Surely a half decent lawyer will get McReight's red downgraded? Otherwise yeah put Wright there and move Uru to 6.

Absolutely. I had a look during the game to see if there was any aussie grandparents or something.

The general feeling was that Harrison was the most talented of that U20s crop which included Lolesio and Donaldson, but he has been forgotten, through no-one's fault as he has been injured. It was also generally considered that he needed time, and he's now had that in spadefuls. It will be...

Kings & Newington 3-way with Knox

I was surprised he (Tane) started tonight. He won't again.

Never mind the 2m crooked line out throw

'trumping league' was probably the wrong phrase now that I have reread it as its not about that. Its more about keeping more younger players in the game in general. Hopefully more players over time would lead to better alignment.

Interestingly I was talking to a DO from RA the other night, he was telling me that both codes (and team sports in general) are struggling for numbers amongst school kids. They prefer to compete in things like Park Runs where they can turn up ad lib and if they feel like the morning off they...

Well we smacked them at their home ground in Melbourne so surely we have the wood on them with our home ground advantage?

For me personally I get right into the swimming and the rowing because we are good at them. Coincidentally they are both usually early on in the programme. I'll watch the 7s of course whenever they are scheduled. I avoid all the other events like a plague unless we have a known gold medal...

1sts/2nds playing a 3 way trial v Newington & Knox on Saturday 27th April, 3rds will play Eastwood colts earlier in the day. Nothing scheduled for this weekend as it's cadet camp week.

Hooper (meant to be) making his debut at 8:30pm AEST v Fiji. Great induction

Yes, I just meant in terms of relative performance i.e. we don't generally get done by 40, last result was 40-36 for example and we were in front with a minute to go.

I'm available. I've never played in the front row and I'm >50, but I'll give it a crack. Nothing to lose.

Yes it's why they went from 22 to 23. You can wrangle a LHP into hooker, or a LHP into THP, etc, or even a loosie who can cover hooker e.g. Fourie. But you need all 3 positions covered with 3 separate players.

At the risk of being accused of wearing blue tinted glasses, we do tend to lift for this fixture. I'm not expecting us to win but we won't get done by 40 either. I'd be starting Harrison & Foketi and sending Pietsch back to club for a few weeks, he mightn't even make 1st grade after that...

Interestingly he could be a good fit for the bigger bodied 7 that gets talked about, assuming Joe S wants to go that way.

I'm not pointing fingers at the individual performance of the players in the context, but it seemed to me that things seemed to go from pretty bad to downright awful when the mass replacements came on. There doesn't seem to be any flexibility in who stays on and who comes off, the ones having a...

That was a poor watch. What's the go with our 3 form players being pulled on game day though?

It would not be the most sensible thing to do. A few alternatives - 1. Start Barrett v Talakai and bring Thompson-Stringer on when Tupou comes on. 2. Start HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) at loose head and with a view to playing 80 minutes and covering tight head, with Barrett as a break glass' option late in the game...
