Crazy to finally hear Sualii pronounced right. League needs someone who actually knows Islander pronounciations. I laugh at the whole thing as the League media are blasting Sualii at going to Union when League clubs were offering the "world". How ironic that he goes to a sport that really is "worldwide".

Most of the games I've seen, the first 8 are playing with the ball in hand that leads to fatigue thus you have injuries occuring more frequently, the backs only get involved in high speed running where injuries are less
If the first 8 Keep running into brick walls you eventually will feel pain , this is called mother nature

Regards comparing us to the Northern Hemisphere game, bring on our Refs who have been there recently for their views on the next program. They have had a direct view of what's happening North and Super Pacific games.

Goodbye rts. Goodbye akira, goodbye ofa. Razor won't be putting up with mediocrity.

Just curious as to how short the pants can get this season on the panel.
They'll be in bike shorts in a few weeks.

[darrelllingman]

I think the panel is GR8!You don't all agree but all passionate about the game, I enjoy all your comments !

Thomas Umaga Jenson would be the in form second five in New Zealand

I'm a huge rugby fan from Portugal and I do love super rugby but I just hate how everything to kiwi media has to do with the All Blacks. Super Rugby is made of 12 teams, not just the kiwi ones and yet this show acts like only the kiwi franchises exist. And that's not the only problem, the act like the franchises only exist to feed the All blacks. If you want people to watch Super Rugby, then treat it like a true competition instead of a training ground for your national team. If even the "experts" don't care about Super Rugby, why should the fans care?

Treat Super Rugby like the amazing competition that it is, talk about australian teams, comment on the games instead of who is going to be all black coach for next year and many more things you can do to improve rugby in new zealand that sadly is dying

Kirwan doesn't like blackadder because he wants akira.

[alexr]

This show needs Tony Johnson to appear more often..far more interesting and insightful show when he gives his views and analysis

[drisszyani]

Razor Will have the dream team assistants.

Both Rugby and League have never been in better situation where players can play both codes... I'm a fan for women to be involve because JK is right the women's game is different than the mens in professionalism and crowd attendance..

[fergalbannon]

Love this. It's always a great chat.
But it's serious eyes off the ball stuff. As fun as super rugby is to watch, every D coach should be sacked.

The Cheese just telling it how it is…

Billy Proctor over RTS all day

[mcconaloguecharlie]

Did Mills and JK get handed the same pants 😮

[lourow]

Sualili will be playing fullback or centres, though will probs start on the wing.

[risingsun]

What's happening w Chiefs Josh Ioane? Don't see him on the i list?

[intercept]

They say the players are worn out playing this year. Blame the COVID boosters, not the new rules.

[Samizouza]

Well they got what they wanted in terms of speeding up the game, now the teams have to manage attrition from mounting casualty wards and basically adapt to SR gone fast paced.

[PJSO]

As good as Billy Proctor and Nankeville is. They will sadly miss out because Fozzie is too staunch in his picks. Hopefully these 2 get the call up because something needs to change in that team.
