Uelese needs pull his head out of his back side and toughen up. BPA looked good last night

Rennie can bring back 2 dudes from overseas.

I need to confess with Mad Men.... I loved every episode, but often I didn’t understand what happened. It was subtle - often too subtle for me. So after each episode I used to read the synopsis on The Guardian website, whereby I would learn what actually just happened in the show I liked. The under...

I think the Rock is on the gear. I want someone to try and tell me that Richie McCaw was. Challenge accepted. that Richie McCaw was.

Ripping game that. Best Aus derby I've seen in a while. More like that please :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Australian rugby would have few problems if all games were if this standard.

You reckon he’s slowed down in those last few weeks?

Strange how a high scoring game like tonight was a judged a better game than last night which was the opposite. Oz sides have had weak defences in recent times. Last night would probably have been high scoring if Force took any of the points they were offered. Dumbest play since the Reds 2 weeks ag...

I’m just mightily relieved we’ve got MOG here to point these things out. I’ve been casually going about my life for years completely unaware that I was surrounded my roid munching machine heads on the verge of murderous rage fests. Now I know and I’m so much safer for it.

Look at the state of this place. What have you done to my excellent thread.

Once again this joint makes me appreciate how the professor must have felt on Gilligan’s Island.

I do that with Clogs. Just scroll right on past his waffle. He’s the Hilda Ogden of the bored.

I blocked Clogs in 2009 and never looked back.

Confirmed: Valetini Wilson Samu (bench) White JOC Paisami Locks and front row depth not looking good. Wtf? 1. Slipper, Elof, Sio, Hoopert 2. Uelese, BPA, Kaitu’u/Mafi, Latu 3. Tupou, AAA.....

There being "no evidence" and you not seeing or not accepting it--perhaps willfully--are different things. I see evidence of some doping going on. I don't see any evidence of most to all professional athletes doping as you and some others claim. And going back to the original topic, I don't see any...

Power to weight.

Check out track cycling sprinters if you want to see bulk.

Well said. I could have just said this for the OP and saved my cramping thumbs. My wife thought I had constipation I was in there that long.

towny

Traditionally though haven't Australia picked crap kickers, by international standard? So the lower chance of them actually taking the points surely factors in, compared to having a Wilkinson. Does Australian rugby emphasize kicking enough to be able to reliably take the points? I think Oz kickers ...

I don’t think there’s any need to comment. It’s straight forward - maybe just make this thread a sticky? 1. Eloff - one of my favourites and imo the most improved player in the country. Beast of a man who seemed to be everywhere. 2. Kaitu’u - can play! Huge work rate and does the hard stuff really w...

Reds beat the Brumbies in a cracker today. The defence from both sides was excellent - yet the score was 40-38. Reds captain, JOC, continued to take the 3 points on offer and I’m stoked it worked in the end, tand not just because I wanted thr Reds to win. Australians are the literally the biggest ga...

Because the rewards are so much higher.

What have I based an opinion on regarding a lack of evidence? You claim that doping is everywhere. Hardly, its everywhere.

Reds gameplan relies on forward domination. Only happened when the Bumbs front row went to pieces. Not sure they’ll make that mistake again LSL and bogan-boy were quiet Nonetheless, these two team will 100% be in the GF Brumbies’ locks clearly better today.

Excuse me?! You didn’t like the winning try?! How about when he ripped the ball before the siren to get the turnover?

What a game! That was the best game of club footy I’ve seen in a long time. Both teams awesome. Ref was outstanding.

He thinks he’s playing school. Not every carry can be a try score.

Unless you’re Pete GOD Samu, of course

JP needs to let it flow, get a rhythm, like Barry White or Tom Jones

He needs the ball. Has he touched it since the 2nd minute?

We don’t know what it is, but we know Stewart does something important for the Reds.

Under UN rules...You’re allowed to swap him in.

He should be banned tbf.

Darcy Swain doesn’t get much attention. They’re saying his name now - he does a lot of good work and his rapid for a big man.
