no, you did not. you wrote (sic) that McMinimum was "massively hyped". "massively" and "over" do not necessarily mean the same, do they" IMO, bloke was massively over hyped. covered?

argue it with Sir Lee Grant. when you reach agreement, let us know. i am sure we are all breathless for your decision. btw, "TGC" has been taken up on another large rugby web site. i and afaik Lee Grant, don't post there

hey, hey i started calling him "The Great Cheik". the grand Lee Grant abbreviated that to TGC. you calling LG and me delusional, Punk? BTW, FYI the man's family name is Cheika that's CHEIKA C-H-E-I-K-A do we have to send a few truckloads of language teachers down the Hume as a technical...

can you please show me the bolded bit, if any, on this thread? thanks.

how many Anker brothers are there?

while you two try to work out who is who and who thinks what about whom, let me just say: 1. i haven't seen anything of Arnold. 2. i think Staniforth had a terrific Soup debut against Horwill and Simmons and has a big future - a Wallaby future. now, may i ask, please: 1. does Arnold, INYEO...

agreed. i was highly impressed. he really did take the fight to Horwill and Simmons and was the "lock of the day". future gold wearer for certain, given good management and coaching and barring injury. boy can play.

Rory Arnold, that's the bloke. how does he go?

the first 40 minutes of his debut were just terrific. he took on Horwill and Simmons and kept them very busy indeed.

the Canal5 callers and commentators called Mr Hooper beautifully. in French, "oo-purr" is a great sound. that is far better than the kiwi and Saffa callers and commentators describing Stephen Moo-Ah

that is precisely why i used the expression "the Hillary Step" above. that's the last, hard part to making it to test class.

what's the name of the Brumby bloke who went to RSA, got 12,000 months for biting and then won an appeal? i think he's back at the Brumbies. can he play?

a strong expression that many posters to GAGR have very little understanding of professional rugby, have not seen the game or are voting on geographic lines. damages the credibility of the ratings greatly. i suppose there is also the possibility of many "rankers" having a laugh or, far worse...

is that the Kurtley who's been appointed ARU t-shirt manager?

remember when the Tahs went to NZ this year and beat the living daylights out of the Chiefs who have two promising young locks? that day, Douglas put in the best performance by an Australian lock for years. wandered around the field bashing blokes and then fronted up for the set pieces. that...

yes. he has come a very long way. i am not sure of his trajectory but see him as being close to real test class, with some hope of making it. however, he'd have to take the Hillary Step (so to speak) very soon. the "Eales trajectory" is very rare. funnily enough there are a few from the Eales...

i have repeatedly, over many years and in many forums, made the point that most 190+ cm second row and back row blokes take quite a while for their bodies to mature and let them deliver serious muscle and mongrel [**]. Douglas is right on the cusp of transitting to top quality lock as he has...

you couldn't ever say or write: "he put in a very median performance" for "he was shit", could you? doesn't run at all, does it? "he put in a modal performance" has some promise?

that's a pretty average retort (should i add a smiley?)

1. McCalman 2. Foley 3. Hooper (oo-purr on Canal5) HMs: Kepu, Horney, Little Finger
