With the exception of Rogers and Thorn, all good converts have been wingers or crash ball 12s. Tom Wright plays fullback and Peter Ryan was a blindside flanker. Ryan Cross played 13. Peter Ryan played a season for the Southland Stags prior to the Brumbies. He was solid, but obviously finding his fe...

I see the Storm are weighing in on taking over the academy schools. RU must not lose this state at the grass levels. We’re in good health and the pathways are producing players. VRU's job. Unfortunately they have been embroiled the the Rebels mismanagement so cant be relied on. Even so, they still ...

Meanwhile in New South Wales……. The world’s highest paid u20 rugby player (by a country mile) is not playing in the JWC. Nosiree. On the weekend he did his hamstring playing amateur club rugby. Who is this? Max Jorgensen - 3 years for $1.6m + match payments. Dropped and played for Randwick last week.

Crikey. Look at you lot! Dusting off your lounge suits for a night out! I guess it’s like when Sinatra came to town.

Thomas has dibs on the first shout AFAIK.

As I’m town for this one I thought it was past my turn to knock up an OP. Good one. Going to the game? Also, what's your record like as a good / bad luck charm? I’m keen. I have never watched the Reds at Suncorp and only seen them lose one of the games I’ve watched game in Townsville and Perth. Pro...

Makes sense. Too early for Canham probably but he looks to have potential. Uru is mobile and does the hard yakka. He’s also solid in the lineout. Pair him with Swain and have Holloway on the pine. Rodda is the one if he can get back to peak form. Neville never lets any side down and looks in good n...

Here’s a hypothesis….. - Saffer management told this guy that he was fat and needed to be at a certain weight and bodyfat % by a certain date. - The player cuts the calories hard; however knows that such a move will strip muscle as well as fat. - Time is against him. - The player trains hard to meet...

For a Wobbly. I would agree; however he is heavier and seemingly better in the scrum then capped players, such as Lonergan and Pollard, so I could conceive him getting a cap if there are a couple of injuries. Still, I was referring to ‘pretty good’ at SR level (even if this is a thread about Wallab...

Man, The Americans drags on. Only at series 3 but it’s become repetitive and depressing. Does it pick itself up? I quit the Americans in s3. Got back into it after a while and never looked back.

John Eales was not a hard man but would be regarded as one of Australia’s best ever if not the best in the second row. There is much more to it than channeling your inner Bakkies Botha. Eales' personality wasn't hard but he played hard. He could hold his own in the physical stuff. But that's not th...

Stephen Perofeta is likely good enough to guide us to wins over most teams but to struggle against South Africa, Ireland and France. Basically the same as our 10s in the Foster era. He's a talented player and I expect the all star coaxhing team to bring the best out of him. You aren't seriously com...

Darcy Swain signed with the force next year. They are quietly building, just need props. 1. Hoopert 2. BPA 3. Robertson 4. Swain 5. Rodda 6. Harris 7. Tizzano 8. Princep 9. White 10. Donaldson 11. Kunzle 12. Pasitoa 13. Porter 13. Potter 15. Beale Added the props and fixed the midfield

I never said that! I was agreeing with you but adding that you could get a warning at 39minutes and it would lapse over the half-time break

He did, again. There is no shortage of 2m+ locks running around for Oz. A couple just need to go to the next level.

Canham’s acceleration is something else.

Tom Hooper is looking like another Hannigan, Holloway, (and to a lesser extent) Dempsey type at the moment. Not really the right shape for any specific back row role, doesn’t have the HP to play a Brad Thorn type lock role. You’d be concerned if he’s your starting 6 or 4 for the wallabies. Maybe be...
