Re: Chiefs are playing someone this evening
Piss poor defence. Weird selections. Overly complex lineout calls Poor coaching basically. Doesn’t explain shit like gamble failing to do his job. I’d also love to see the stats on Jed’s tackles and rucks tonight. I reckon they’re f**ked. Gamble should be nowhere near the team We’ve got local star ...

Hannigan isn't fast enough for 8, keeps getting burned in the outside channels.

Re: The best 5 players in the world right now
Based in current form, I'd think McKenzie has a strong argument.

Re: SRP R10 Crusaders v Rebels
I wondered how much today's news would affect the Rebels. Didn't take long to find out. I'm wondering if the Rebels should be permitted to play another game. What guarantee is there that the players and staff will be paid, their PAYG income tax will be paid, etc etc? RA is paying the players and co...

Re: SRP R10 Crusaders v Rebels
Rebels scrum has been good until today. First game without LSL. Don't think that's a coincidence. Crusaders have been poor but their scrum has still been dominant rather than good. I thought the Rebels starting scrum looked pretty ropey all season to be honest. Then you haven't seen many stats.

Re: The best 5 players in the world right now
That's a separate but excellent discussion.
I think DuPont could play any position in the backline to an international standard.

Hannigan's off to France. Losing a lot of backrowers - Kemeny, Swinton, Hannigan so far. Is that confirmed? Heard it was on a knife edge. Looks like it...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
:thumbup: Frizell plays ‘heavy’ though. If that’s even a thing So does Savea. The only soft cock in that backrow is soak tackle Papalii. Papali'i has is 5th equal for dominant tackles in Super Rugby from all players. Sure thing bud. He's the most overrated ABs backrower in two decades.

Says he weighs 105kg. Think he only needs an extra 5kg if that's the case. AB's went deep into the RWC last year with Frizell as their heaviest loose forward at 110kg. :thumbup: Frizell plays ‘heavy’ though. If that’s even a thing So does Savea.

Charlie Cale Bench Josh Kemeny Valetini has the lowest tackle percentage and the most missed tackles of any Australian loose forward so far this season. That's a ...

Re: The NRL catch-all thread
Ok, pubs are open. But my point still stands, this is innovative by the NRL to schedule a three match series of this public holiday. In contrast, there is no Super Rugby being played. NSW laws are a lot more flexible about today. After Good Friday and Christmas Day, ANZAC day is a nightmare in QLD....

Genuinely, the administrators should be pretty independent. If they think moving out of the DOCA and back to the directors is a good plan, there is obviously meat to the bones of the offer. However, what's in it for the PE that's funding it? Obviously they want the stadium built and they need anothe...

Interesting comments from Matt To’omua. Apparently Cale finished the game v Blues playing 12.
