I don't like the way that the Rams have disregarded politics and just picked the best players available to them. I want to see only Souths, Two Blues, Pirates and Emus players dammit. I don't care if they're inferior to players who would otherwise miss out. This competition isn't about playing the best players, it's about club politics dammit.

That's a strong Rams front row up against a rookie Vikings set. Interested to see if Barry keeps up his good form at this level, and just how good is Perrett. Played the GF on one leg and never stopped.

It could well be murder on the wing if Taquele is up against Robbie Coleman although it seems they might both play left wing. Don't know how big Taueki is but he will certainly have his hands full trying to stop Taquele. On last weeks showing I don't like Niumata's chances against the big bloke if he gets on.

Looking for the Vikings to keep the ball in hand this week instead of continually kicking it away on first or second phase, but think they'll find the Rams too hard to beat at home.

Steve Mafi needs a better game and hopefully Alcock plays this time.. Tough on Jai Ayoub, the rest of the team let him down with their handling. Need to get Taqele involved more, he has obvious weaknesses but can't ignore his wrecking ball ability on the wing.

Soooooo you want to see the Rams get humped every single week?

Now, they didn't put on a great show last week against the Eagles but I put that mostly down to Swanepoel (can go back to Manly AFAIC) and Ayoub (can't jack it with the big boys).

All Brumbies back row. Nice to see you're taking the underdog tag early.

It will be a heavy track due to all the rain and forwards need to front up this week.

Teams backs need to stop kicking it away and give Taqele some sympathetic passes on first phase

The 9 & 10 were both crap last week,but not as bad as Ben V & Chisholm.
Yet both Ben V & Chisholm have bigger roles this week.
If the Vikings can isolate Chisholm in D,100 is not out of the question.

They were a complete rabble in the conditions, if it's wet again they will found out again.

If you go too far West of Anzac Parade, you may run into some monstrous fire breathing dragons that can swallow your car whole.

Take your camera, you may get to take a shot of the edge of the world.:) It's apparently not too far from the 'Riff, just not too sure which side.

Ben V played 15 in defense/counter for Souths, with Chisholm as well, it will be interesting to see how they set up in defense

Apparently the solution to all our depth problems in the centres.
