I think this is about right given the Force are usually a low turnout opposition, but the fact it's a Saturday game should help get a few more through the gates compared to the Rebels game.

Pretty sure Gilmore is in charge of defence

Not sure a super round game would count as a home defense.

I compiled it and completely forgot to post it, thanks for reminding me

It's all down to broadcasters I think. Nine/Stan want the big game on Saturday night and push for that. There's some effort to spread the teams involved around a little bit to share exposure but at the end of the day they need to be putting their best foot forward in those games. Also Friday...

Yeah, aside from broadcasters needing the games to keep to a relatively consistent timing, resetting the clock on advantage would be of double benefit for attacking teams in a lot of cases - the chance to string a lot of phases together, tiring a defence out to then get another go attacking the...

Vunivalu officially ruled out with a 1 week suspension

Vunivalu suspended for 1 week after the dual trips

It's all good, I probably won't fall into the trap of thinking you've named a front row of Nawaqanitawase, Muirhead and Daugunu when I go to compile the team.

Raiwailui looks like the star candidate for mine, assuming you can get him off of world rugby. Looks like the right mix of experience and ability to build something long term, rather than the quick fix gamble with little hope of long term planning that Chieka represents. Otherwise John Manenti...

You just have to be difficult, don't you

This thread might make more sense over on the club rugby section of the forum https://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/forums/club-rugby/ You might get a bit more buy in there

Might not be all bad for Coleman, there's every chance the Crusaders will be looking for a new coach at the end of the season and Coleman clearly beats their current guy in what is a pretty direct and clear comparison.

BPA could be a smokey to go straight into the starting jersey if Schmidt is worried about the scrum, he's been the best scrummaging hooker we've had since at least Polota-Nau, probably longer.

To be expected, any word on whether he's been offered another role? There was talk of him doing the GM/DoR job which would be a mistake, or dropping back to be an assistant in charge of attack which would be about right and a good way to not lose him entirely. Edit: nothing specific in the...

Nope, not going to waste my time doing that. If you have an issue with how the teams are posted take it up with the Force and rugby.com.au for posting them without numbers

Personally I don't really have any issue with the kicker using their allotted time to take the kick. The laws now give them a set amount of time to take a kick so I don't see how it would be fair to call anything within that time wasting. It's a much better situation then in the past where it...

Filipo not so bad there

Rebels seem to have a bit of a mental block/fear playing the kiwis still. If they attacked the ruck like they did last week they'd be in a much better position but they've fallen back into all patterns and look like they're so worried about the chiefs attack they just want to load the d line.
