Thats what I'm talking about !!! I knew this would set you off RH. Looking forward to more comments from you.

I agree. I backed the Force last week by 10 because of the forwards. The brumbies pack is manning up. I'll tip the brumbies this week because of the forwards. I would be interested in any comments on the impact Palmer is having at the Brumbies. He is always written off as a pot plant. In...

The broadcasters must be pretty crapped off with the ARU. From what i can gather big JON leads the charge in the meetings with the broadcasters, getting increased sponsorship from them. Meanwhile he's asked the Kiwi's and saffers to compromise their Curry Cup and the ITM in order to get the big...

Looking at the unavailable players for the Reds, I think they miss Digby and Harris the most. Harris for points and Diggers for lots of things (speed, defense, X factor, work off the ball, he has leadership).

I'll tip the Hhighlanders. Same reasons as Hawko and Querty. If it was in Melbourne, I'd be less certain. Both these teams enjoy good home support.

I've put my tips in for next round. Force to beat the reds by <10. Reds on the road with too many injuries. Reds look better in a head to head assesment on paper. But the Force forwards will dominate set piece and broken play enough to give their reasonable backs a go. MOM will come from the...

The worst thing Carter did was to call McKibbon for the kick and then fall over in the chase for the loose ball. Not good enough to end up out of the play when it had specifically been set up for him. My opinion is that his collision with the reds player was avoidable. Furthermore, if he...

He called the lay-off a ''blessing in disguise'' and said he would return to the field a more ''complete player''. ''I want to be a better player throughout, not just be the same player that's there before,'' Cooper said. ''I'm not taking six to nine months off for no reason so, in that time, I...

Tahs forwards to dominate. Tahs by 12

Good win to the reds away plus a likely 5 points from this weekend puts them in good shape. I find Mackenzies approach to the favourites tag interesting. Rather than try and go into the games as the underdog he seems to be inviting the favourites tag. Genia has also been in the press with the...

Bugger me Lee. Was the moon landing a hoax?

getting a bit boring now guys.

From 5 - 10 I played League for a school team in a small country farming community. The school I went to only had 25 kids in primary. Then I went to boarding school in Toowoomba and they played union, so that is where I got my introduction. Senior school was playing all union - boarding school...

My view is that Moore brings stability in the scrums and the results are less resets, penalties, collapses. This is only my observation and am happy to be contradicted if I have got it wrong.

Moore is a better scrummager then TPN which is enough reason for me to favour him on the selection sheet. Moore is also the incumbent and would need to seriously lose form to lose the first picked status. TPN has heavier impact in the ball carry and in defense than Moore but not by much. Set...

Imagine the crazy, distorted conversations between PDV and Robbie Deans. That would be comedy gold.

There's been some good video analysis on this site to support your comment as well.

I agree with this. France had a wonderful set piece and very nearly stole the WC. It reminds me of the State of Origin where NSW unveils a new secret weapon every season but they get destroyed by QLD who simply pick the players to do the job they are first and foremost required to do...

With Quade on the sideline for the next 6 months we have a different scenario developing in our 10/12/13 lineup. Life outside quade has been like living in a shadow, the attacking focus tended to be either inside balls to 11 / 14 / 15 or to the forwards. Alternatively he used his big and...

Keep these types of posts coming. I have more or less tuned out of the RWC but hearing and reading about some of the tension from the Kiwi and French supporters is reminding me that todays game is definitely worth a look.
