Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
After seven years of test match and Super Rugby…. Uelese’s lineout throwing isn’t going to improve. As for Gibbon - I thought he was unlucky to cop that penalty early in the game, but then he dominated his opponent… he’s definitely in consideration. He dominated, eh? I know how this place goes - I ...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Some random hot takes from the weekend: - Gibbon isn’t the guy. He struggled at times in the set-piece. - Uelese’s throw is fine until it’s not, and then it descends to a goat-fcuk - Oz teams across the board are the fittest they’ve ever been. It’s a great sign imo. - Harry Wilson needs to get bett...

Re: Bondi Junction Shooting
This is very sad, but it would have been significantly more-so if it wasn’t for Australia’s gun laws. Big call. I’m old enough to remember when used semi-automatic or bolt action rifles were on sale for less than a week’s pay in army surplus stores, with sod-all questions asked. Yet the murder rate...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Not sure what it adds to the conversation. But I also don’t believe it. Why would a league club be better than rep grade union. Sounds like BS. Well, if you read the replies we were discussing how good it is that players have come from sevens where there is a focus on skills. And then the discussio...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
There’s nothing wrong with Junior Rugby in Australia. The problem is the intermediary step between school/rep/academy footy and Super Rugby. Which is why sevens player look comparatively developed at entry to this level. To Thomas story above, We keep getting told the best players in league are goi...

Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle
La Rochelle fatties walking in midfield already. This bodes well for Leinster if they can keep the ball alive. How is Atonio a pro player he’s a complete joke Torq was right Skelton has also reverted to his fat pre-Sarries condition. He looks hefty and slow. Is this the first time you’ve seen Skelt...

Re: Waratahs vs Crusaders Match Thread
How does that work as he kicked it when the clock was red? Because according to the ref, it wasn't red. Bloody homer ref! 👍 I am quite sure he knows the laws better than I do. Surely the ball would only be dead once the conversion happens or not? So if he kicked it at 80:01 then you would have to a...

Re: SRP Rd 8 - Rebels v Highlanders
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 decent with plenty of mistakes. I think they would have easily lost against top teams but the signs are encouraging. I want y them to improve their d...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
The Oz teams seem fitter this year. It’s probably the first time in 20 years when the kiwis didn’t seem noticeably fitter.
That’s a good sign.

Re: SRP Rd 8 - Rebels v Highlanders
Barrett-esque pickup at ankle height then hits the afterburners. Class. Yeah. That’s just elite. Some guys could make that catch but likely not erupt with such speed. Some can take a more standard intercept and hit the gas. Not many can do both so seamlessly. In the 80th minute….. BB is ridiculousl...

Rebels get another win. If they keep going like this it might end up forcing RA to make a very expensive decision.

Re: SRP Rd 8 - Rebels v Highlanders
Ball went forward as he placed it before picking it up didn't it? How did they miss that? The place the ball and then pick it up again is always a bit of a mystery to me. It's basically a knock on, but if you do it with intent then it's allowed. And he seemed purposeful, so try!!! It the ball doesn...
