Who are these mysterious number 8s who are missing out on being developed because of Palu?

Is there someone whose name rhymes with Fainga'a?

;)

I just can't wait for the upcoming Bman v Zander showdown these comments are going to spark.........

Why wouldn't Slipper play at THP? He's played there primarily for the Reds and for the Wallabies, IIRC.

Because he will be Robbo's backup, or vice versa, at LHP. There are no other options in the squad (unless Anae can be used there - one helluva gamble imo)

Good point. Which makes it rather weird that Sio was dropped. Surely they should have taken Robinson, Sio as LHP, Slipper, Kepu, Alexander as THP.

Maybe we'll see Kepu or Alexander switch to loose head?

Both have played there plenty. It wouldn't really make any less sense than moving Slipper to LHP or Simmons to TH lock.

Anae has been playing tight head for BoP but I'm not sure how well he's been going

Likely we won't know until the 15 is released. There are a fair few permutations possible.

Connollys comment about Link being anti queensland is a bit off mark..

For me, McKenzie doesn't give a shit where a player comes from, the school he went to, the Sydney Club or Franchise he played for.

He just seems to pick those players HE wants irrespective of the above criteria, based on effort, performance and blah blah blah.

Shit the bloke came from Victora played for NSW and coached both QLD (and NSW).

Bloke's a gypsy

Yep, and it makes more sense when repeated with banjos playing in the background ;)


Looking at your avator, and your remarking on banjos in the background, I suggest it might be time to proceed to another forum e.g. Pixie World:eek:

I'm pretty dubious about the logic of not bringing Gill. We all saw what a good pilfering 7 could do to the saffers at the world cup semi. And we all saw what happened when we didn't have one. That said, Gill is no Pocock.

I just hope Mackenzie doesn't head too far up this "fight fire with fire" road.

If players came before rules, we would have had Giteau on the EOYT last year. They should kick JOC (James O'Connor) and bring in Crawford (if able) or Betham.

Does Bieber Boy get as many final warnings for behaviour as Sir Richie GOAT gets for his interpretation of the gate?
