Agree 100% But unfortunately there are few alternatives in the forwards that will make a difference. It's just shuffling the existing cards to a more balanced lineup. There's only so many ways you can say the forwards need to man up. At least there are alternative options in the backs which...

Pulver: Get Suzie to plant some bugs in the ABs room or we'll get done by 40. Cheika: All good boss Pulver: Not that type of bug you halfwit. Now we're toast Cheika: Sorry boss. It's all good though - we've got the pooper Pulver: How much am I paying you again? Cheika: Too much. Pulver: At...

Reece Hodge played fullback prior to joining the rebels right? Tall, agile, athletic, safe under the high ball with a good boot. It seems to me that so many of our incumbents are lacking a key skill in their position description. Are we selecting the right players in the right positions?

That's what Mick Byrnes there for It will be interesting to see what impact he has - it's too soon to tell. But unfortunately as far as some of our incumbents go I'm not sure even Mick can polish a turd.

Thanks mate Probably a touch sensitive on my part as well. A shellacking plus a bazillion beers never does wonders for ones sense of humour.

But you can't beat the ABs, or stay off the he bottom of TRC ladder with one try and two line breaks per game. I had no issue with his selection but after last night I think it's time for a shakeup. I was also against folau at 13 but he needs more ball. I'd go for Kerevi/ Folau at 12/13 for next...

The problem is they are both 7s and playing them both is hurting us. It is unfortunate that two of our best forwards play the same position but we just can't keep shoehorning them into the team at the expense of other facets of our game.

Positives from tonight: 1. Surely that's the end of the Pooper - it's a dead horse 2. Kerevi will feature next game 3. ??????

Try reading my posts from after the team was selected "champ" It went exactly as I predicted it would.

I doubt there's much of use for gambling from a listening device - legal or illegal. Rugby isn't the game for that. It could also be NZ media - they actually give a shit about rugby over there and dedicate more than an article or two buried in the back half of the paper. I can't see an Aussie...

I'd be interested to know exactly where it was. It could just as easily be NZ journos- rugby is their no 1 sport and their players have a much higher profile. The Oz paparazzi would have much bigger targets in other sports if they were going to risk breaking the law for a scoop.

Part of the problem is our poor discipline in our half and poor kicking and exit strategies. We invariably have to score more tries than our opposition as we generally give away more 3 pointers (which has become our most reliable exit strategy) and miss more of our shots at goal. Sort out those...

See my post above

Why? It wouldn't change the veracity of his statement.

We're just trying to make you feel sorry for us.

Maybe he just watches their games closer as they're in his team and can see through some of the hyperbole A bit like reds fans not buying into the Simmons is a powder puff in contact rhetoric I personally think kerevi Is unlucky but I'm not too bothered by kuridrani keeping his spot as he is a...

I don't think there's any one player whose selection is controversial. It's just the balance once again is off. If you play the pooper you need a frontline jumper at 6. Yet we have McCalman. If McCalman has trained his way into the side he should be at 8 in which case pocock is our best 7 and...

I'm having trouble keeping the faith We've been caught out with early lock injuries three times recently yet we don't have a true reserve lock on the bench We've been shown up in lineouts when we haven't had three true jumpers and we've gone in with 2 and an occasional jumper.

That could be interesting. I'd rather see phipps with foley or genia with cooper. Not just because of history and combinations. QC (Quade Cooper) and Phipps have tendency towards flakey shit at times - not sure they go well together. If cooper cops a Phipps shocker in his 22 God knows what could happen.

HaHaHa I find your choice of words in a post like that somewhat ironic. Carry on..
