Saw the corresponding game live last year, it was a good ‘un - very much reminded me of the good old days before the NRL turned to crap. Ruan Sims hits harder than her brothers (I know she’s not playing next week, just making the point there will be big hits in the women’s game too), and there’s a lot less structure and legitimised cheating (obstructions, blockers protecting catchers, the ground and pound BJJ routine after every tackle etc), and a lot more variation in attack. Reminded me a lot of ‘90s footy, TBH.

Keep an eye out for 4. Isabelle Kelly - good athlete (and sort). Wonder if any relation to Brian..

 

[mozgrame]

Qld are basically playing the Australian side. In saying that...GO Chelsea Baker! Chelsea is from Gladstone and all good things come out of there!! lol

Butch is excited, but realistic. It'd be a miracle for the Qld squad to get a win, IMO.

Actually, when Butch (Hetherington) was announced as coach, I asked him if he needed any assistans to help rub the girls down before and after the game. He told he could get me plane tickets to Perth. I asked him if they were playing in Perth and he said, "Nah...but that's where you have to go to get in line for that job". Haha!

I don't think she is any relation to Brian but I believe her brother Dylan has just returned to Manly to play for Blacktown.

What’s the BJ routine if it’s not a rude question.

Lol, you missed the second J there! BJJ = Brazilian jiu jitsu. It seems to be the martial art/wrestling field that most of the NRL teams train in.

‘Ground and pound’ is what the BJJ/MMA (mixed martial arts) fighters call the bit where they get their opponent on the ground, straddle them and belt them with punches, elbows, whatever to get them to tap out.

Oh thanks for that Yoka. Thought I had been redirected to a porn site for a moment.

 

[globaleagle]

Why would anyone only bring their BJJ to a gun fight?

Sims dominates these games - put her in a Qld jersey and they probably get the win.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

In womens’ rugby league, I always bet against the heterosexual team.

 

[manlyfan76]

I'd DCE playing?



See what I did there. .

It's a huge loss for NSW and I think QLD a probably chance than most are suggesting this year.

Looking forward to it. Was impressed by the power, pace and skill of the sheila’s WC.
