Wests vs Souths, tought one, EAC who did you tip so I can do the opposite and close the gap :P

I'm not sure if this is part of the same thing or not, but this was just posted on the Easts website. I assume these players are all trialling for this aswell. Very happy for Matt Beeston, he was the year below me at school and I played with him a few times, always very underrated, he has been...

We know.

Only 40pts then?

$450 a game, handy pay for 80minutes on a Saturday arvo. Not many clubs would be able to afford that though I'd imagine. I think that's just the way it is going now, incentives are going to be a part of it but it does sometimes have plus sides, look at Wests for example, most of their success...

It still pains me to see so many (NSW Waratahs) bracketed against most of the Wallabies team, and it's not a provincial rivalry thing, it's just that these players have not been the best in their position this year. Robinson - Slipper Polota-Nau- Moore Kepu - Palmer (unfit) Timani-...

BEN FUCKING ALEXANDER AT TIGHTHEAD?! Okay I'm happy with the rest of the team, well not happy, but as far as Deans goes thats as good as we could of hoped for. But Alexander is shithouse at tighthead, how could anyone, especially a professional coach see him good enough to start, especially when...

Walker has been on ice for over a month now qwerty, got injured in his first match for Easts.

Perpignan's clean out and new recruitments makes me think they'll go well this year. Toulouse and Clermont to be top two by a mile. Montpellier are me darkhorses when they get their Argies back.

I meant that in regards to McCalman playing lock. It significantly hinders the line-out if he plays there, because neither Brown or Hodgson are great jumpers, and McCalman is only average.

Surley the backrow has to be Brown, Hodgson and McCalman?

We're looking at signing a new prop to replace Shepherdson I'm pretty sure, so I suspect we will get a new tighthead there. I want to see us use that marquee spot we have on getting a world class prop, or at least a giant Saffa, Argentine or Georgian.

I think McKenzie see's Slipper as more of a tighthead (which I agree with). Whilst I do think McDuling has the potential to be a prospect at 6, Quirk will probably get the first crack at it just because he played this year. Chris F'Sautia is miles ahead of Toua, I think he will be keeping...

Nonu has a good passing game and runs his lines well. SBW is often a creative linchpin through his offloading skills. Compare that with McCabe, who only really runs in one channel, and Horne who, well, I'm not quite sure what he does.

I don't think we have really seen enough of him at Prop to make a good judgement. Most of his Reds game time has been at hooker

McCabe needs to be played at 13.

So apparently Beale will be dropped from the 22? I really cannot see the logic in this, yes he was crap on Saturday, but he is still the second best fullback in the world. Moving AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) there and bringing in an underdone Mitchell is not the solution.

Alberts and Coetzee should now be permanent in the backrow. But number 8 is a issue, I'd have Vermuelen >Kankowski > Spies if they were all available.

Drewprint, I agree, we seriously lack mongrel. Higgers has got it, Sharpie has got it, Horwill and Vickerman had plenty of it. But right now we just look soft. Watching the All Blacks, they have some mean buggers in their pack, who are all nice blokes off the field, but once the play they are...
