Righto...continuing on with my terribly inaccurate JID tips; Royals v Whites . Potentially a really good game depending on how close the Whites have come from their woeful start to the season.Are they near their best? Even if they are, I dont know if that will be good enough to stop a hot...

I do agree that the heritage round is tokenistic and alot more could be done to unite the ACT rugby community. However, I dont have as long a history in JID as yourself and others Istanbul. I try not to buy into the politics of it all and just want to see Rugby thrive. I will get along to watch...

Righto, my fearless predictions for JID this round; It would take a brave man to pick against the Royals and that aint me. I dont believe the Eagles will be as meek as the Vikings were in that 1st 40 last week. Possibly also, Royals wont be as psyched up for this one. Still, Royals by 30...

Maybe Uni's early effort against Tuggers was a once off...I hope not. Has their scrum improved at all?

Yeah...it was only last week that we were all very hesitant to suggest that the Whites would be there. Does this mean that they have dug themselves out of their early season hole?

The easts saga is both sad and frustrating. They started the season with seemingly a lot of improvement and a bit of possibility. Even the hammering they took at the hands of royals, while not good,when taken in the context of what royals are doing to the rest of the comp, is not the end of the...

Close to the best 40 minutes of rugby I've seen. Could not fault 1 royals player and most were mightily impressive. The vikes simply looked shellshocked. While they had little ball in the 1st half, when they did they could do nothing with it. The whole royals side appears choke full of...

The whites surely can't lose this one but eastsmight fancy their chances. Would actually be a good game to watch but I have to go with the whites by 15 - 20. Am also going with uni in a close one with their scrum being now perfected. Uni by 2 Am hanging to see this one...thought about the...

Yeah...I'll have a chat with him about keeping me updated when he comes over for dinner next

Or in fact No8 could be my Mum.

On the subject of form...young Izzy Titor has been the 13 for Vikings from the seasons start. Has anyone formed an opinion of him at this stage. Obviously Sampson views him as long-term. Ive seen him a few times and he certainly hasnt done anything wrong. I dont think Ive heard his name...

Dean Oakman-Hunt will probably slip in for Hyne while the Vikings new signing Durrough will go to 10. I assume Tuggers got him as a long-term replacement for Thompson. I hear he got some time against Easts last week...any reports on how he went

Noticed "the Stripper"was absent from last weeks stampede. Does anyone know if he's injured, or has he left to join Royals as No 8 suggested.

He played ok in a couple of early games with Tuggers. It was noticable however, that he pretty much demanded the ball on every occasion and this seemed to put some of the younger players under a bit of pressure. ...forcing them to pass to him when it really wasn't on and then berating them when...

I've only seen them once against tuggers where the scrum went ok, but yeah, i had forgot that their poor scrum had been touched on here in this thread. How then did it rate against the Whites?

Maybe you could offer them a lift to training to make sure they get there

Nice to hear you got along macka...dont expect your bub to understand the intricacies of the breakdown quite yet...may have to wait towards the finals. Was wondering what effect the brumbies had on Easts. Tuggers had the same 3 brumbies when they met in Rd.1 I believe, and had much the same...

yeah, funny...but a bit harsh. No 8 didn't really obsess on the twins. Beside its not really stalking behavior until hes actually sprung inside their house

We've all done it slim

have now seen all JID teams play this year and while early days, here are my final standings; Royals ...based on a better points scoring Vikings Owls ...based on their win yesterday and the way they stood up to Tuggers Wests...thinking yesterday was an off day against a very good side Eagles...
