I don't think any (well very few anyway) Tahs fans are getting too carried away, however after last year's debacle three from three to start the season is a nice change. Force have had a good start, but you can't blame the ref with that scoreline.

That team probably as good as it could be, although Reilly probably unlucky to miss a starting spot. After watching the trials I thought Ropati might have been a good shout to join O'Donnell in the centres with both Foketi and JAS out. Amatosero needs some time to have a good hard think on his...

Agree with much of the above. The backs really aren't looking like any sort of attacking threat, Edmed is solid but doesn't look like creating anything, and the centres run hard and tackle well but don't ever really threaten. The closest thing to an attacking threat on the weekend was O'Donell...

Three players for the Tahs have really started this season well, Bell, Gleeson and Jorgensen. Most others have been good in patches, dissappointing in other. If the Tahs are going to go top six, the big team issues are breakdown and handling. Positionally, the bench front row and lock are...

Good to get a win but it was pretty uninspiring. We were really lazy at the breakdown, a lot of kicking that didn't really seem to have a purpose to it, and periods of just not thinking. I've seen some criticism of Gleeson here, but I thought he was one our our best. Bell was an absolute...

Exactly the side you would expect, and I would suggest the best we can field right now. Possibly a couple of surprises on the bench, with Lambert preferred over Kailea, Grant over Wison and Bowen over Creighton, but I wouldn't say they were undeserved. The Tahs really need to get this done if...

An objective look at this Tahs side would suggest they have a strong starting front row, but it weakens at THP when TT goes off, a below par second row and a pretty good backrow. In the backs I would suggest halves and centres are sound but no more, back three (assuming JAS is 15) are very strong.

Yes, the Tahs picked up some Wallabies from the Rebels, but was it any more than they lost. I'm thinking of HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes), Holloway, Hanigan, Swinton, Perese and Pietsch, throw in a couple who hadn't made the Wallabies (yet anyway) like Holtz and Harrison, I would suggest we're not far above square...

I've seen very little hype coming from Tahs supporters, hope maybe, but the hype all seems to come from other franchise supporters. I would obviously love to see them do well, but like Ghost I think mid table would be a big step forward. I am curious to see who starts in the 2nd row, I guess...

Whitaker had a pretty indifferent time with the Tahs as attack coach, however it's always hard to know if you're not immediately involved how much of that can be put down to Whitaker and how much goes back to Coleman. I think being an assistant coach with a specific function is quite different...

Tahs initially were completely dominant, 40 - 0 at oranges, then lost discipline and started giving away penalties plus a couple of yellow cards, second half (without a lot of the starters) was pretty untidy. Most of the starters were fine, front row dominated, Ben Grant very good at the...

These guys are certainly talking the talk, and I fully support everything they are saying. The tough bit, of course, is walking the walk, that will be the real test. I have no idea whether they can do it, but I am behind them all the way, and if they can do it Australian Rugby will owe a big...

I think Amatosero will likely be a lock, alongside either Lee-Warner or Sinclair or Angelo Smith. I think Smith definitely has the most upside, however a youngster like Amatosero might benefit from the experience of someone like Lee-Warner

Campo was the most talented attacking Australian winger I have ever seen, however that was about it. I was behind the goal-line at a test in Sydney (took a mob of juniors down) and Taine Randall was storming at the tryline with only Campo to beat. Wasn't a problem, Campo actually took a step the...

You'd almost be dissapointed if you weren't a vice-captain! ;)
