Was at Wests today and was some really poor form by Souths players in 1st grade. Awesome to get the win and a well earned one too but giving the middle finger and telling people to go f*** themselves is really poor taste. Left me feeling disappointed after watching a good game.

Same thing happens in Canberra?

Word from Brisbane is that both Carter and Mason Gordon have both definitely signed for the Rebels. Both will be involved in preseason and then it is a matter of selection for Carter with Mason most likely to return to Brisbane to play his club football and develop.

When does the team actually get announced?

Would love to see the likes of Cooper Whiteside, Isaac Henry be brought in for development down the line and Creighton as a more short term 1-2 year option

Ilasa went back to Fiji and couldn't come back until recently

Positional stability is pretty important and in the past picking the best back players hasn't worked for us compared to picking the best in that position wrt players around them. Don't play JOC (James O'Connor) at 15. Don't play To'omua at 10. Don't play DHP on the wing. For mine it's got to be: 10. JOC (James O'Connor) 11...

That really sucks re Lachy Connors. Was killing it and was well on the way to getting involved in a Reds squad. Hopefully he comes back as good as ever because he is a great player with a big future.

Sorovi could make a dramatic difference for Wests. The 9 has been solid but bringing in Sorovi could elevate them

Alex Sa'aga has been killing it in Brisbane

He doesn't want anything to do with the Rebels either unfortunately

Having worked with Ben, this probably wouldn't create great cohesion. What will help, and this was the sentiment of Kafer's article the other day, is picking guys who have played together across the park. I was suprised how many interactions a fullback has with their front row but this all...

This is 100% I have watched a lot of schoolboy rugby in the last 3-4 years and he is as good as anyone. Hopefully given a development contract and time - big future

Dave Horwitz is getting a big wrap from the Rugby Ruckus crew for his development - could he be an option to bolster the playmaking ranks in 2021?

This is the best thing I've seen ever. I would say it's becoming harder and harder to teach good scrum technique for front rowers with the stigma around being a front-rower, particularly in the ages 10-20. Players would much rather be a B grade back-rower than an A grade prop and it's becoming...

As I said, both clear yellows

Yeah they were - one clear and obvious head butt (foul play) and 2 pretty clear yellows from the churchie #7. I do feel for him in that he was about to drop him safely, but when the tackle assist enters the tackle, the onus is on the original tackler to leave the ball carrier in a safe position.

school

probably the safe pair of hands I ever played with! Don't get the name buckets for nothing
