My only worry about link is that he is prone to make a mistake on certain players every now and then. I.E. he picked brando va'aulu on the wing for the reds for far too long, picked horwill at 6. Moving Genia to flyhalf was also a mistake. But they are few and far between compared to what...

The thing with the wallabies at the moment is that, if deans has 'lost' the dressing room as reports suggest, then there is no option but to get rid of him. At super rugby level you can clean out the problem players and start again, but when it comes to tests, you have to work with what you...

The real pass mark will be if we are playing good rugby. Because when the team plays well the results will take care of them self.

Pass mark for a new coach is winning the lions tour. After that the pass mark is beating the all blacks at least once a year.

I would have thought link might want to take his team with him to the wallabies. Would it be too cynical to suggest the QRU re-signed them so that the ARU would have to buy out there contracts in a few weeks.

I think by playing JOC (James O'Connor) at 13 you kill his short kicking game (chips and tactical, not grubbers), which is one of the things he does really well. In reality the numbers on the back dont really matter that much when the backline is split into two with cooper on one side and JOC (James O'Connor) on the other...

Tahs need a flyhalf and a lock. I think holloway played well for the U20, he could be worth an EPS spot. Liked the prop Latu as well. I havent seen enough of the flyhalves to really comment. What is hoiles status for next season. I expect he will be part of some sort of wider tahs training...

You missed crawford at fullback. I would keep pakalani. Keep betham in the loop but dont pay him. Trist should never have been signed to begin with - I said that at the time and I stand by it.

If the shmoo is out will deans go with Shipperly or Cummins? Shipperly had the better season, but cummins was on the end of a very ordinary backline. Ofcourse the possibility remains they might both come into the fold if our centres are dumped.

I came here to post this and you both beat me to it. I would ask him to take it a step further and pick the wallaby pack. Does he think Mowen can make the step up?

I fully expect Hooper to turn to shit next season once he joins the tahs.

Slipper was fine at the clean out. He looked like he actually wanted to hurt people, I wish we could say the same about the rest of the pack.

I went out to watch their first game of the season v terrace as I had heard good things about this side. I think they put 40-50 points on a terrace side that had Liam Gill, Con Foley, Mat Lucas, Ged O'Hare, Maranta from the broncos. Think the young hooker from easts prems might have been playing...

I think we need some more size in the outside backs. Horne and Fainga'a are there to provide go forward but its just not happening at the moment. We need an out centre and a winger who can break a tackle and make metres with every touch. Genia, Cooper, JOC (James O'Connor) and Beale can put blokes in gaps, but we...

I think thats a pretty fair team barbs. I think that pack is about the best we can put out at the moment. The backs hinge on the fitness of JOC (James O'Connor) and McCabe. I dont think you can reward poor performance, and barnes played poorly. I agree with your wingers though, and I also would like to see...

I want to see a Gnostic v JON televised debate. It would be more interesting than the rugby club.

If cooper is out I would rather see Beale play 10 than Barnes.

JOC (James O'Connor) and McCabe should be back for this game. What is the injury status of Palu, TPN and Palmer?

Barnes played horribly for the second test in a row. Beale got dropped for less last week.

Easily one of the weakest areas of our game. We need to turn this into a strength if we are to be number 1.
