Manly were easily the better team in a pretty entertaining first half, it was try for try with Manly getting penalty try for obstruction and then James Kane going in the bin for the same not much later. Manly had the better of the line out and the restarts. Uni just went on with it in the...

Phipps over Gordon is somewhat interesting after Jake bagged 2 tries last week.

Yeah I was at the game and I'm not sure where Uni's attack has gone in recent weeks; they were pretty dominant in the first half but were somewhat lucky to go into half time up two tries. I think their backs are going to sleep with their preference to scrum which is a shame as players like...

I've been thinking about the same thing since Saturday's game. For the most part we're doing OK at set pieces we just lack results around the park; we're not clearing out properly or protecting the half-back and we're certainly not bending or breaking the line. I don't think it's an attitude...

I don't mind this, both Newsome & Clark seem to have grown as the season has gone on.

Sorry the forwards were definitely outstanding which can’t be said about my ability to recall names. The front row has stood up really well considering we’ve lost the entire front row since the grand final.

I’d say typical crowd size; definitely not as many as round 1. I was down on the 22 and the Rats seemed to have a lot of trouble with their lineout calls; they were in a good position a few times in the first half only to lose their own throw. After going down two tries inside the first 5-6...

10. Foley 11. Newsome 12. Hunt 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Clark 15. Beale (and hope he finds some form)

The Beaties forwards dominated the breakdown from where I was sitting. I do think Mason deserves some credit for some of the clever kick-passes to his wingers which I think accounted for a try on either side of the field.

Questions for me are: How match ready are the Wallabies? How do they line up in the backs. Has Gibson forgiven Latu? Who's the first choice 9 I'm looking forward to the game (if only to get Brookvale over and done with for the season)

I've been dabbling with it a bit over summer with the Cricket and my experience has been mixed. Their Apple TV app is pretty solid but I've found Chrome-casting to my main TV to be a bit flaky - still their price is good enough for me to stick with it. I'm hoping they add App Support to...

I assume all members are in the same boat as me and have been told that we'll not receive our members packs before Game 1 and would receive and email with print-at-home tickets for Brookvale so assume they're still trying to work out things like seating :)

The battle for the 9 jersey will be really interesting to watch this year. I think both players are off contract at the end of the season and on last years form (especially early on) you'd have to thing that Gordon is probably the guy you'd want to lock in 2020 onwards. The World Cup squad...

Completely agree, Latu is certainly not the messiah but I think he's got more upside than the others and can keep the aggression under-control. Shame we let Taf go overseas as his leadership and lack of self preservation would have been handy.

Well said; I've been thinking about this since I saw Gits & Drew Mitchell's tweets on Fan's Vs Supporters over the weekend; if anyone's to blame it's the Coaches for their (lack of) recruiting in the offseason. Most people on this forum would have seen the same gaps specifically around the...

I think it will be Hegarty for reasons listed above but I'd personally I'd love to see Barnes back for a final time. He was always a solid player who gave his all; not the flashiest compared to others but with a bunch of young backs could be a good asset off the pitch.

I'm somewhat new here but I have to commend both the the ARU on the access they've given to people such as Brett McKay from the Roar and GAGR so far this year; having moved overseas before the start of this years tournament I'm reliant on both sites to know what's happening in the NRC. From...

Sorry if I've missed it somewhere else but does anyone know where's Matt Lucas going? (mentioned in that article) I was a fan of his from the few opportunities he got with the Tahs and he always seemed a good leader in that Manly side.

Fiji have played well so far and I think this could be there chance with the injuries and emotion from Saturday's game there is a risk Wales may have 'played their final'. My bold/stupid call/one-eyed prediction - close game to the the 60 minute mark with Wales coming home in the end. Wales by...

Echos my view; good balance of experience and some new names to blood in the RC and see if they can perform at test level ahead of the RWC.
