General observation, it seems that there is a lot of senior/more experienced players lobbing into the NRC this season, is it beginning to get reco, and take hold?
You'd hope so, probably not being a world cup year as well helps. I'm pleased to see a couple of the Wallaby squad members being released to NRC teams this weekend - I see that Skelton is playing for the Rams and Slipper for Qld Country (along with Simmons). There's a few others who would probably benefit from playing some matches but it would be difficult for the NRC teams to get continuity if they kept getting players dropped in on them.
Reg, do you know why Jake Strachan isn't in the City squad this week? I thought he looked pretty good last week (and think he was the guy for Sunnybank I saw playing against Easts this season who I was impressed with), I understand bringing McIntyre back but thought Strachan would be on the bench at least.
