Let's face it Lolesio is the best but he sint world class. In fact we're lauding players for simply being able to kick for touch or not drop the ball. We've really gone backwards in what we need to see in a 10.

Carter Gordon was easily the best flyhalf in Australia last year and he's not far behind this year either. Yes his kicking in general is a weakness but he's ahead in all the other areas. I'm hoping his kicking will improve with more experience. This is his 2nd full season of pro rugby. Kicking is a...

Can't believe Faf only 55 caps. He seems to have been around for ages.

Danny Ciprani? Marquee players cost massive coin in today’s market and might not offer a good ROI. I’d suggest that they need to be very, very good at marketing if they are to succeed in a city that is so saturated with sport and games locked behind a paywall that doesn’t have AFL content. Imo, Pro...

What is idiotic is trying to salvage a rugby club in administration with $22 million in debt by moving the base to bum f*ck Victoria. It's madness. The Brumbies already have major financial woes also. Can you read? The consortium will pump $30 million into the club. In return, the club does what th...

How are the Brumbies going? I still think amalgamation was the key with the Brumbies since they no longer get crowds. Half the home games in Melbourne and half the home games in Canberra would I believe see better crowds. Four pro teams is working well for Ireland. People still peddling this? Kiwis

Richmond station is a 3 minute walk away from AAMI. No shit, I used to get there by tram Sorry, you said there was no direct train station to AAMI unless I’m mistaken? Look, I’ll be happy if the Rebs are saved but there is no way I’ll be going to games on the other side of Melbourne until a train s...

The move to the suburbs is a good idea, let's face it no one actually lives near AAMI stadium plus there's no direct train station. I'd imagine a suburban ground with a train station would attract a bigger following. Plus the added bonus of the much needed cash injection. It's a no brainer. Richmon...

I loved Westerns. Clint Eastwood always put out a decent western.

Toole will be fine. He has crazy speed and is actually pretty solid in contact. He doesn’t shirk the hard work and always goes looking for the ball. Petaia is looking good again but he still spills the ball every now and then for no apparent reason. Needs to carry the pill differently. McReight a v...

CrazyIslander

Toole was on the other wing not being bullied by Grealy, and made a few great defensive plays and prevented what should’ve been a Reds try in the first half… His game has gone up a level this year. On the other hand Petaia was brilliant, Petaia gets the spot. Well, yes… these things are not mutuall...

CrazyIslander

That game last night was the type of game where he cannot be trusted, historically. He came through that with flying colours. The Brumbies back 3 was excellent last night. What exactly did Toole do that was excellent, other than be bullied by his opposite, who made buku metres all night? Wright is ...

Wine Wednesday. Even if I don't drink any other day, wine Wednesday breaks the week up a treat. I have met with my friends every Wednesday evening for a few pints down my local for 20 years. It breaks the week up, and also ensures that I keep in touch with my small circle of closest friends. We als...

Tbh I've fallen out of love with alcohol altogether probably because of the hangover which takes a couple days to get over these days. I've drunk a total of three bears since new year. I bought a box of beer for the start of super rugby, haven't touched it. I'm getting old

Fantastic episode. Loved the first episode Will came in, totally changed my view on him.

CrazyIslander

Both frustrating players. You'd always felt that they're playing within themselves. Guscott perhaps a victim of the game plan and Tuilagi if injuries. Tuilagi did destroy the ABs, but it was last game of the year and ABs are usually sloppy at that time of year. I'd have to pick Guscott coz I reckon ...

IMO Wright and Petaia last night brought hope back for the Wallabies, guys imposing themselves on the game showing they're better than the rest. You need those kinda players at test level.

Oh, stop it.

How’s Gleeson been this year?
Mediocre; although he went alright on Friday imo.

He's not good enough for the Wallabies. Can't get into the game when the team is on the back foot.

CrazyIslander

Lynagh was good but Lolesio steadied the ship, controlled the game then won it. Nailed on starter for Wallabies.

CrazyIslander

In a shit team, Joost is the best option as he could be the focus of the attack itself. If it's an above average team, then Smith is best as his passing gives everyone that extra second or two to beat defenders. FDP is somewhere between the two. Gregan and Faf combative, Gregan best tackler. Dawson,...

CrazyIslander

LRZ's strength is he's quick of the mark and a strong step. He'll be able to get separation. It's just a matter of catching the ball. His height is also an advantage.

CrazyIslander', a calls I've watched the games he isn't exceptional. He's probably the most reliable, consistent player in Wallabies backline and you think Wright is better?

Vunivalu revelation for Wallabies last year, now bench for Reds.

Lynagh has played out of his skin today but I think Lolesio has consolidated his position as the best 10.

Nah, I'd pick Kellaway before anyone else there. Wright maybe on one of the wings.
