Pfitzy, post #1176 is pretty much on the money. Couple of things I would change is give Arnold his shot off the bench over Skelton. I say this because I want to see him tested before we go into the Bledisloe's. The other change would be Giteau out for To'omua in a direct swap. That extra...

Fair comment but the other part is that McCalman has a rep for not taking his good super form to test level. He is an outstanding workhorse at both levels but doesn't take his physical impact to test level. Higgers should go. Both he and Hooper in the same back row create an imbalance and it...

Great to see the Wallaby captain go the full distance. More of that please.

Not worth it. Arnold to get his shot on the Bench next week. Time to start playing with proper locks. Those with size fetishes should stick to Ron Jeremy videos.

Pocock on, intensity lifts. Surprise, surprise.

Skelton adding nothing, very slow and stuff all breakdown work. Hook him. We need some actual breakdown presence. Time for Pocock. Yank the crab and lets see Cooper and To'omua again.

Reds will do alright out of the Neville signing. I see a good combination with Simmons on the horizon.

I see both sides of the coin. I understand some having blind faith out of pride and I understand the cynical pissed off consumer that has had a gut full of this pathetic soap opera (which I think all Reds fans are). Regardless how you look at it, well all love our team and the Reds need to get...

I am no fan of the Giteau selection but from a sheer rugby perspective, I am curious to see how he goes with his inside and outside man. The one on the inside has great peripheral vision and a brilliant pass off both sides and the one on the outside is a brutal direct runner with a power game...

Horwill is insurance for Skelton. He has the form but Kev has the experience and I dare say that is what Cheika is thinking. He is also their to control the lineout if Simmons goes down. What I want is for Skelton to go the full 80. He has done a bloody great job at getting thorough a full...

I would like to see both play a half each. Don't care who starts.

Rebels have got to do what they have got to do and I respect that. I wish they could find another lock and play Tamani at 8. From a Wallaby POV he could be what we need into the future.

How do you propose to test this? Playing the season of Super Rugby has them all playing off the same base. Carving up in a lesser comp doesn't really satisfy what should be the test of proving their value.

George Smith put the best part of a Super Rugby season into the Brumbies before getting that Wallaby jersey remember. My view on the Mumm selection would be very different if the path was the same. I said Dennis wasn't starting material so have no idea about your jumper comment. I agree...

A bullshit article to be honest. It mentions Snowden and Katter having the most expensive phone bills. Two of the most remote electorates in Australia and how much of that bill was down to the use of sat phones? How much more of the article is lacking context?

I look forward to seeing the Badger in a side who appreciates backline play.

Yes, I stand by reasoning for why Mumm shouldn't be there. It's Rocky Elsom all over again. I was against that for the same reason. I'm happy to agree to disagree on that front because I am firm on my view. I think you are a bit wrong to bundle Horwill into either of those two groups. He...

For me that game reminded me of the beauty of rugby and just forget the bullshit that happens in the administration sphere.

I understand Crotty. He is one of those solid and reliable type players. In that style, I think Buckman is unlucky. I thought he could of been a great bench player as he is apt in many back line positions.

What's his name? PM me if you want but we have quite a few former players in SE QLD.
