Im not convinced Doran watches rugby in 2025

It will definitely be something they adjust week to week. Last night they obviously made a decision to take time and space away from the big centres that killed us in the round game (along with Naholo who was injured last night). I think they had less influence last night. As you say McKenzie...

Looks like they are employing higher linespeed and deliberately leaving space at the edges, as the Kiwis have done to us for years, trusting themselves to cover if they are good enough to get around us. Pretty viable when Ikitau is the one making the key decisions, he cuts off a lot of...

It was a good win, but settle

That's a pretty good win, not really a bad performance out there though the lineout wobbles are a worry. Aside from the usual suspects I thought Lonergan and Noah were exceptional. Noah in particular will get minimal love on here but if Donaldson or Lynagh produced that game in a semi vs a kiwi...

Absolute belter of a day here. Wouldn't totally rule out snow tonight.

BR I actually agree with a lot of your takes, and we're both on the same team, but it does detract from your credibility when you advocate so hard for a Brumby like Cale when unfortunately a lot of blokes have jumped the queue while he's been injured. While I don't think theyr're seriously in...

Suallii might have to play inside and outside centre if Ikitau's no good, plenty of room for him and Wright

Probably saved them from losing more money to be honest. Crowd was embarrassing again tonight.

Any word from the commentary in the brums game about Ikitau's injury? Did not look good live.

Geez I was preparing a smug post about Noahs excellent game until that last 5 minutes happened

Do you reckon they need to get Meredith on per chance?

Brums need to adjust to the step up in level after 3 wins vs Aus teams. Attack actually pretty sharp but Crusaders get on the ball if they get even the smallest look at it. Some ropeyness from Wright and ugly d from Frost has cost them but theyre in it if they score first. Officiating seems...

If Will Harris has busted Bell's knee there he should be burned at the stake

He has been ok for the Brums year but in a limited role that suits him. Len does all ballplaying in the centres and looks like he doesn't trust Feliuai in d at all. Feliuai has put a few good shots on but he's missed a lot cold as well. I very much doubt he's in the mix. Len shuffling in 1 with...
