Good thanks. Few new challenges placed in front of me (reading and writing, for example) but full steam ahead and all that.

Meh. Reading and writing are over rated, unless it's reading the form guide and filling in a TAB ticket.

That's the only reason I needed to learn...

Players are allowed to play for a country that they qualify via the grandparent rule. E.g the Monaghan brothers are eligible for Scotland etc... Also if you have played international league before, like the Vagana case you can play for a different country if you havent played for another during the qualifying process. As Australia, NZ and England automatically qualified their players who dont picked can basically play for anyone they are eligible for. I think even Peter Wallace can play for Scotland and not harm his future NSW and Australian chances. Jarryd Hayne is another, even though he played for Aus in the centernary test, in the off chance he isnt our squad he can turn out for Samoa or Tonga, (not sure which one).

I believe Jarryd Hayne is elegible for Fiji.

I don't usually post here. Warriors are getting it together arn't they. Probably too little too late.

DWTA, I think they can make the 8.

Its them or the Panthers for 8th spot imo.

Panthers do have a hard draw though, they have to play

• Manly x2
• Melbourne
• Canberra in Canberra
• Warriors in NZ

Doubt they can win those games to make the 8. We thought they were certs, but apparently not.

Never thought they were certs. In fact I've been tipping Newcastle as the outsider to join Canberra in the eight and am sticking to it.

 

[Simon]

Warriors have a very good chance but their differential is a worry, even though they are even on points they will have to win an extra game than the others around them.
