He needs to stay healthy

I noticed in a couple of line outs on the weekend that the reds jumper took a small step backwards his tryline and then jumped towards the opposition line. The result was that the jumper looked to be reaching towards the opposition try line in order to secure the ball but in fact was catching...

I think we need a separate subforum for whinging about Tom Carter. You would think that reds fans would be happy at stealing a win at the death.

I don’t doubt that its financially better to play games at homebush but it’s a crap place to watch rugby both because of the field shape (which leaves you a long way away from the game) and also because there are so many crap seats out there. For example, I had “gold” class members seats for...

We had two opportunities to close that game out last night in the last 10 minutes, all we needed to do was control the ball. We failed both times, once through a knock on and once through a poor decision combined with poor execution. The real issue was lack of leadership from the tahs, we...

What happened to McCutch? I presume injured but haven't heard it anywhere. Otherwise how does he go from being VC to being left right out?

The homebush games include public transport from anywhere in the metro area to the game. Tickets to the SFS games should include free bus transfers from the city/central to moore park.

Every country struggles to keep the second best 15 players. Personally I think both of them could improve from stints in france and could come back to further their wallaby careers.

But did you eat the pies first or did you defer to the more experienced food critic?

I played against all of them except Smithfield, although I played fairvale which must have been right next door. Your right on west sydney saints although they did stick to cokes for the boat races. Hurlstone Park was another clulb of similar ilk.

There have been south sydney based teams on and off over the years, don't they usually play at waterloo oval and I presume they have the duke in Waterloo as their watering hole/sponsor. Maybe one of the existing clubs has been renamed now that Alexandria is a more trendy suburb. Reminds me of...

Agree. Reckon mowens a good choice, especially as he doesn't miss many games. Wonder weather the mid season wallaby tests have been part of the decision? You would have to think Moore will miss/be rested for a couple of super games as a result. My other theory is that the selection of mowen...

Dan Parks? Just kidding LG, although it could be a better choice than tits for hands and rocks for feet Anesi.

Astounding, and I guess this cross tabulates with the comments in the subbies thread about some clubs having the ability to pay (sometimes) large $'s for players.

I don’t see Parks as a marquee, just as someone who can provide late season depth to the force in a position they are already weak in given the loss of JOC (James O'Connor). I suspect they will already be out of finals running by then, but who knows?

McCutcheon as vice captain?

The shute shield clubs used to field teams in subbies colts comps. I can recall playing against Eastwood, Souths and Gordon. I have no problem with it.

Ageist:p If your good enough, your young enough. Cardiff's season finishes at end of May, he could easily play the lasty four rounds this year, possibly more depending on how cardiff are travelling.

I would love to see Parks play for the force this year, even if its for the back end of the season. Bend the rules if required and let him play.

Is Dennis really a 2nd row at super level? I think we are pushing it with Mumm already. I forgot (or more accurately don't know enough) about Peterson but it still sounds thin. I guess we are reliant on Douglas coming back into form or Peterson stepping up (or both) while the other two work...
