And a glassing in cargo bar

Agree with your points here, Bruce, this is what differentiates the good scrummaging hookers from the bad ones. Apparently TPN is immovable no matter how well you splinter off his LHP. Likewise he comes with you on the engage and makes life very difficult for the opposition hooker. Incredibly...

He played LHP in colts but has not played there since he started in grade in 2009. All his senior scrummaging in grade and at the tahs has been at THP, but I suspect that once he has got a good handle on that side they'll work on him covering both sides as they did with Tilse. I agree about the...

Agree, Lee. I think Perrett could go really well at this level. I suspect those who say he is not hard enough for Super Rugby have never been hit by him. He doesn't seem to lack toughness when I have seen him play. Also agree about Turner and/or Kingston. They need to get some pace into that...

That would be a big risk. The big fella doesn't get on the paddock much these days. One thing about him, though, is that he knows a thing or two about scrums and loves schooling the young fellas. You often see him after a game in animated and usually friendly discussion with the other props...

There have been more than 2, for sure, but it is not common. In my time (78) there was Matt Wurth, an inside centre who played the whole season in year 10. Played league for Wests when he left school but didn't go too far. Man, could that guy tackle! There was a breakaway called Mal Irvine who I...

Not so sure about ma'afu but tetera is definitely a smart buy. I thought he was going to brumbyland to be with his mate Palmer. They must have dangled an attractive carrot.

Big fan of Ben Roberts and would have loved to see him get a run on Sat night, but I can't agree. I thought Ulugia was good for 80.

Where's the information on McCutcheon and Timani coming from?

Is it just me or does Jaimie Mackintosh really look like Dave Dennis's big brother?

Tahs: Sitaleki Timani, Sekope Kepu, Ben Mowen Reds: B Robinson (by selectors anyway), James Hansen (he'd start every week if I was picking the side) Rebs: Ged Robinson, Al Campbell (he's been a real revelation this year) Brums: Dan Palmer (clearly the best scrummaging THP in Aus), Peter Kimlin...

Tahs 3. Timani 2. Cutch 1. KB (Kurtley Beale) Force 3. Brown 2. Cummins 1. Pocock Special mentions to Fatcat (tahs best back after KB (Kurtley Beale)), Cross (great try of what was clearly a set move), and Hangers who looked really sharp and might be getting back to some form after a long injury lay off. Mowen was also good...

Lindo, Matt schwager is the son of Tony and the nephew of geoff and adrian and the grandson of Inness "bull" schwager. All joeys old boys from Wee Waa. Matt is one of those rare players who played Aussie schools from his school's 2nd XV.

If PO'B got a run that should have given the average age a considerable boost!:)

Reds 3. Genia 2. Robinson 1. Higginbum Rebs 3. Phipps 2. Mortlock 1. Delve

Go Benny! He'll go great.

MCL strain sustained in the captain's run before the Force game. Expected back in 2-3 weeks.

Sorry fellas, late scratching. Youngest daughter's 18th. She's scarier than Colin Meads with his hands on a halfbacks leg. I have been summonsed.

Knee MCL strain. Needs about another 3-4 weeks. Got the injury in the captains run in perth.

If TPN really is out then hooking stocks are very thin in Tahland. Fitzpatrick is out for another month which means Ulungia would start. That's a concern, particularly at lineout time. I have no idea who the bench hooker would be in that circumstance. Maybe Ben Roberts, who has had some time...
