Brumbies v Waratahs Rnd 5 2014

[Braveheart81]

I'm glad to actually Palu doing something this year - had to be one of the most overrated forwards last year- especially in the Wallabies games

All his teammates must have been wrong.

You get some strange quotes on the internet, but this one is close to the strangest. Palu was just a few points away from winning the John Eales medal last year and he only played internationals up till June, after which he was in rehab. So last year he played about half the games and almost won. As BH said, its obvious his fellow players didn't think he was overrated!

I think ther will be fire works. I'm also guessing Bernie wont release teh Brumbies team until late thursday??? for a little gamesmenship.

Leo could be back

What's the status of Tomane, Lilo, Rattles And Fotu? Any word on a replacement for the young bloke with a clot? Name escapes me . We seem to have a big shortage on back rowers and are not as strong as last year with Palmer,Kimlin,Finger and Smith gone.

We really need to put in a first class kicking game and pressure the tahs lineout to have a chance

Can we have a moratorium on "Palu is overrated"?

I'm happy to trade for "Quade chokes," "Mogg can't tackle," "Foley sucks," and whatever it is people are bitching out the Rebels for these days.

Mowens a dobber

Folau can't kick?
Quade can't tackle?
Alexander can't scrum?

Bloody hell fellas, we might as well shut the forum down if we're going to put the kibosh on all of the above.

We should have fines system. Whereby whenever anyone resorts to using any of the top 10 GAGR sayings (ie: Quade can't defend) they dob themselves in and earn a strike. At the end of the season everyone total's their strikes and donates the equivalent of 1 strike = $1 to GAGR (or maybe some charitable cause, ie: Melbourne Rebels).

Tomane a chance to play.

No chance on the others.

Ita Vaea is the bloke you're thinking of and no word on any replacements, yet.

There is some random stat that says TPN hasnt played more then 40 mins against the brumbies before going off hurt... its hard to throw straight when you see 3 different lineout

More humility from Chieka

"They're (the Brumbies) the best team in Australia, they made the final last year and it's up to us to take on the best and try to compete with them."
Cheika played down his side's chances despite the buzz generated by their try-scoring exploits this season.
"I'm not trying to ham it up, [the underdog tag] is there by right," he said.
"As I've said before ... we've done nothing, we've had a couple of good games where there were a lot of faults in those games and they've both been at home.

First thing the Tahs need to do is treat the leadup better than they did last year. All they did once they eventually got to the stadium was stand around in a circle basically singing Kumbaya and not practice and plays or anything like that and the result showed accordingly.

All the noise, so far, is coming from the Waratahs so I don't know if it's deliberate ploy to get in the first barb but like MattyK said, it's very non poker face.

I think the bye came at the worst time for the Waratahs and will be interesting to see if they can maintain the momentum from before the bye.

The Brumbies needed the Hurricanes match to play into some form. Irrespective of how poor the Hurricanes were, it was an indication that things are getting back on track.

I still think the Brumbies bench isn't as good as it could be and if it comes down to that I think the Waratahs have the advantage.

Like what mate? All I have read is that the Tahs were smashed there last season

Any thoughts on kurindrani this season ?
