The game would not have been so close if Wests had not scored a try off a pass that I will swear to my dying day was forward. That was worth two competition points to them. That could prove interesting at the end of the year.

I thought Peter Francis was the key to Horan, Little etc going to South when he coached the Australian Under 17 side in NZ that included them - and I thought Gary Bird was the Souths coach at the time.

I can remember, a long time ago, playing fourth grade against a GPS team that had eight or nine players who had played for Queensland. They were finished with serious rugby, and just wanted a run. Mind you, some of them had played for Queensland when Queensland were not very good.

The worst gambling addicts in the country are the state governments. They can't survive without poker machine revenue.

Let's just thank Joe for the wonderful job he has done, wish his family well, and hope we can get somebody nearly as good to replace him.

Asiata can be an emergency prop if necessary - he played there a bit at Easts with Andrew Ready hooking.

Stephen Moore came back to win a premiership with UniQ, and Ben Mowen did the same at Easts - two more ex-Test captains.

Who do we have to kill to get McKenzie back?

I still say JS at inside centre. Itikau has proved that he can play outside centre very well, and I like the idea of getting JAS closer to the ball, with the opportunity to back up as play moves along.

I'd still prefer Sua'ali at inside centre.

I'd have him at inside centre right now.

I greatly admire Kellaway for a lot of reasons - but I still think he is not fast enough.

Didn't Tom Lynagh's father play at inside centre on a Grand Slam tour, even though he was (and is) regarded as a true five-eighth?

He did get burned for pace for one of those SA tries.

I thought it was an absolute rule- Colts could not be used in lower grades.
