World Cup Fixtures and Teams

[Rodo]

If he is signed by Easts to qualify for the WC, the Salary Cap Auditor needs to be on the ball.

Apparently the Roosters have already factored in SBW playing for them next year so money is not an issue.

 

[dowdz]

So, poor Harris from the Storm, who was with the squad, now misses out on his dream, thanks to SBW and his bull crap.

Kiwi's should of told thanks but no thanks

 

[winnyason]

Appauling now young harris quite a good player would have no doubt got chance with either tonga or samoa through heritage. SBW is a turd burger he has not changed only in it for himself only people who like him roosters fans.
A total prick imagine the phone call young harris had to take should havr made sbw make it. I normally have soft spot for kiwis not now.
Side note i hope the french make the last 8 need win over png and samoa to do this.

-------------------------------------------------------

Such a long campaign

If the rest of Manly get back to training November 11 - then DCE, Taufua, Hasson will be a month behind the squad

 

[eagles2win]

Nothing on the old Roo tours tbh - on average played 20 games and were away for 2 months.

The 1950's versions they played 35 - 40 matches.

---

Interestingly the Roos may have to wear an alternate jersey when they face Ireland in Limerick both teams play in dark green - Australia has played in alternate jerseys in the past.

Also this World Cup is on it's way to becoming the biggest attended one.

Forza Italia

LONDON: England suffered a shock 15-14 loss to minnows Italy in a Rugby League World Cup warm-up match on Saturday -- just a week before the tournament starts.

Based on that result, Manly would beat England. Our players eat pizza regularly.

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

I thought FOZ was gonna be NZ captain. Now its Simon Mannering. :huh: What's going on there ?

 

[hairylittlehobbit]

Mannering is the captain he just missed the anzac test this year

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

Australia: Team: Billy Slater, Brett Morris, Greg Inglis, Brent Tate, Darius Boyd, Johnathan Thurston, Cooper Cronk, Matthew Scott, Cameron Smith (c), James Tamou, Greg Bird, Sam Thaiday, Paul Gallen. Interchange: Andrew Fifita, Luke Lewis, Robbie Farah, Corey Parker

[HoldenV8]

Looks like Sheens has gone for Luke Lewis over DCE for the utility role. And shock horror Robbie Farah got named.

Can someone please explain to me how Sam Thaiday and James Tamou keep getting picked for the Kangaroos.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

An Australian 17 without a single Manly player? (and in a season when we missed being premiers by a mere whisker)
Ridiculous, there has to be an investigation into this
