Well we really haven't seen hardly anything from him yet Scrubber. He played one game a 5/8, a position he is not familiar with. If he does return, it might be that he's playing the house down towards the end of the season. Nevertheless, it's hard to see him getting selected even if he was one...

Read some article this morning suggesting that PAE, Ryan, Neville and Frisby are somehow in Cheika's selection frame. Neville I understand. He's been with the squad for a while now and is built in the same mould as Kane Douglas. PAE? yeah ok. definitely has potential to be an option at THP...

One thing that's worth noting at this point is the effect this issue will have on Hunt's test prospects. Even if the Reds give Hunt the go ahead to return to the squad pending resolution of the prosecution, you wouldn't imagine selectors there is a hope in hell of the selectors picking Hunt to...

@ BH - I think you're pretty much on the money with these rankings. I like to think the Rebels have shown a bit more than the Crusaders at this stage, but I suppose on last weeks results your rankings are fair. Agree with the comments re: canes. This could be the year they finally challenge...

I actually agree with you Braveheart. It is an extremely complex issue from the club's point of view, and by no means is the presumption of innocence the only factor the Reds should consider. My rant is more taking aim at the media than anything. If anything its the media obsession feasting on...

I wish he was Biggsy...,...i wish he was

I realise it's a standard of the forum to play the ball and not the man but i cant help myself.... georgina robinson. I have really grown to loath you. Most of it comes from my bitterness of how you (and your colleagues) played an active roll in the public hanging of Ewen Mckenzie and his...

We're a no-nonsense team (Ben Daley's headgear aside)

Not completely accurate. The CCC does have extreme powers to summons people to appear and answer questions. However, once an individual is charged, that person is entitled to their right to silence (the High Court has dealt with this issue). The question remains, whether Hunt was summonsed...

Good looking team for the reds, considering injuries. Really looking forward to this one. Despite the inexperienced second row, I think the Reds pack should have the wood on Clan pack. Need to step it up from last week though. I could see both teams grabbing bonus points in this game. 5 points...

No chance. That thread had more posts than Silk Road... :D

You've listed nearly every THP in the country, except Patty Ryan. He's been a bit of a disappointment really.

Sportsbet still have betting for the NRL outright and State of Origin. I'm guessing there may be a few punters out there that think they can "predict" the outcome of this whole incident and use it to their advantage on the betting sites. But I wouldn't be jumping to conclusions that there is any...

What about THP? Anyone on the radar ATM, besides Kepu and Alexander? Laurie Weeks looked decent in round 1. I didn't really carefully critique his performance against the tahs. That seems to be about it at the moment. On the plus side, Alexander looks like he's got his mojo back.

Given that we only really have 4 available locks with test experience Cheika might be forced to blood a lock during TRC so we at least have options. Timani could be worth a look. Lets see where he is at after another 7 or 8 rounds

A2O - Am I right in assuming you are also anti-alcohol? It is after-all the drug that does more damage to our society than any other. I agree that drug use / addiction is a serious problem in society. the problem is that prohibition does nothing to address / curb serious addiction. The truth...

None, but I imagine it'll be in the interests of the players to provide their employers with a copy of the QP9s (document containing the arresting officer's allegations) when they are received.

I think the point of Clyde's article was more his opinion on the war of drugs and that he disagrees with the drug laws.

I thought the Professional Rugby drug bans were isolated to players caught with drugs in their system whilst competing. I highly doubt that applies to Hunt

@ HJ - the next step is to await the allegations. That may give the teams some clarity as to how they handle the players. If the allegations are isolate to trivial instances of purchasing drugs for friends, I would hope the ARU would let the bloke return to the team and play until he is tried...
