I guess that means that from now on if a player gets 2yellows during the early part of the season he will purposely cop another in order to get a clean slate and be right for the finals
Even guys like Leber,and again no disrespect...what position is he earmarked for. He has played 13 for much of the season and found it difficult. If as a loosie, then how is his form gauged in that he hasn't played there consistently.
Hmmm...and we used to be critical of Brad Harris but at least his sides were in the top 2.
Lets go through the Vikings:
Andrew Robinson- A standout...well deserved
Ben Hyne- No problem here
Darcy Swain- dito
Dean Oakman-Hunt- Played mainly 2nds while should have been in 1st grade. Obviously...
Pretty spot on Macka. I got to watch Colts and 2nds also for the 1st time this year. What wasn't mentioned was that Gungahlin used a pretty significant wind in the 1st half which appeared to largely die off at the change. Their scrum absolutely dominated and considering 2/3 of Tuggers front row...
Yeah Istanbul, finals are are a different beast. From memory however, Royals brumbies seemed to have a way bigger influence than Tuggers brumbies when they met 1st up. Not that I've seen a lot of games this year, but Royals seem to have an overall consistency and confidence that the Vikings...
yeah I agree that both the heavyweights look a little more vulnerable...but I think they will still have to much class.
Tuggers by 12-15
Royals by 15-20
Uni by 25-30
Interesting battle for 3rd and 4th. Whites have Easts, bye and Wests. Gungahlin and Wests however, have a tough road playing...
Tough game to try and dissect at Erindale. Didnt believe that Tuggers would be as passive this time round which was the case, and they came out strong early. There were alot of mistakes particularly from the Vikings, but some good periods of play from both teams. Overall, I thought that Royals...
Yeah....thanks macka. Waiting on No8's report as well.
Personally I havent seen a game in ages. Made the mistake of going to a couple of test matchs. Man, you think the wobblies are woeful when watching them on TV, they aint much better live. Think from now on I will stick to watching JID...more...
There appears to be no stampede out as yet, but have heard that Royals have indeed lost Johnson, Cusack, staniforth, Muirhead and Sione to those overseas games. For that reason, I will jump on the Wests bandwagon today...Wests by 6.
There was only the 1 point between them last time. However...
Despite not having been to a game in a couple of weeks, will continue to have a stab at this w'ends results;
A closer scoreline but no cookie for Easts...Wests by 15-20
Royals to continue to hone their attacking skills. Royals by 35-40
Based on No 8's news re: the Whites and some further...
