in my opinion, legalisation would be very similar to that of alcohol. You wouldn't rock up to work drunk, nor would u go to work on heroin, acid, cocaine etc. even if it were legal. Government roles - Regulate the product, control the supply. then privatise. You only have to look at Colorado to...

off topic but if there is a way to play both Hooper & Pocock in the starting wallabies team i think it should be done. They are the only aussie two forwards who put fear into the opposition. Carter & Simmons...? Whilst they aren't bad players, they look like baby faced bitches.

JOC (James O'Connor) and Thompson are both being held of so that they don't start prematurely. I think staying on the side of caution for round 1 isn't such a bad thing. I actually like the Kerevi-CFS centre pairing. Chris needs to find some form, but is now in his favourite position and Kerevi is the future...

could we merge To'omua, hunt and JOC (James O'Connor) into one player..... ? karjatt o'huntua

good point, part of me thinks he won't do too well though - especially against To'omua who is probably the best defensive 10 in the world right now. He stood too deep against the saders and didn't seem overly deceptive - cept for that ball to ant.

i hate the fact that Hunt is being played at 10 as well. I see him as the only person with a chance of displacing Izzy at 15. He needs time to make that position his own if he is to do this. JOC (James O'Connor) can cover 10 pretty easily at super level.

& who knows, he might silence the critics and this time next week we will be advocating for him to start in the first game

I have to agree with BDA on this one, why throw Duncan in the deep end when you can utilise JOC (James O'Connor)'s versatility and ease Duncan in off the bench. You don't want to shatter his confidence against To'omua. That being said Duncan should start against the saders in the second trial.

Frisky at 10 looked composed. Duncan had an off night for sure, but yeah - that's what trials are for, calm the nerves a bit

the Reds email i read stated that the 100 cap guys don't need a title as they have already cemented themselves as leaders.

I feel Hunt's rise to VC is a worrying sign. Firstly, it could demoralise some of the guys who have been in the reds for ages - that a new, untried player, can come in and get captaincy without proving himself. Secondly, and more importantly it potentially highlights Quade's future, or lack of...

2015 Horwill C & Quade VC 2016 Quade C & Slipper VC - permitting they both hang around

My prediction Slipper TPN - doubt Moore will get back to his best in time, please prove me wrong Kepu Skelton - i feel he will improve dramatically 2015, sub him at 50 Simmons Fardy Hooper - again cant see pocock displacing him in time Big Dog - Palu will prob be injured, if not Palu Phipps...

I see Hunt as the only person who could displace Folau at the back. It's a very exciting prospect, and would solve a lot of issues in our own half (if he lives up to the hype) In my books Folau is better on the wing, and it would better utilise his aerial game.

"Hunt’s teammates were given a taste of his new skills when he launched a kick from inside his own 20m across field to find touch 5m from the opposing tryline." from the same article.... hectic that's an accurate, 80m kick

What i like is that we have adequate, if not impressive reserve options for every position: 9. Genia & Frisby (looks like Matt Lucas is in the picture too?) 10. Quade, JOC (James O'Connor) & Duncan 11 & 14 - JOC (James O'Connor), CFS, Kurindrani, Turner, JJT 12. Taps, Ant, Kerevi, JOC (James O'Connor), Khunt 13. Kerevi, CFS, Ant 15. Hunt, JOC (James O'Connor)...

beast

Don't like the idea of KB (Kurtley Beale) at fullback.. too much of a liability, defensively and under the highball. I think it would have to be somebody who is safe under the highball, has good positioning and has a big, accurate boot. The only person who gets close to that (excluding Mogg) is JOC (James O'Connor). Hunt is a...

very disappointed with cooper not starting. Bernard's form hasn't set the world on fire and as people have posted, this was the last opportunity to see how Phipps and Cooper combined.

i'm interested in what people would consider the three best stadiums in Australia, not just for Rugby but for anything - what makes the best stadium experience? keeping in mind atmosphere, public transport etc. you'd think MCG and Suncorp would have to be in the top 3? any others?
