I see good things in Jones. He has enough speed to keep up in a game, he looks for work and he works hard. Also, he made mistakes early on in the Irish game but seemed to correct himself. His 2nd half was bettert than his 1st.

Who's got a comment on how Jones handled the 2nd row. I haven't seen the game due to CH10 being muppets.

I suspect that he and Carter did achieve a combined 85m / minute for the full 80 minutes. Problem was that Carter played about 70 minutes. Also the Paddies did a good job of slowing the game with fake injuries. On the Irish game thread, Forcefan did some good analysis of ruck involvements per 10...

He makes the others around him look good. Beale in S15 was sublime in his first year at 12. Phipps having his best year ever. 1 try on the weekend and 2 try assists.

I'll drink to that !!

If Cooper returns to the form shown on last EOYT then he's in with a shake. I hope he does. I also hope we see Pocock and Moore regain their former glory. Injuries change players abilities. I did like Cooper's grubber and chase that ended up with the Irish #9 in Disneyland.

Hey QLDers. What was the last game that QC (Quade Cooper) really dominated in? Then have a look at Foley through the finals of the S15. QC (Quade Cooper) was excellent on the last EOYT. Since then he has not done enough to displace a player who is in top form ATM. Is it because he was in a team that didn't make the S15...

And Higgers.

And Pocock and Moore and MMM and and and....

I'd have stuck with Jones. But I'll try not to bang on about it. Lets hope some of the banana benders take heed and don't bang on about Cooper too much.

when's the team announced?

I like this analysis Forcefan so I have gone back to dig it out. One thing I noticed on this is the combined total for the loose head lock position. If you were to total the involvements of Carter and Skelton, then you get 40 rucks, with 35 early and 34 with impact. This is heavy involvement on...

Every time I turn up to this thread, I seem to have to excuse myself and go and get a beer! Could get messy by Saturday...

Think this game will be won up front. Seems most posters want to keep the same pack as last week. Most comments are on who plays where in the backline. Are we rearranging deckchairs?

Lets not be precious. Mr Doug has addressed this when a breast feeding mother took him to task. My take on it is that he was being slightly tounge in cheek due to the excitement of an upcoming game. Also, he's old enough that he probably doesn't realise that his VCR will record the game so...

Agree with all of these assessments. I thought the comments on Foley were particularly appropriate.

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) might be needed in the centres next week.

My MOM was the starting hooker for the paddies.

KB (Kurtley Beale)'s final cleanout was pissweak
