the have to re-sign douglas and williams. I thought they showed serious promise. I mean, they have to sign a bunch of players really. and a coach....

if it was NZ in a Bledisloe (in NZ) it wouldn't even get to the TMO

no, but I'm not involved in training, and neither (I don't think) is anyone else on here. What we see in games is the tip of the iceberg in terms of what goes on. Something's obviously happened in training, the coach sees something and is backing his gut/his player to execute. I guess this is...

agreed. i much prefer the waratahs nice consistent sloppyness throughout the season

I thought the tahs bench was key to the win. Will Miller with his pilfer, and HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) with the scrum dominance. That kid has a future. I also thought the brumbies looked more dangerous with Godwin on. It was also great to see pocock back to scratch straight away.

Yep

well hopes of pinching Douglas seem shot, looks like hes going to france

aside: I'm sick of that rule. Can we go back to getting a BP for 4 tries? I like the ability for teams to get a double bonus point loss, adds interest to the log

Thought the sunwolves played well to restrict the brumbies, turns out the brumbies had restricted themselves. Figured the brumbies would bounce back after a "surprise" loss, nope. So I'm...

1998, gordon v norths, and yes there were about 10,000 there.

The after party at the Gordon Club was pretty epic - I think 3 or 4 grades...

asked about Gordon's selection Gibrson said he was their #1 halfback, but Phipps was closing in on him. What was last week about then, was he injured and I missed it?

As a former bears fan I don't have much experience watching my team win at North Sydney oval

I have a suspicion that Taqele is only devastating when running close to the sideline, much like Lomu was. When he comes infield he's easier to stop, he likes being able to get slightly outside the defender and using his bulk to knock them off tackles

These last 2 games have been really entertaining.
