Yeah, despite the way Castle was thrown out was grim, but I can't think of a thing since then that was badly handled. We've got through Covid, run a very successful comp that got the Force back into the scene, kept almost everyone on the books, made the kiwi's look pathetic, and so far...

Lolesio will make a big difference - Kuenzle was too deep against the Reds as he doesn't quite present the same running threat, so TK was constantly under pressure. Played badly regardless, but that certainly didn't help.

You're a muppet - I have first hand experience of Rennie benching his stripe players, letting the more consistent players roll with the first 60mins, and then winning at the death with a strong bench impact. Bastard, I really thought 2013 was the year, then he emptied the Chiefs bench against a...

So, RA have given the finger to the kiwi's and their '2 team invitation' bullshit, and have them swinging wildly by trying to...steal the Force off us, and now we've scored whatever form this RC takes? *something between a giggle and a snigger* ...... *mad scientist laughter*

This certainly seems the easiest way for the Force at least, to get up to the next level very quickly. Half a dozen of the best of the Jags would help everyone. It's a no brainer really, RA just get in touch with the Jags and set up a pathway.

I'd say at this point, Wright and Muirhead are first choice wingers.

I reckon Steve Hanson go GFH

You remember Perth last year? If not, watch it again and focus on White. Unleashing McDermott off the bench is a juicy prospect....

I've gotta say, I am loving how the kiwis unintentionally pulled a Pearl Harbour - pissed off a disunited but much larger country and got them all to collectively say 'you know what, fuck those guys!'. No one in Australia could have united rugby here as effectively as they've done :D

Reds 9 needs hooking immediately. Lots of shit all round, but every time they start even looking like they're getting a few phases together he shits the bed.

All those Reds fans saying they'd still turn up after blowing it just a bit too early against the Brumbies....tsk tsk

Wright injured?

Anyone found some team lineups yet? Cant get through the Cnberra Times paywall

Fardy went alright, and gave us a proper 3rd lineout option, so that the Pooper actually worked....

If we beat the kiwis in Eden Park in that exact manner, we'd all lose our shit and be mauling in the streets for weeks.

100%, in a year or maybe two, if he's finally gotten through the injury curse and he can string the rest of this season, any internationals, and next years Super Rugby season without breaking again. I do hope he does, but until he can, you plan around players you're actually likely to have on the...

Nah, c'maan fight!

Also - FUCK! I was looking at this thread earlier today thinking Fainga'a was a sure bet for first try, and probably good for two. God damn it.

Kafer at least sounds like he's played a few games before. He's not hugely insightful anymore, but Clarkie is just an autobot with a few pre-programmed phases. Like a Krusty the Clown figurine.

Beat me to it BJ - was going to point out Banks was coming back from stress fractures, so he's hardly been doing a lot of running. A few weeks and a couple of games and he'll be back on form
