Who was the official MoM yesterday? Does anyone know? Also from line out to backline plays I think everything will get better with more time in the saddle. 1 of the those throws was horrible from Folau but also there was a lot mistiming in the jumps as well.

Is there any mail on when the teams are meant to be announced?

Backrow should be: 6. Kemeny 7. Wilkin 8. Naisirani

Agreed. Kaitu'u and Ready have potential but the fact is that the force's set piece stats weren't great. Line outs were poor and the scrum deteriorated with the second unit. With Kaitu'u dynamic play you give up some in the line out with Ready's line out you give up around the park...he his...

I thought they said on one of the game broadcasts that Wilkin had re-signed?

Montoya is the type of player they need. He will be perfect for their front row stocks now just need another Lock and Force are in business

Cooper Whiteside would be a fantastic option

Harking back to my comments on Lawson Creighton. He played a lot of 10 at Junior levels but like JOC (James O'Connor) has played all over the backline. Controversial opinion but I actually don't think the reds require a traditional 10 for their game plan. They have been very run and gun which is what has...

I believe Lawson Creighton might be the next playmaker on deck for the reds? I know he hasn't played a lot at 10 at premier level but he has looked good there when needed. A nice 15/10 option.

It's good the Force are signing some quality players. However I am not sure if signing a plethora of backs and a backrower is the answer. As said above I think they need at least one more quality Lock and probably 2 tight heads. There isn't a lot quality there if Longbottom or Holmes go...

I think my point has been missed a little. I am not saying Tupou can't scrum...and I am not saying Sio did not get wrongfully pinged. It is called for the dark arts for the reason and the job is to push the limits of the ref's interpretation. What I am saying is that as commentators and...

Does anyone know who is reffing the game as I believe this will have an impact on the game come scrum time. I would be interested to see the stats but I think that Tupou gets the rub of the green with Berry (but i think that Tupou gets away with a fair bit at the scrum). I also believe in a...

Not sure if anyone listened to the Rugby Ruckus Podcast the other week when Ben Darwin spoke about cohesion. But essentially what i took away from it is that the Rebels constant chopping and changing during the season and roster overhauls post season are a key issue. I think the rebels have...

Swinton has an aggression and abrasiveness of someone who likes to tell you that they are abrasive. Reminds me of a young Paul Gallen. He will learn that true toughness comes from not pushing the guy who talks s*** to you but staying silent and beating them physically in the contest. A lot of...

Agree that Godwin didn't set the world on fire. But I don't think a lot of the backline did. They looked good in the first two games when it was mostly the original GRR guys playing + Lance. But after they started chopping and changing I think they lost a lot of continuity. It was evident...

l A solid and realistic forward pack. Surprised that Wagner didn't get more time as he was very impressive. (maybe he was injured?) Will say though that I hope Tizzano stays at the Tahs - at least for next year. With Hooper leaving on sabbatical you would imagine he is in the box seat...

Does anyone know if Wagner is injured? I thought he was a much better player than Heiberg in the glimpses we have seen. Also does anyone know why Pama Fou is not in the squad? Turinui talked him up on the rugby ruckus podcast but we haven't seen any of him?

Yeh I think that's right but still...he tested positive at his workplace and I know that there were repercussions and i am not advocating Slipper should have been banned for longer...But I do believe that it is a bit rich that an amateur weekend battler is banned for 2 years and a professional...

Bit silly banning a reserve grader for a few a nose beers...when james slipper was on a two strikes and could still play.

My point is that they hold some players to different standards... Ross says he is a 6 but most certainly isn’t. He is a short lock his skills as stated are not great.
