If AJ switch to Rugby then I just have to learn new things ie. to watch and learn rugby, but now I have to defer it.
Kind regards

[Retire Young, Retire Rich] [strum]Johns would’ve been an ordinary rugby player, plus he would’ve spent even more time off the field as his back gives in after the first big ruck he gets stuck on the bottom of.
As for the ‘tahs, they need to learn how to beat the Reds before they can make the semis [medieval]
Fortunately they are not trying to poach Lockyer, who was clearly voted the best player in rugby league well ahead of Johns… who was third I think.

RATHBONE!!!
Rathbone eh ? What junior development did the ARU do for Rathbone ? He’s another import, South African in fact. His only tie to Australia is his Grand Father. We poached him from SA with $$$$$$
So how would Johns have been different ?
Radike Samo is another that was poached from another country – Fiji.
I don’t know how we expect these other countries to improve if we steal all their good players and call them ours…
Cheers

I was of the opinion Rathbone grew up and played here. My humble apologies.
No need to apologise, but it might be an idea to check your facts before using Size 6, Red, Bold font to try and make a point.
As for Oz stealing players, we have a few imports in the current squad, not only Samo.
Fijians- Lote Tuqiri , Radike Samo
Tongans- George Smith , Mark Gerrard
Maori’s -Jeremy Paul , Morgan Turinui
Sout African – Clyde Rathbone (Rathbone actually capatined the SA Under 21 team)
