are clocking up.

Take the data, make some calculations that show ‘players are at -10% capacity now’ to know you’ve hit some right marker. Games are just so much more interest when than physical to fitness barrier/line gets hit, and this picture on the pitch starts to change.

It's good they’re back but really they need to be judged on the back end of their season.

You're right though, they were on the wrong end of some horrible scorelines too.

7 of the last 8 is accurate.

My analogy was showing you that you wouldn’t cheat.

You don’t know what golden oldies are? Uncontested scrums here.

You can make as many changes as you have subs. There is no limit on them, unlimited.

Not my idea Steve, I was only explaining it to you.

For a start, the skaapnaaiers would be screaming to the rafters about cheating. And anyway, are you so old you can’t remember when we only had injury replacements (and boot money up to 1995 because said skaapnaaiers and poms were totally against professionalism) and the furore they caused?

WTF are you talking about ‘golden oldies’??

And WTF are you talking about ‘current unlimited injury changes’?? You can only do that for an HIA!!!

Sorry, but with peophols like you around, the game can only go one way - down the pan.
