  2. Hunter AD Hunt

    England should win pretty easily.
     
  3. cloughie09 TJ Clough

    Not sure, our pack will be class, but out backs and halves will really need to step up to the mark otherwise we may get battered
     
  4. Magic AJ Parker

    NZ don't even have a recognised first grade half.

    I assume they'll probably go with Lolohea & Nikorima.

    England should smash them.
     
  5. Hunter AD Hunt

    You'd guess from that squad they'll roll with something like:

    1. RTS
    2. Hiku
    3. Whare
    4. SKD
    5. Nightingale
    6. Lolohea
    7. Nikorima
    8. Bromwich
    9. Luke
    10. Blair
    11. Glenn
    12. Proctor
    13. Taumalolo

    14. Taupau
    15. Moa
    16. Matulino
    17. Brown
     
  6. Magic AJ Parker

    That moment when you realise the Warriors only have 2 representatives in the Kiwi national team.
     
  7. The Half Back JW Taylor

    Don't tell Fiery, he might whip out the old "you sad you lost RTS?" line again.
     
  8. Fiery GR Smith

    I can see 4 there
     
  9. The Half Back JW Taylor

  10. Fiery GR Smith

    What's so funny? RTS and Luke are Warriors now...and of course there's Matulino and Lolohea.
     
  11. Julian BJ Taylor

    So Benji Marshall was unavilable then? Because there is no way he's not first picked half out of all of these cunts.
     
  12. Julian BJ Taylor

    So Benji Marshall was unavilable then? Because there is no way he's not first picked half out of all of these cunts. And Kieran Foran?

    This New Zealand team will suck.

    This is a shame considering where they've been at of late.
     
  13. Fiery GR Smith

    Both injured. Foran has an elbow injury which ruled him out of the tour. And Marshall has an injured ankle. Don't think he'll get any more caps while Kearney is coach anyway. Seems to be some bad blood there.

    We should smash the poms without them anyway.
     
  14. Magic AJ Parker

    Don't you ever get bored of being wrong Fiery?
     
  15. Fiery GR Smith

    Ummm...how am I wrong? Spin doctoring
     
  16. Magic AJ Parker

    Taumalolo ruled out with injury.

    Bit of a blow but they've got ridiculously good depth there.
     
  17. Mariner CL Warrington

    We've called up 7 uncapped players into the squad, no Cuthbertson though disappointingly.

    Thomas Burgess, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Dewsbury Moor
    Mike Cooper, St George Illawarra Dragons, Latchford Albion

  18. cloughie09 TJ Clough

    Should have cuthbertson instead of currie for me (Currie jumping ship from ireland in the long list of players and a rule that really pisses me off)
     
  19. Mariner CL Warrington

    Would rather have the extra prop in there as well.

    McGuire stiff too (as I've said before), a McGuire/Widdop halves pairing would've been so gun. Just have to hope they don't start Smith.
     
  20. cloughie09 TJ Clough

    Yeah I'd rather have mcguire than smith but I'm hoping they start Williams or gale with Widdop, we need the new and younger players than Mcguire playing we need to build to the world cup
