My complaint with Super Rugby match planning is the lack of a draw that creates the habit of going to games. In the perfect world every second Saturday there would be a game in Brisbane. etc Like as a kid, it was every second Saturday there was a game at Milner and every second Sunday it was the Eels at...

there is a definite argument for a filled, loud stadium with a 20k capacity rather than 20k and say the SFS with the top tiers empty

So did Townsville pay for the number of games they are getting?

Gleeson played 40 last week, so he has been freshened up but looking at the bench it is likely we will finish with Seu at lock & Harris, Gamble & Hooper in the backrow

and a few others, Valetini is or best 6 or 8 So "if" Skelton is one of the locks then the 6/8 could be Holloway, Leota etc (or even the "Hanigan" :rolleyes: ) But if we have two skills balanced locks, we can add other skills into the backrow spot

Stats are fun, when he breaks tackles he goes long which makes his numbers more impressive, what I want to see is in those hard graft moments more leg drive, more fight to stay alive ie those carries through contact that gets us on the front foot whilst carrying units on his back Valetini is...

I am not a fan of the one ball player in the back line - it is too easy to shut down, so "if" we have 2 ball runners in the centres we either need a 9 or a 15 that can take pressure off the 10

I think Kellaway or Wright will be the 15, I would have Kellaway as he is the most likely to take the best option most of the time, he will beat defenders in contact, kick effectively or get the ball to a support runner in a better position Petaia would be Koro's back up in the squad I think...

You watch the good sides and they have good rhythm until there is an opportunity and then everyone reacts and the gears get switched up

They were one paced for the whole game, that pace just go slower as the game went on

I though Gleeson was quite impressive, he needs to lose the red lid (he was well targeted and stood out), that first run he was just smashed and he just got up and went again If only we had urgency to get there and support the guy

Well that was horrible The Tahs just look clueless, the attack coach needs to go, they are so lazy in attack, no inside lines, just continuous attempts of moving the ball wider to crash ball - often from a standing start Nowhere during that game was there an expectation they were going to...

More evidence waratahs media is a sheltered workshop someone needs to teach them to format and add a few hard returns https://nsw.rugby/news/team-news-wallabies-return-for-waratahs-culture-round-clash-with-highlanders-2023426 This is the "team" for tonight

Two centres and a 9 on the bench So who on that bench is Donaldson cover? Hooper?

err Why?

well. my guess was right

And now every NRL player who has seen a rugby match is in RA's sights

Jones has talked about developing a senior decision making groups He said that with HIH, yellow cards etc they (England at the time) had to adjust and adapt quickly to changes in what was out there. I expect a leadership group as even White ain't going to be out there for every minute

No system is perfect so they have a process for those who slip through 20 years ago Swinton's thuggery would have been celebrated, but now there are too many cameras to make it viable
