    Ben Castle the goods.......opinion from the Waikato

    Here's what a mate of mine and Waikato Chiefs fanatic had to say about BC :

    Ben Castle is the goods.
    Ultra reliable, hes no Carl Hayman but he will easily be the best tighthead in Australia upon his arrival.....and he can play loosehead just as well.
    He played some awesome ANZC rugby for the Bay and is only underated in NZ due to the quality of the other props we've had during his time.
    Not only that, hes only 29. Thats at the start of the prime period for most props.
    Hes also had the better of Tony Woodcock more than once, and thats no mean feat.
    Good pick up for the Force

    How about some running rugby from the attack coach?

    “Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White

    Now this is going to be a strange concept for you WJ because you most likely don't have many friends, being a Tahs supporter certainly doesn't help, but Chiselhead may have met a person who comes from the Waikato somewhere else and has since returned.

    but a mate of my dads, knows a guy who used to go out with a girl that was chisels uncles daughter and he said that chisel doesnt know anyone who comes from waikato cos he was to busy driving to toowoomba and practicing negativity!

    Ben Cousins thinks he'll be an excellent prop, propeller, ruckman or whatever, he mumbled....WJ...



    But because he is at the Force he will be the best tight head in OZ.....

    The various internet forums for the tah's and brumbies must currently be very poorly attended with the amount of time & effort that WJ & muddy put in here. Poor things can't find anyone to talk to about their teams.

    its not that no one wants to talk about the tahs or brumbies, its just that everywhere i go the word son everyones lips are "who is this ben castle fella?" or "is it true the best tighthead in the universe is coming to the force?" so i thought i would come and check him out from the source so to speak and chis hasnt dissapointed!

    Fair call mate, fair call.

    Seriously though, how does this site compare to others? It's the only rugby site I have participated in.

    theyellowscarf.com is good to, its a general site, supporters of aus rugby, worth being a part of!

    im a member of pretty much all of them, the silver fern in nz is good to for new zealand updates.

    gothetahs.com is fun, i like twf, coach and co have done a fantastic job!

    i like going everywhere, ive never really met a bad rugby fan (except nearthtop!)
