Lynagh must be sitting on the bench thinking “am I a joke?”

Yeah I remember reading that. But surely, he would have lost more than 2 kilos then. Either way, he needs to get to 135-140max. It's clearly effecting how he gets around the park, particularly his power game.

Yeah, I don't know. I also don't know how accurate his listed 148kg is.

Yeah mate that injury really took it out of him. He’s still our best scrummaging TH by a fair margin I think. But he’s gotta lose 5kg. Hopefully he can do that over the season.

He needs to get under 140kg. Weight has always been his “Achilles heel”. I reckon his form will improve when he gets it there.

Yeah binge can get stuffed now

I think it’s just how they do the rotations. Rotate from bench to starter next game. Starter has the next game off.

Will be interesting to see what happens with Kiss’ assistants. Does Zane go into head coaching role? Does he even want to? Or maybe Les juggles both roles.

They still fill it when the ABs play though. I get it it’s the All Blacks. Eden park is also shithouse to view rugby.

Jeez... that WA money for an ANZAC Day test looks pretty good now. Also, how do the Canes struggle financially, they would have to be the biggest ticket in town? Why don't crowds flock to see them?

They would still train, just different workload. And wouldn't fly with the team to train in NZ.

Surely, he could be managed by coming off the bench? Granted he could have to come on earlier than expected but seems a better balance than missing a big game. And the Reds get a bye after the Brumbies anyways if I'm not mistake.

Thanks mate.

Hmm I think we’re still a wee bit off. De Luttis is coming with a bullet but you’d still say he’s at least a year off making a debut. (Maybe give him a go against a lesser nation). The problem is, this is the lions so we need to be confident that the THP we pick can do the job otherwise it’s...

Yep, Easts Tigers. I think Jeremy Paul was too.

Yeah, Canes were running and hitting hard! Tahs copped some injuries early and it really took its toll. To me it doesn't look like the Tahs loose fwds are doing enough breakdown work. Leota and Gleeson probably need to spend more time securing the ruck than waiting for the ball in the backline...

Hook, line and sinker

Most rational view I’ve read so far!

Sling? He did a hammy

Has he got a history of not pushing against a rolling maul or is just that one time a couple of weeks ago? If that’s the case I’d take those odds that he would get into the maul. I’d also basking Williams, Uru and Skelton to swim through the middle to stop it. But this whole exercise is...
