Say what you will about the kid, last night he was pivotal in that second half turn around for the Rebels. That ball he put Vuna though for the try was magic. I'm sure Foley and Hodgson will lay day the law and the riot act to him next week when they meet and if JOC (James O'Connor) is prepared to pull his...

I doubt very much that he will go with what's been on show over the last 3 weeks. He will want a stronger more abrasive pack that are prepared to die for the jersey and that could not only mean Shatz, but also guys like Quirk and the Madness could come into contention along with a returning...

Totally disagree. He's as big as Pearce, Maloney, Reynolds, Sandow, ,Cronk or any number of them. He's got a custom made pass for league and the extra10 off every tackle would give him miles of space to move. He positions himself deep like a league 10 as well. Would not be the slightest bit...

A different Melbourne turned up for this one. I saw the first game at Prahran and Quins dusted Melbourne in every facet. This time it was the total opposite. Melbourne ran Quins off their feet in attack, producing excellent tries across the park and suffocated them out of the game in defence...

And don't forget Timani.

Can't fault the Rebel pack tonight. Man on man pretty much outplayed their Wallaby opposites with only 35% of the pill. Dennis was the invisible man and frankly when you've got Higginbotham and Mowen why do you need him? if he is supposed to be a 6 and a back up lock then were better off with a...

I read recently that he was enjoying his time away from top tier footy and that he had established a couple of businesses up that way. But your right Bruce, a talent unfulfilled and rated super highly by everyone who came in contact with him. I sincerely hope he's on the shopping list.

Muggo was a forward for the Eels when they won three on the trot under the great Jack Gibson. Not a back. Not that it matters. Les Kiss was a Kangaroo winger and is the former defence coach and now current Ireland coach. At the Rebels Muggo does the D and that's it. Cockbain supposedly runs the...

James James, Woodward plays Fullback, fly half and wing. He played fly half through school and ended up as an FB at Wellington. To say FB is his natural position is to say that is the one he excels at. Not sure what you mean by "players train their positions". I can only assume you mean...

Personally I would start PAE over Weeks everyday. PAE goes direct and makes good gains ball in hand. Weeks falls off every second tackle. They won't chuck Reid in at 7 because they reduce the number of genuine lineout jumpers. So I reckon they will keep the pack as is. JOC (James O'Connor) must remain at 10...

Personally I'd be jumping on the blower to Scott Johnson. Plenty of international and top tier rugby success on his CV. And who in their right mind would want to spend the rest of their days freezing their arse off in Scotland coaching a side that at best will only ever come second. Keep the...

Blues, how could the rebels owe the ARU money? Mitchell's & other shareholders cash aside, The ARU funded the Rebels with direct grants and loans. They got the loans because the ARU didn't want to give them full clip of the Tv rights. Or am I wrong? As I recall that's why the preferred tenders...

There was an article in the Australian last week that pretty much laid out everything I said about Mitchell, the VRU and Fisher. The bit about the ARU taking control is purely conjecture by me. Kind of adds up tho.

Just my read on it.

And just to add a little fuel to the argument, if you look at what's happened in the last week or two off the field you can bet your bottom dollar there's big changes coming. Major shareholder Harold mitchell has gifted his shares to the VRU. If you recall, one of the major reasons that O'niel...

Davidson couldn't tackle a subway sandwich and would struggle breaking the line at a kindergarten tuck shop. Back to Sydney Uni I'm afraid. Where no doubt you will be joined by your coach and a few others from there as well. We'll keep Inman, but the rest can go home. You want a winger? Check...
