6 Million Over the Top

What a joke that 1 player is getting supposedly 6 million bucks over 5 years, the way Lote is playing at the moment he is not worth 5 bucks in my book. The Kiwi wingers will be looking forward to running rings around him, they get paid about 25% of what Lote is on.

I laughed at McKenzies article last week where he was whingeing about the refs not refereeing the offside in the rucks. What a joke, if he got his pack to drive forward instead of coming to a complete halt he might not have to worry about opposition players hanging around the breakdown. I love the way Al Baxter stands to the side of every ruck and "scans" the opposition in the pillar position. This is seen as a positive ruck involvement by the stats, what a joke. No wonder the All Blacks and Boks absolutely belt us in the loose when it comes to test matches, our players are taught that stopping at the ruck and "scanning" is a positive involvement.

Australian Rugby is fast becoming a farce, obviously we don't have the depth to fill four Super 14 franchises. Each of the Australian teams have about 5 players in the 22 who are just not up to the standard required and it is being reflected in the results.
