itm cup has a lot of young talent coming through and current all blacks.if you can show some talent in this comp then its a good step up for super 15 and eventually internationals...keeping in mind some s15 sides will beat many international sides.but its just great to have some attacking rugby
where running is encouraged.been pretty impressed with the standard of rugby tbh.

some of the guys in the itm have nrl written all over them.robbie fruen the samoan freight train 190 109kg does not just bend the line but he scittles players.hopefully one day some nz players cross codes but i guess im only dreaming at present.

sorry, couldn't give a flying ****!

the crusades fwd pack is mostly the same with manu leaving(another monster)but the backline just gets a little better with guildford and dagg.been watching maitland in canterburys itm and hes so dangerous but with dagg theres just to many good players and not enough spots.almost unfair the amount of talent in the canterbury district.

Yip putting an opinion down is, not giving a flying **** is not an opinion. If you don't agree with the subject of the thread then yeah that's fine, but if you don't care at all, then you have no opinion to give, so no reason to post in the thread.

I can't understand how Renee Ranger missed out?! *** he's a machine I would take him any day over the Iceman...Gutted for Israel dagg I haven't seen a more exciting youngster since Christian Cullen burst on the scene( btw I **** hate wugby but I love the All Blacks)

 

[aarooni]

check mate.anyway nonu is staying(as hes in great form)but sbw is a new x factor whos learning curve in the northern internationals will be a big step for preparing for the world cup.the centres have always been solid but with sbw/fruen/and others in the mould the pressure is now on for the selectors.personally robbie should have been there as there is no more menacing combo in rugby then sbw/fruen at present in my opinion.should be interesting to see how sbw goes in hong kong and europe.exciting times for rugby in general.

fair enough, he got smashed in the Barbarians game which is the highest level he's played at, has he stepped up since then I'm sure he has but will it be enough only time will tell. Please excuse my line on not caring but I do find it hard to keep my blood from boiling when talking about SBW although I try hard my heart always over rules my head

 

[aarooni]

renee is awesome and there will be a few players not too happy.ranger and fruen would be a smash in league.just the talent pool available means there will be some picks which i cant agree on.all good players but how do you leave these guys out.im loping some will come to the nrl .

Lol that was what his 1st game of union Or Sumfing? And he was marking the great Mortlock thought he held his own personally but in saying that I guess your just another uneducated hater that are stuck on the hatred which is fair enough, im slowly coming around the more i watch the dude play again..

Rene Ranger is not better than any of the players named in my opinion.

 

[aarooni]

true.broke some trust with that flight to france.that aside hes really killing it finally with champion players around him.he went to canterbury(nz)to learn from the best players and yes hes had a lot of pressure to perform.hes done very well and believe me there are many people in nz who didnt want him after leaving the dogs and the kiwis(who won the world cup)that year.they have had talk shows and debates about him and hes actually shut up and played learning from a pretty successful province/franchise.but yes will tell no man what to feel after what he did.

It was him or toiava personally Ragers got it all over him..

 

[aarooni]

pretty tough ask trying to adjust to a position/code with mortlock trying to hammer you...all part of the learning curve.pretty sure some kiwis in the itm have been trying to shut up the sbw show.
