Well that's mostly because the content put out on Fox League is rubbish outrage based trash that equates to 3 old boomers yelling at each other while Yvonne Sampson sits there and watches, while the content on NRL.com was actually really good.
Pretty sure there is another thread for that chat though![]()

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
"SMH tweeting that Noah Lolesio has been called into the squad."
I actually think this could be OK. Cooper, good as he's been, represented a risk in the UK where Eddy Jones & Co would have really applied the blowtorch. Without Kerevi to take the hard runs - not sure. JOC has much more experience over there. I'm happy enough.

So with the Autumn Internationals underway, any thoughts on the "caterpillar ruck" tactic? I hope the referees will police the "use it" law a bit better. Been watching the Premiership a bit watching Ryan McCauley.
I'm not hopeful on what I've seen. Ferinstance the highly experienced Wayne Barnes regularly makes the call then allows another 4-5+ seconds deliberate slowing down. One one occasion the 9 reached in and dragged the ball then calmly used his foot to paddle it back past 3 late arrivals. Play on, FFS!![]()

For a refreshing change of pace, have a look at the ox nche yellow card from staffers vs taffys, I only just watched that game today and that constitutes the absolute best work I've seen around use of video to confirm a yellow card. The conversation was clear and concise with (IMHO) brilliant application of law appropriate to the situation

Quade Cooper has made James O'Connor look like a bricklayer not an international flyhalf.
Spent far too little of the game running with the football, I might not have watched closely enough but it looked to me like he didn't carry to the line before the 70th minute.
It pains me to say he looked sharper with Beale at 12 than the bloke whose been standing next to him for the last year.
Ra need to make an emergency phone call to kintetsu to buy Quade out of his contract and place him in an Aussie team

In fairness samu kerevi is for me the biggest difference from the SA games to all others this year
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
I was discussing former Force tight head prop Ollie Hoskins, now with London Irish, over on Green and Gold a few days ago.
But apparently he has now been called into the Wallabies squad as cover. I don't have a link for it, though.
Y'never know. Always had potential for higher honours.
OK, nothing official, just a tweet from Christy Doran:
