Urgh I am so sick of Palu's injuries. The poor bloke is made of glass.

Reckon he needs to see a new physio. Maybe worth bringing Dan Palmer back from Grenoble?

Is he studying physiotherapy?

He could be the best player turned physio since Marty Roebuck!

Not too sure about that, he could go down the Cameron Lillicrap path of averageness.

But don't we need a stronger tighthead anyway, so maybe we can lure Dan Palmer back from Grenoble?

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) made a nice break on the weekend with Cummins on his outside but he fired the final pass way to early before drawing in the fullback. Consequently Cummins was pulled down just before the line. Luckily we scored a few phases after. So whilst I agree he is a capable passer and a team player, I would definitely not call AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) a good distributor of the ball. This is why I prefer AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) on the wing.

Are you talking about just before the Michalak offside-but-not incident?

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) could have handed the ball off two steps later to draw the fullback, but the French 14 was already right on top of the play and was part of the tackle that brought down Cummins just short.

But feel free to shape history as you see it.

Good looking Wallaby team. We have some real depth in the outside backs. If the rumours are true that Izzy is being lured to France. We can't go into a auction with these privately owned clubs over there, with their seemingly unlimited budget, particularly on the back of their new tv deal.

Let Izzy go. And Alofa Alofa. And Rocket Davies. We have outside backs to spare. Luke Morahan is a test player. Dom Shipperely is a test player. Rob Horne is a test player. Henry Speight will be a test player. CFS is a test player Tom English has plenty of potential. So does Chris Kurindrani. So does Jaydn Hayward. So does Tom Kingston.

Let the outside backs go and don't go throwing bucket loads of money at them. We need to get more quality in the pack. Specifically in the tight five. More so up front. Especially at THP. We need Dan Palmer back. Anyone know what he's doing?

Clearly you haven't read the Australian Rugby Player Buyer's Guide (First Edition 1996), which states that backs are stars and need a minimum of $500K per annum, while tight forwards are happy to play just for the odd bit of steak and petrol money.

Its recommended by the ARU.

On a serious note: this has always been the problem with rugby in this nation. Backs who score flashy tries are promoted. Forwards who butt heads like highland rams get nothing.
