Salami the only one with any go forward. Tate couldn't hit a barn door with his pass. HMP is a way away from winning.

That's true and I've considered it. But you may have noticed players become unavailable, like, all the fecking time! In any case I'd be OK with Gordon persisting at 10. His kicking out of hand needs certainly needs to improve but I give not fúck one about his goal kicking. Folk who think the No.10 ...

Most folk seem to think Gordon a v. good defender. He also, IMO, passes competently to left and right. And clearly he has a v. decent turn of pace. So why is no-one considering him as a prospect at 13? Because the only player in Australia who can be considered close to world class plays at 13, and ...

Not sure I have seen a fatty Bok recently... can you name one without a six pack (not of beer)? Kitshoff, Nche, Malherbe, Koch, Nyakane…. Quite a few. Pre-fatty Boks... or were they this side of the camera? https://www.stuff.co.nz/media/images/9Tzi8ywRz924XE3uHaD6DfGZQfjEdZd7oKlsiR53VLHvSZExpMzuRmK...

Gordon is bigger than Paisami.

At this stage Speed Tool in and Marky Mark out. In his defence, nothing the Tahs are doing right now looks convincing and I am sure that many of them are well below there best. Is it worth looking at shifting Lenny Ikitau in a spot? He would make a great 12. Henry was shaping up nicely as a classic...

Zakar

Given the tahs are down to their 3rd and 4th string loosehead, third and fourth string hooker, and third string tighthead, I reckon they're about to have a nightmare come scrum time. Are there really two ahead of Harry Garden-Gnome? Well no, but the bench THP is the third string. Creative accountin...

The Brumbies largely play their 6/8 opposite to what most teams do, including the Wallabies.

7 has a different role on attack too.

Anyone do some 'wide moat' investing? I've got a bit of BerkshireHathaway but worried the arse will fall out of it once Buffet kicks it. I think I'll pull the trigger on the VanEks Wide Moat ETF.

Uru and Leota were the two I was thinking of. Although Uru is in a position where we have plenty of depth. But I think big blokes with islander heritage is a pretty safe bet across all 15 positions. That's a fun wallabies XV 1. Kailea 2. Uelese 3. Talakai/Tupou 4. LSL 5. Skelton 6. Uru 7. Gamble 8....

Just as well tribunals aren’t required to consider motive You death-strike some bloke on the neck, you get 12 weeks. The end. The end result was a 16 stitch laceration in one of the most dangerous places to strike a human. Hoyles was arguing for 3weeks on between two posts. Jaezus. Frank probably p...

I did actually edit my "reserves" post to change Swain to Frost, Swain and Neville before reading your post. LSL is one of the big islander piggy reserves I had in mind, when I wrote that line as the 5th piggie reserve. :uhoh: Who are the other ‘big islanders’ that you’re considering? Uru and Leota...

Has Lomani had any form in the past with dirty grub like behaviour? None TBF - this is his first Red. I don't recall him receiving a yellow either. It was definitely deserving of red and stupid. I just have doubts he intended to elbow him in the head. He had one yellow a couple of years ago, but th...

Didn't their reserve halfback get yellow for slapping a prone waratah a few weeks back as well? Along with the headbutt teams will be targeting rarking them up if they think there's an easy card I think the Fijian media and their head coach feed the siege, everyone is out to get us mentality.

Not my idea - but someone suggested to me the following could be a pretty tasty backrow (playing in the way the Brumz backrow do) 6. Valetini 7. Wright 8. Cale 8 is your wide channel runner, 6 narrow and 7 the ruck basher. Both Wright and Cale are very good lineout options. You could even allow for ...

Zakar

I don't think Lomani intended to elbow him in the head. The connection was simply too good given how fast it happened and he wasn't really looking. It would actually be difficult to connect that well intentionally unless it was something you regularly practiced. I think he just flailed his arms dow...

Sluggy is going to blow up if he checks the rosters for the New York Jets, Manchester United or Chicago Bulls. Chicago was created by an artificial flick of the pen, another example of gerrymandering. All sports franchises in the US should be linked to the original 13 colonies, and so called Chicag...

Thats Australian rugbys problem. “They went well in a beaten pack/side”. Both Valetini and Cole are way ahead of Swinton at this stage. And there are others. Wright, Wilson etc etc I hate to disagree with you but far from being ‘Australian rugby’s problem’, it demonstrates that Australian rugby is ...

Pollard was fantastic, other than the lineout. I can't decide if that was his fault, or if it was just Holloway being the best lineout defender in the comp

Tahs (brought to you by RA) need to make a call on Coleman. Go or stay the squad should have stability. No one will do any better with this squad. Bell is a locked in wallaby, and Holloway will be in the squad. But that’s really it. Jorgensen doesn’t deserve a spot. Neither does Mungo Mark. The onl...

As I understand it then, the logic seems to be that you can’t play for a team unless you were born within the sound of the church bells in that area Since about 90% of AU professional players come from Sydney or Brisbane, then I suppose we’re going to have to revert to a pre-90s, two-team format, i...

Given that Queensland and Victroria were created by some gerrymandering flick of the pen, we should probably just have two teams, New South Wales and New Holland.
