Harris was pretty dreadful when playing fullback last year for the Reds. What has he shown since then that he has improved in that position? If you want his goalkicking surely it's better to go 12 Harris 13 McCabe 15 Morahan.

Journo asks: "Berrick, would you look at playing overseas in 2014?" Barnes replies: "To be honest, mate, it's an option," Barnes said. "It's something I'll seriously look at. It obviously depends on where you are here in your career." Not much in it really.

Think he was referring to 2011 season.

Seems Sydney-only... "Prizemoney of $1 million would be offered on a "winner-take-all" seven-week competition, which would be made up of Sydney clubs including Balmain."

Unfortunately he is very good at snatching intercepts from long wide balls so this could also backfire quite easily.

Worst possible news. He was really starting to live up to the circa '05 hype and stamp himself as one of the better wingers in world rugby before the leg break, and it's been nothing but setbacks since.

Last decent backline moves I can remember the Wobs played that resulted in tries were Mitchell's try in HK and Beale's try in SA in 2010. Was there one last year?

Ironically giving a short quick-fire response like that will probably create more headlines than the usually trotted out "we're really up for this one" etc. As evident in the Hun's above headline.

It's Thumbman's taller brother, "Index".

I would like to see more pick and drives next Saturday. It's amazing the tactic of passing the ball to a static forward at first receiver was used so much in Sydney, allowing the AB defence to snuff out any attempts to get front-foot ball.

The game where he scored this try?

Timani back on. What. The. Fuck.

He also palmed off Kaino to set up the quick ball for O'Connor's try in the HK Bled.

OK gonna transform some feeling from "Waratahs positivity thread" into this lovely discussion.* 1/ Woodcock, Mealamu and Hore are past it. 2/ "Methuselah" Sharpe and the best exponent of shifting bodies in world rugby, Sitaleki Timani, will eat up the weak Crusader locks. 3/ Finally we have a...

Hasn't Foley just effectively rejected the Tahs?

I think fatprop had the best line up so far: Genia Cooper Ioane Barnes McCabe AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) Beale The 2 out of 3 wins against the ABs in the past 11 or 12 or however many matches it has been has been with Cooper at 10. It's the way to go.

How long is Leroy Houston signed for over in France, and anyone know how he is going?
