It will be really interesting to see how some of these selections survive after the baptism of fire against the Keewees. I will back my picks to survive and thrive.

wamberal

Tom Wright at full back, with MK and Vunivalu on the flanks. I would not have Neville in the team, unless he shows that he can step against the Keewee teams. He has a tendency to go missing when the going gets tough.

Sir Garfield St Aubrun Sobers. Best of all time. If he had wanted to, he could have played Test cricket until the "Modern Era", whatever that is.

Narendra Modi has farked his nation up, holding huge political rallies, but some of his fellow Hindus have aided and abetted him, some of those farking religious practices are just stupid under the current environment. We should take care of our own citizens, those here, and those there, to the maxi...

Who the fark gave Dutton the imprimatur to pontificate about quarantine facilities? This prick seems to be running amok at the moment. This is on top of the "he said, she said" rape gaffe. Maybe he is starting to realise that he will never, ever, be PM.

I'm totally on the Perese for 13 bandwagon now. Some of his offloads were magnificent on the weekend - completely under control and not speculative. Think Wright is the best player to play outside him as he is very good at positioning to give himself space when he gets the ball. Petaia will be fine...

What are you actually saying? I am not actually saying anything particularly original, for a change. This is a saying that was originally attributed to Benjamin Disraeli. Take your own meaning from it.

Toomua seems to have lost a bit of his speed, or something. I would not pick him at 12.

Apparently driven by: The impact is also being felt at the community level with a 16.4% surge in player registrations from the same time in 2019. This is largely due to the greater broadcast reach as well as dedicated marketing campaigns, further Sporting Schools integrations for Rugby, an increase...

Isi looked pretty fired up from the whistle. We will miss him, for sure. When he plays well, he is the best #8 in our ranks. Actrualy no, Naisarani has been pretty inconsistent lately. How often has he played this season? I repeat: when he plays well, he is our best #8. When he doesn't play well, h...

Re-acquired mobile net connection somewhere on the road west of Tenterfield after dropping out Fri arvo. I manfully choked back my sobs and wails on learning of the Reds’ loss lest I distract Ms MungoSpouse, who was in charge of the vehicle. Turns out Bindi was right re who’d win, dammit, but not r...

Well done, Force. As a relatively neutral observer, I have to make the observation that Thorn could have picked a stronger team, and no doubt would have if that had been a must win.

wamberal

One thing for sure, the Reds simply cannot play the Feral Pests with only one lineout jumper.

What a great game between Southern Districts and Eastwood at Forshaw. Woodies lost a player to a red card in the first half, but won the game. One of the best club performances I have ever seen.

Andrew Peacock gone!!!!! Really is the closing chapter on that period of history, with Hawke already passed. At least we have ScoMo. :(( Andrew Peacock is an incredibly unfortunate name. Yeah, but he rooted Shirley McLaine. You ever cracked anything that good? And his wife left him for Robert Sangs...

I'm pretty sure that mightyreds is an Australian based poster. But for some reason he never posts on the Australian Politics threads. He only seems interested in American politics, and sharing far-right lunatic viewpoints. I am also pretty sure that he is an Aussie. He was all over the Izzy Folau c...

Great episode of Tucker Carlson, highlighting the without-values coalition of CIA-FBI-Democrats and their operating mode of 'whatever gains you want to achieve for yourself, create a lie that supports it. When you are no longer interested in achieving that end, create another story that refutes wha...

Not forgetting Mr Mediocrity, John Winston Howard.

I used to watch a lot of club rugby, he played lock for the Rats for a fair while.

Played his first Test at the age of 29.

Petaia’s main problem is that every man and his dog (plus a fair few dribblers) have anointed him as the new messiah He can never be dropped now. The pressure is enormous on the poor kid. "Every man and his dog" would be everybody, wouldn't it? Or are "dribblers" from another planet? Please explain...

All this AJ and veteran love being espoused by fuckers that don't have a clue what soldiering is like, I dislike it a lot. The AWM should stay as it is, not expanded. There is a big splash in today's Oz commemorating the coming end of the Afghanistan shambles. It features photos of our 29 fallen, o...

Do you mean Edmed?

A lot will depend on how the internal politics of it all works out. If both squads are genuinely the best available players, and the supporter base is onside, they will be a great addition. If.... That's never going to happen wamberal. The best PI players will still play in the NH because of the di...

When I lived there the big rugby event was Tupou College vs Tupou High School. Packed ground.

I am a bit worried about the style of play that Wilson is playing for the Reds...trucking it up head first into contact time after time will not work for us against the Darkness. That was his best game this year, but I agree. Against the ABs I think he should take on the wide running role that Samu...

There’s a reason why Nick Bishop is an analyst and not a national coach. I like him though. A lot of those Roarers are just empty windbags... :uhoh: As opposed to the full windbags around these parts? No names, no packdrill. Hence the 3 dot thingo and the emoticon I swear, I’m fcking wasted around ...

His father died suddenly about a year ago. How long is he entitled to grieve? He's just a kid.

We watched a bit of the Bond Uni v Norths game. Or, rather, we tried to (one of the Bond players is the son of some friends). The feed was terrible, verging on unwatchable. There will be some glitches. Let's hope they get sorted out bloody quickly. They’re leveraging Australia’s telecommunications ...

Watching the Woodies against Western Sydney. Quite a good production. Dan Parks is commentator. Replays are a bit shonky.

The rugby is okay.

My apologies to QLDers, the Hospital Cup is also being televised.

Fell asleep after half time. Was a truly shit game up to then. Haven't watched it. Life is too short. Eastwood vs the Two Blues in the SS this arvo, now that is a different ball of wax.

Ikatau has been excellent but it would be nice to have a bit more size at 13.

Hamish Stewart at 12, Paisami at 13. Petaia on the flank.
