Interesting how things change: Devine was an (amazingly small) electric broken play runner, playing at 15 for the 1st XV Burgess did not play in the 1st XV (I don't think)

Two fists of fury - in the face!

Must you remind us so early? At this stage of the season we are still in with a chance of winning the Super comp (in our minds), and you've got to come in here and start talking about reality.

There must be only a handful of schools that have 15+ Wallaby alumni, and of those even less who could fill every position - my guess is that we'd struggle to find 5 (which is not to say I don't find the exercise interesting).

It isn't about the quality of the product, it is about perception and marketing..... Come on Barbarian - where is the ad that will end all our woes?!

Dr John O'Gorman

Pocock Sharpe Beale although I guess Beale could sneak 2nd ahead of Sharpe.

did anyone else see that match? Metro were pretty good, and piled on loads of pressure only for the No.10 to take ridiculous field goal attempts (and he was given MOTM!!!). Then the Saracens 12 gifts them a try on half time - I can't believe I'm writing this, but Gavin Henson will be an...

Nope

I think Walsh is an excellent ref. I like the way he gives the teams a bit of a commentary. I suspect that he needs to give clearer guidelines to captains regarding how they approach him, and when. The Hoiles incident would probably have been better handled by the issuing of a yellow card for...

What the fuck is going on here?! I stumble into the Quade Cooper thread to find a discussion on thigh size and turd frequency...well maybe there is a tenuous QC (Quade Cooper) link. Maybe.

The main thing they need is for their main backs to be injury free. If that happens I think they will score plenty of tries (I'm thinking a Valentine, To'omua, Fainifo, Giteau, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), McCabe, Lealifano backline, or something like it, would be pretty handy)

Soundtrack could be something like the Dies Irae from the Verdi Requiem:

really?! you'd put that in an ad? QC (Quade Cooper) acting like a tool. I guess it might attract the mungo crowd.

The thing about many of those penalty attempts is that they would even be low % shots for Steyn or Carter. At the end of a close game (whether or not in the lead), or on the buzzer as a 'Hail Mary', they are worth a punt. Early in a match, there is often much momentum and pressure on the...

Trying to give QLD a fighting chance

Really, why not? What are the requirements to be a marquee player? I'm pretty sure being any good is not one of them.

Wallaby season over for 2010 and things look pretty good for the Tahs (although I'm a bit concerned about the THP situation - see above). Robinson and TPN look to be going in the right direction. Barnes, Beale, Mitchell and Turner are all pretty much on fire. Palu and Waugh are back in...

Agree totally Lindo, and I would go further and say fuck the marquee player concept (let's face it, they are generally B grade anyway) and have a 'simple'.... '1 foreigner allowed (from anywhere) in each Aussie Super squad, plus the option of one more (who is not from the 6N, New Zealand or...
