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...

If our depth at 10 is bad then it must be f**king terrible in England if they are reaching out to Burke. Good luck to the bloke.

trapper

What a fantastic career he has had, provided two of the best WC moments for the ABs, thanks Sam.

trapper

I was thinking what a good 1-2 combination Roigard-Fakatava would make for the ABs. Bugger.

trapper

Well that’s not good.

I’m not sure I would be rushing Havili back in to the team… Midfield looked uncomplicated and direct, like it.

trapper

Nice to get on the board with a win.

Tom. Christie doing Tom Christie things…

It’s not over yet…

Johnny!

Bell is having a cracker of a game, what a try!

trapper

Has our depth at 10 ever been weaker? Damien McKenzie is our starting 10 by default, and then who? Beauden Barrett? I've been impressed with Brett Cameron this year, but he's hardly got a reputation or body of work that should fill us with confidence. Whenever I hear this mundane take that there's ...

The young Chiefs 10 looks quite good, certainly not over awed by the occasion.

trapper

That's more like it.

Johnny McNicoll needs to change to longer studs at half time.

trapper

Congrats Canes, walk away with the biscuits.

trapper

Geez, how are the Canes not leading this by 25.
Reckon the Saders will be happy with that half given they have given the Canes a lot of opportunities...

trapper

The thing that impreses me this year? 3 weeks into comp and only one undefeated team, Aussie teams no easy beats etc. Isn't this what we want? Bloody great! Too right Dan! Loving the Aussie teams stepping up, Moana look like they have improved as well. This is going to be a great season with a new ...

Going to a game in Fiji is on my bucket list, probably not a game against the Saders though, as I want to enjoy the occasion.

trapper

The Crusaders were the worst of the NZ teams over the weekend. Our error rate was appalling, and our passing lacked cohesion, the ball being passed high, low or behind the target more often than not. Our lineout was sub par and overall we lacked cohesion, particularly in attack. Our two baby halves...

Jonny McNicoll returning to the Saders for the rest of the season… Good signing given the options available. Pretty difficult to sign an internationally capped outside back mid season. The question is now where does he fit in? Signed as cover for Will Jordan so I guess 15 is his position, handy pla...

Jonny McNicoll returning to the Saders for the rest of the season…

trapper

Thanks for starting the match thread mr b. I would have done so earlier in the week but have been crazy busy. Have enjoyed been in Melbourne for the last few days, and last night was a good night at the Rugby. Probably the best crowd I've seen at Super Round, despite the top tier of the Western sid...

Bit of rain in Melbourne this morning which should clear by lunch time and a relatively cool high of 20deg. Perfect...

trapper

Yep, will be there on Saturday, looking forward to it.

trapper

I guess you can take Havili off the list as he is available this weekend…. That’s some good news at least.

trapper

Jeez, it's like we made a deal with the devil to win 7 titles in a row (cue, obvious jokes from fans of inferior franchises), now he's cashing in and karma is coming back to bite us. Absolutely cannot take a trick with injuries. So we're down to our 2nd choice midfield (Havili/Ennor being first cho...

trapper

Yeah, same, joined around 2002/3 in my 30s, I’m 60 later this year… Jesus.

trapper

Good half from the Blues in an entertaining game.

Watching Sotutu getting palmed off a couple of times is not a good look though…

trapper

Brumbies too good as expected, disappointing performance form the Rebels given their circumstances or maybe because of it, either way, they’ll need to be far, far better than that, otherwise they are gone and that is fuxking sad.

trapper

So frustrating from the Rebs, simple fundamentals just go out the door everytime they get an opportunity to score some points… fuggin hell.

trapper

That is a great try by the big #8!

trapper

That was just stupid that last penalty…

Absolutely rapid.

Harrison just claimed the catcher has to run it back after receiving a kick…

trapper

This Jack Maunder bloke needs to clear it faster…

I’m actually pretty happy with that performance, certainly not sad about what I saw tonight.

trapper

It was a loss but I’m not that disappointed, given the injury list, that was a pretty decent performance against the competition favourites.

More like the Tahs of recent years…

Yeah, probably best not to do that again…
