I don't agree with this. It provides a very clear pathway with checks and balances along the way which is what australian rugby currently lacks. Perform at club level you make the academy. Perform in the academy games and you make the super rugby squad. I would make it so the academy comp...

Taikato-Simpson has played some QLD city-country games and the reds have had a look at him, but I think the consensus is that he's a bit to weak in defence. There is another Winger from brother called Felsman who would have been in the reds eps except he missed all 2012 with injury. He would be...

Rebels should have started with Saffy as well, the bloke tackles everything that moves.

Would have started Ryan and Ulugia. Kepu and TPN need some motivation. Also would have persisted with Timani. If he and Douglas are going to be tests players they need to learn to make a lineout work and not hide behind the excuse that they are the grunt lock and not the main jumper.

MMM turned down a reds contract to play for the force. If simmons leaves he will slot right in. Will be a good signing too with AWH getting towards the end.

I liked Emuarse's team above although there is probably an argument for giving Butler another run off the bench as he did pretty well in his little cameo last week I thought. Reds need to step it up this week. Time for the Lucas-Cooper and Frisby-Cooper Combos to gel.

I think that colts should move to U20's, and also that all the grade clubs should have a lightweight team whereby all the players have to be 80Kg or under (maybe 85kg or under?). There are a massive amount of guys who come out of school and want to play club rugby but are either not there...

Bit of a waste really. I wonder if the rebels even made him an offer.

Barnes should play Fullback, and Mitchell should stay on the wing.

Will be the rebels surely.

I'd rather they take 30 seconds to a minute to review the odd decision than have tries scored off forward passes and offsides and not be able to do anything about it.

There is a difference between signing guys like Harris and Mathewson who are quality players as opposed to guys like Christie, Hart and Fuglistaller who are not really up to the standard and just there to make up the numbers.

Congrats to the kings, especially the young winger on debut who had a game he will never forget. A few notes on the force: - The kicking both in general play and for goal was shocking. - The lineouts were shocking, both Charles and Wykes showed why they should never be wallabies. - The force...

I know the season has just started but friday nights game really showed up the lack of depth the rebels have. Beale and JOC (James O'Connor) are left to do everything in attack and as such they are targetted heavily by the opposition. Hence why they get injured so often. Looking at the rebels squad going...

To all those decrying the standard of the game - the conditions tonight were very, very hot and slippery - not at all ideal for rugby. For Queensland I thought Quirk and Gill really stood up tonight. As did Diggers and Shipperly. For NSW Mitchell showed his quality.

If you have a national club comp, the clubs involved need to qualify each year otherwise you will kill off all the clubs that are not involved. So with that in mind I'd have the top 4 clubs from Brisbane and the top 4 from sydney each year.

I think they start jones because he is better in the scrum than neville, but if they had a better front row this is the formation I'd go with.

It was very hot and muggy in the middle of the day, but its cooled down a bit now. Expect the rain to hold off but it will be very slippery.

I think this is rubbish. Beale was the rebels best player in the first half, and he was pretty clearly injured early in the second half - yet he stayed on the field and kept making tackles and running the attack. I'm not the guys biggest fan by any stretch but to describe his efforts last night...

I reckon white made far less mistakes and got caught out far less than phipps. Neither controls a game anywhere near as well as Genia but.
