I really don't think Frisby is up to it. Three weeks in a row and three poor performances. I thought O'Donoghue was outstanding, did all you'd want from a tight forward. Ran well, tackled well, did a shitload of grunt work. I'm very impressed by what he has shown. Simmons finally put in a...

I thought our backrow was impressive again, Gilly (apart from his kick) was amazing again. Quirky was good as well. O'Donoghue and Simmons paired well, and they both needed too. When Horwill comes back I think it will be Wallace-Harrison who drops out, and not O'Donoghue. In the backs, it was...

For Easts. (Including Quirk and Toua at this stage for end of the season, but replacement in brackets). 1- Petowa Parraka 2- Andrew Ready 3- Michael Bermingham 4- Blake Enever 5- Michael Stollberg 6- Luke Bertini (?) 7- Ed Quirk (Josh Parry) 8- Jarrad Buttler 9- Dom Fuller 10- Matt Brandon 11-...

hahaha dude almost got his head crushed!

Is Samo definatly available? If he is then Butler should rightfully give way, but if Samo is not 100% I would not risk him, as you said Butler did some good things when he was on. Showed some pace in that break down the left, and made some good runs in the tight.

I actually noticed twice that it looked like Gill was penalised, but the ref then said another players number. For example I think it was around the 50minute mark, it looked like it was Gill called for not releasing the tackler, but it was actually O'Donoghue for coming in the side. I know...

I'm really calling for Harris to get dropped for this week. He offers very little at fullback, slow and made some bad reads. His goal kicking has not been that outstanding either. Lucas or Cooper should be the starting kicker, then if they are screwing up, bring on Harris.

I think the major weakness he is elluding to is Tom Carter.

Ed Quirk, how good. That is all.

You make it sound like a forgone conclusion that the pass will result in the other team scoring. What about the other 50% chance of the Reds then scoring from that pass? I think this debate is pointless regardless.

Just a hypothetical conversation mate, relax.

Brisbane: University, Sunnybank, and then two of Brothers/Easts/GPS.

Ben Mowen is the closest at the moment to being a wallaby. Even though he doesn't play for Easts anymore, he's still a club man, always watching the team (and his brother) whenever he gets the opportunity. Before that, probably Andrew Walker and Jeremy Paul. We had Moses Rauluni play for Fiji...

Chiefs backline looks a bit thin once you get past Cruden and Kerr-Barlow. The pack is nothing to quiver about either. I know the Highlanders team hasn't been announced yet, but with a team including Woodcock, Thorn, Smith, Nonu, Gear and B.Smith, they will be pretty hard to beat, especially at...

Haven't you heard? We don't poach players, they come for the awesome culture :P

I mentioned it last season, but his gameplan is baffling sometimes as well, or more his inability to adapt the gameplan during a game. I wouldn't even say Top 4, with the team we have, fully fit, we should be making the final, or at least making the play off for the final. Sunnybank and...

The bait will not be taken this season!! It became Easts Posters vs Everyone last season, don't want that again. But I didn't know about Tuli and Sanday coming, maybe Richards realised that one of the reasons we fell off so badly last year was when Parraka and Bermingham got injured and we had...

Cannot believe that S.Fainga'a and Simmons kept their spots in the starting side. How Link doesn't see Hanson as his first choice hooker I'll never know. Fair enough promoting O'Donoghue, but it should not have been at the expense of Wallace-Harrison. I do agree with F'Sautia at 13, he looked...

One game into the season is a bit early to say he will be in the leading Aus side. McCabe and Tapuai are both very good players, but completely different. Personally I think Tapuai is an all-round better player due to his distribution and kicking game, which McCabe isn't as strong as. But I...

Mowen, Brown, Hodgson, McCalman, Shatz, Dennis. Not all to the same degree, but that description fits all of them. Hence why we have such a shortage of good international 6's and 8's. Right now only Higginbotham, Samo and Palu have that destructive ball running aspect of their game. Dennis &...
