that horrid kick aside, woodward was outstanding. he, JOC (James O'Connor), Inman and Vuna were generating quality attacking opportunities from all over the park...but particularly he and JOC (James O'Connor). if beale comes back and plays 10, suddenly we have 3 very skilled and creative attacking minds in our backline. i now...

i thought the substitutes were odd weekes was playing well and still going strong as far as i could tell. ditto neville and saffy. i would've thought maybe take saffy off for jones, but keep the pure lockes on the field as they were doing a good job phipps should be on the bench next week...

saffy was superb. back to his hard working, tackling best. devastated with woodward's kick. that was the turning point. though to be honest the game was lost in spite of that - all the penalties and the scrums! PAE struggled against crocket. phipps was patchy. woodward, kick aside, is excellent...

crusaders wings don't exactly fill me with fear. whitelock is an average winger and guildford is, in my opinion, the most overrated winger in international rugby.

Superb news. Lock stocks secured. Jones next and boom we have 2nd and back row of excellent quality KevO - ya I like sharpie. He is smart, measured, calm and knows the game. Martin is a moron. Full stop. Have not heard anyone like him

Someone who doesn't support the team can hardly lay claim to being a supporter. I hope the team takes a better attitude than some fans. Rebels by 5.

haha i was thinking actually of some of the quality afl players who are doing quite well in media now. freier aside, i am yet to see an ex wallaby be much chop in the media department. I don't mind Burke and Horan nearly as much as i detest Eyeore and Martin. Burke should stop writing (his...

i quite like him. he works pretty hard off the ball and is a powerful runner - can run it up the guts. in no order i think the true wing options are JOC (James O'Connor), Mafi, Tomane, Speight, Cummins, Vuna, shipperley (i will include folau when he commits) Mogg, and Beale as fullbacks and maybe folau...

ya i really like rasolea - quality player. if you guys can resign cummins and mafi ( i reckon you are a shoe in to resign cummins), you will suddenly have a very strong back line to go with your very strong pack. I think you guys could be quite formidable next year..and i think the Tahs are...

after 3 years of play there are some very significant social security benefits as well. i'll chat with my mate and get him to remind me. either way, israel can get the same money from the ARU and Tahs as he could in league and then he can go to japan or france and make 1.5-2m a year - with...

I think digby will 100% go where the money is. He takes care of his family and makes all their money, i understand his dad still lives in Samoa. Also - i get the distinct impression Digby is the sort of player/athlete who needs to make hay while the sun shines as I get the distinct impression...

and from a good mate who played top 14 for quite a few years - rugby players pay basically no tax in france. he was on 150,000 euros a year and he reckons he paid less than 20,000 euros in tax......and he's been back to france since!

but it's not aboute money - or he would've stayed in the afl. and if it is about the money, with the path he is on at the moment, he will be a wallaby this year and then post world cup in 2015 when he gets total international exposure he could make more money playing in france or japan than he...

he would be a great signing for us. but we would need to let beale go (and hope JOC (James O'Connor) stays). that is fine with me. on a side, whilst i think digby is a great winger, i also think he is a bit overrated (often referred to as the best winger in australia and one of the best in the world). he has no...

safe to say the rebels and force will be going hard for him. we need another winger and you guys need to replace mafi. turner available as well - so some good off season moves re vuna - that incident aside, by all accounts vuna and beale get a long very well. they often room together and hang...

well growden was right about a big name outside back wanting to move - ioane.

no way JOC (James O'Connor) doesn't start and i have no idea why anyone wants shipperly in the XV....he's the best winger in the country?? no chance. from 6 onwards i like 6 Mowan 7 Gill 8 Palu 9 Genia 10 Lealiifano 11 JOC (James O'Connor) 12 Tapuai 13 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14 Ioane 15 Mogg bench 16 hooker 17 prop 18 prop 19 Hooper 20 Higgers...

he had one more year on his AFL contract, so he walked away from a certain $1.2 or $1.5, whatever it was. he took a circa 40% pay cut to come to rugby.

where do you get vuna from?

that is very good. leaves us a solid back row of fainga, jones and higgers with Reid and saffy on the bench. i'd say fugilaster will be the loser on that signing.
