Mate im kiwi born an raised an like all kiwi's ALL BLACKS is the way of life bro

All kids play rugby in New Zealand on Saturday an League's game are on Sunday's

Contact sports runs in our blood but growing up in New Zealand had no ARL or NRL team so im a Rooster thick an thin!

As for the Rugby forums im in AUCKLAND BLUE'S an ALL BLACKS forums

What about Cricket though - how big is it across the Ditch - Do many Polynesians play it though - been a few in your Test Team over the Years - Luteru Ross Poutoa Lote Taylor (Ross Taylor ) for an example - Black Caps are playing India in the World Test Championship -starting June 18(18-22) in Southampton UK

Although the late Former New Zealand cricket captain Martin Crowe in 2003 said Maori do not make good cricketers because they struggle to concentrate for a day.

Cricket an touch footy is summer sports an just like rugby being played on Saturday an league on Sunday Cricket is on Saturday an touch footy on Sunday! The poor parents are busy in NZ all year round unlike here where my son just plays league because league an union clash on same training days an game day's unlike NZ

Interesting comments from Brandon Smith tonight on Fox. Said TJ asked him for clips on RL hookers and that he was signing with an NRL club. This was back in February.

Sounds like a foregone conclusion that he has signed with us.

I hope he comes an players hooker because with his skill set at that position he will kill it!! 29 at the peak of his form cashed up , has a background playing hooker in league, he just doesn't have nathing to lose coming into a premiership winning team with his best mate SWB an now Jake to guide him through!

He leads the HAKA for the All BLACKS an captained Hurricanes , there is alot to like about this deal! Speed off the mark type of player

and he's not shy about talking and leading a team around and that's what we're missing. S Walker will get there one day but we need someone now who can be like Cooper was and if he gets our attack going forward, then I'm Excited!!
Can you recommend any All Blacks game that he's had a good performance that we can find on You Tube? I found a lot of the Hurricanes games but the Hurricanes don't do much for me.

Can he rack up 30-40 tackles every game with minimal misses because that’s what will be expected of him as a starting hooker for the Roosters?

[King Salvo]

Not sure the Chooks will be signing him - if Warriors baulk at his terms then must be more than 130k and maybe multi year as well?

When I read the title of this thread I at first thought you were announcing the fact you have another ref on your books to keep giving you favors.

yep, we've got a few on the books but that's not the main reason we've won 6 comps in the last 50 years and you've won one

Will probably need half a season to show the quality you speak of. Can’t just come in and be a superstar from the start.

Can’t argue with that..

You basically have to do so these days.
Get picked in the cricket team and don't make runs...you soon find yourself unpicked.
