I don't think his opinion counts for anything tbh, his opinion is no more valid than someone on here.

Purely stirring up things before the WCC.

Second class is a bit OTT but he has a point that we are way off where we would want to be.

We are not second class, the NRL is better but that is hardly breaking news is it.

Like I said earlier, he is just trying to stir things up ahead of the WCC.

You are having a laugh aren't you, the aussie comp and the national team are streets ahead of this country like it or not. So yes second class i say isn't far wrong

Get real mate, we'll light years behind not just the aussies but the Kiwi's. At club level if you took out all the overseas players our game is well and truly second class.

As for international level we were closer to the aussies when we were a part time sport FFS.

Totally agree and listening to Eddie on Boots 'N' All trying to defend the SL was cringeworthy! Has he forgotten the WC already?

But then we will win the WCC which the aussies never take seriously and be dis-illusioned that we are the best again!

Coverage means they are interested i guess, doesnt really mean our sport is competetive though.
