Nup that was all too late. Buns doesn't look for the ball, has no awareness of Halfpenny. It's just poor all round and he got his just...

Pretty easy really you either jump to contest or wait for the guy to hit the ground. It ain't hard...

Barnes played quite well but he wasn't amazing by any stretch. The problems you point to above involves BB heavily. Genia waits as nothing is ready, Barnes did not alter tactics due to rush defense (no second man plays at all) and no creativity. Ah that comes from your major playmaker - guess...

Agreed, Sharpe is one of the first picked for mine. Simmons on the other hand and why is there no specialist lock on the bench? Deans is a selection numpty

40 man squads mean jack shit really. I am more concerned about what Deans will do once we settle into the 2nd Wales Test. From here it should be the best 15 he can pick. The 1st 2 tests may have some more odd than normal selections due to the schedule. Some very hard luck stories and some...

A "Melbourne" backline of CL, Taps, Johannsen and Digby aint bad. Can we have those guys we developed back please?

TPN is vastly over rated. Lacks work rate of any sort, is a liability for his own team with his questionable tackling technique and simply isnt as good as Moore. Impact? Id argue Moore is just as good a ball runner, does it more often and doesnt spend half the match on the ground knocked out or...

Kafer has it right with the Tahs. Almost every time they get into a winning position (and last night they were there again) they choke up. Their second half performances are just full of fear of losing. For all the possession they had they just do not do enough with the ball on attack. The...

"I don't like the in-game shuffling of positions in defence." Finally some one said it. Woeful tactics from the NSW coaches. Having Carter defending one in from touch was a disaster. The Tahs backs played a drift defence all day and got smoked all day. There was not one occasion where a player...

I agree with that, very logical and a wise move.

Yes sad to see an exciting young bloke who can pass, tackle and kick burst onto the scene and have a 9th forward who cant pass leave our shores... what a state of affairs :)

Genia and White, then daylight though McKibbin played well yesterday.

Press conference at 11 to confirm Genia is stayig at the Reds. A bizarre weekend... Perhaps Pococks bemused response was one of disappointment that the rumour had been leaked before he had actually signed?

The CBA has not been signed off on so at the moment there will be no salary cap increase IMO. If thats the case it weakens the Force position if that had factored this in. They cant afford to pay 25% plus of the cap to two players. The press conference will be fascinating...

Geez lots of love for Mitchell on here. He may well work hard and have heart but stiff shit. The guy isnt up to it. Can barely beat a tackle and consistently defends 15-20m in from touch and then has his opposite winger score in the corner with him making a despereate attempt to tackle. Off to...

My take on the trouble spots - Horwill and Sharpe (if he is indeed available). The rest are pretty even. Jones looks the "toughest" of the rest and his work rate is massive. Pyle is still like a 2yo colt. Needs to mature a bit. Douglas I havent seen enough of. 6/8 is Higgers and again its a...

The Lions atually played well in the last 20, they kept the ball alive and offloaded alot to get in behind the Brumbies. They were awful in the first half. The tactics were crap also. Mitchell just doesnt seem to cut it as a coach these days.

Simmons must have given away at least 4 pens... learn boy, learn.

Yes but his defensive positioning was horrendous...

Thats pretty selective stats you are using there! Dismissing matches where we had 3 tries scored against us? We only let NZ score one but gave away a stack of penalties because we were screwed when they ran at us. Not counting Wales, didnt fit your argument? Ireland conceded less tries than we...
