Waratahs V Reds July 13 2013

[rugbysmartarse]

Izzy himself tweeted he was out 2-3 weeks. I doubt he will play.

What has drew done?

a big send off game: Mitchell, Barnes, Timani x 2, Ulugia, Kingston, Hart and Carter. Plus those undecided (like Izzy)

Drew did an ankle (not the dodgy one) playing for Randwick in the mud a couple of weeks ago. Still in a boot.

cripes that a lot of talent leaving. We'll need a replacement hooker who is pretty much a front line one as TPN wont play much - any idea what hookers we have coming on board and please dont tell me Holmes... Fitzpatrick is too small as well. Where is Kingston going? Also Hart?

 

[Lindommer]

Saders play the Canes in Christchurch on Friday night, they'd have to be about $7.00 to win that one. If the Reds lose they'll more than likely be heading to Canberra rather than over the Tasman. Mind you, if things go really skew-whiff and the Bulls also lose while the Ponies and Tribe win the Reds will be catching a plane to Pretoria. Yeek!

The Reds'll be up for this one. They'll want to prove to all and sundry Link's a decent coach while at the same time get into a winning mindset.

thanks (felt wrong to "like" your reply)

Kingston is going to the Rebels, along with L Timani - Hart is going to England (not sure which club)

 

[Pfitzy]

Fitzpatrick is too small as well.

Based on what?

New scrum laws are the unknown factor, but size of frame is not nearly as important as size of ticker

It will be interesting to see what backline we play this Saturday given Folau is out.

Barnes, Carter and Kingston are all leaving so it would be nice to have them in the side. Carter and Barnes particularly given they've been around for a long while.

I imagine none of the test players will really want a rest unless they are forced.

I'd start Carter at 12, Barnes at 15 and either have Kingston on the wing or bench.

If you were trying to give the players leaving a go to varying degrees you could have something like:

Robbo
Ulugia
Kepu
Douglas
Timani
Dennis/L Timani
Hooper
Palu/Dennis
McKibbin
Foley
Betham
Carter
AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)
Kingston
Barnes

Ryan
Fitzpatrick/Holmes
Skelton
L Timani/McCutcheon
Hart
Crawford
Horne

 

[Bessa]

Surely Horne will be @ 12....
Don't give Carter another cap just because he is leaving. I paid good money for a ticket to watch the best Tah's team take the field every single time. Carter certainly shouldn't be picked because he isn't going to be there next year.

 

[Braveheart81]

Last time I saw Tom Carter play he scored two tries and was about our best player prior to being replaced.

I'd like to see him run around one last time.

I paid good money for a ticket too.

 

[scaraby]

interesting teams but aren't we without AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Palu as well?..hearing The Fluffy Koalas are without Genia and Horwell...anybody confirm?

 

[Scoey]

Yeah mate, Sanchez and Horwill out. Digby still out also. It may be close to the team that took on the Lions actually!

As Captain or not, somehow I think there'll be an extra spring in QC (Quade Cooper)'s step on Saturday night.

 

[scaraby]

i know alot of the stars are out so disappointing in that regard but gee could be a ferocious game with players leaving and young guys getting a shot. .....Especially with so many Tah spots up for grabs.
Foley v Cooper will be fun to watch..expect Quade to have a big one with plenty of motivation for him now....
Nice duck on the "Fluffy Koala" dig Scoey..was trying to get some interstate rivalry going.

Palu was questionable but I haven't heard anything about AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) not being right.

You reckon "Coach Bazza" may have a little word along the lines...
"Listen Q.C. I backed you ,you better show everybody why!!!"

Shoulder and Knee from Lions..thought he might be rested

Truth be told it's been a long day, I'm tired and I really couldn't come up with anything clever. I saw what you were trying to do and I did appreciate the effort though!

EDIT: I did that wrong. Fluffy Koalas? Are you drunk? I would be if I were a Tahs fan. Came so close yet again eh? Always the brides maid, never the bride. Wait. What? Does that make us the bride? Fuck. I'm confused. I told you I was tired. Ummmm...... BOOO TAHS!
