Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders
So Paisami or Foketi for Wallabies? Foketi is only just almost soup level. His international career is because we have been pretty thin on the ranks at 12. And Eddie liked ex-leaguies. I like Foketi and think he’s a smart player. Paisami is having a very good year and seems to be getting better, so...

Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders
The South Island teams should consider a merger. Based in Nelson. As sh*t as the Crusaders and Highlanders are this year unlike the Rebels they've both won championships and neither are $22 million in debt. :lol: salty! We’ve needed you to do your bit and become a member . Definitely got a bite.

Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders
Take the win and especially keeping them naked. Wasn’t pretty. This. Despite playing shit, and missing 2 of your top 3 players, with another going down early, still put 31 on the Highlanders and didn't allow a point. That's decent. Reds definitely showing they will be there at the pointy end of the...

Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders
Paisami's size worries me. Lolesio, Paisami, Ikitau would probably be the smallest backline ever. But Paisami has been the form 12 so far for Oz in the soups. Yet he smokes everyone and bends the line. Not sure what you’re worried about. Criticism from townie. My backline would also have Toole, Kel...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
There’s some truth in this but I think you’re being harsh. Carter Gordon, Will Harrison and even Ben Donaldson have the potential to be very good test flyhalves. Lolesio could probably do the job right now, but he has a lower ceiling. A couple of years ago we were in a much poorer place. Much bette...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
No to Wright. Can't trust him. Put Kellaway there. I used to say the same about Latho, but he came good at around the same age as Wright is. I’m been a long-time critic of Wright but he’s changed this year. He’s on nootropics or something, but he’s possibly been the best, most consistent player in ...

I don’t see why this remotely controversial. It’s almost certainly true. It may well be true for some union teams, but I don't see any reason this should be the case. These are professional players, I can't believe there's not enough time in the day for them to get their basic skills right, and sti...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Based on this weekends results, should we, instead of paying over the top amounts of money to poach mungo wingers, instead start just recruiting from the sevens team? Has there ever been a sevens player who hasn't made a top transition to 15s?

Re: SRP Rd 8 - Rebels v Highlanders
Great performance mostly from the Rebs. Lancaster will be up for higher honours sooner rather than later. Seems like a faster version of Kellaway. Not a bad call but Kellaway is probably the smartest and most reliable rugby back in the country. I wouldn't say that was a great performance. It was de...

Re: SRP Rd 8 - Rebels v Highlanders
Pass to Kemeny was fine. Gordon is so good in attack, reminds me so much of Larkham. If his kicking was half decent, he'd get a lot of test caps. I'm in team Gordan-12. No way he can play 10 with his boot. But he has all the attributes of a great 2nd 10. His brain is the problem. He does struggle a...

Great play from the Rebels. Lancaster seems like the real deal. And how does Gordan keep hitting them from the sidelines but can't from straight in front.
