Your right 1 injury out of 6 games played on the field, which happened during the most physical game of the day= fiel dbeing a safety issue. tigerland12 will he still be available for Hawkes Bay? I really think Toua could benefit from the confidence that playing in the ITM cup would bring...

This sort of injury only happens on Wests oval? I am sorry but if you don't want to play on hard/dry fields you shouldn't, be playing rugby in Australia and probably not playing fullstop. The fields at west are not bad at all and till about 5 weeks ago where as good as they have ever been...

Is Gunn ok? or is it long term? For Easts sake I hope not as he is exponentially better than Parry, who i would suggest is one of the most vital cogs in Easts finals assault. Qld's answer to Michael Hooper.

Would have thought there were better & younger hookers in premier grade like Maile Ngaumo perhaps Ready. Good player but not a natural at hooker and I haven't ever really looked at him and thought he is Super material. But i honestly haven't seen a hooker that fits that bill in the whole comp...

University are the form team and outside of GPS have the most impressive line up. They would be near favourites to win. even looking at how much their line up has changed in recent weeks makes me think twice about tipping easts. Uni's line up vs easts last time...

In all honesty even if they offered Greene and/or McIntyre a shot at academy. You would be crazy not to take an EPS or squad position instead which is what the rebels are looking for.

I honestly think the rebels would be better served getting a young 10 or 12 from Australia then getting more NZ mercenaries. Not saying it's a bad thing but honestly Rebels is a Aus franchise. I know the same could be said about the force and SA players but at the same time the force are a...

University have beaten GPS in the last two weeks? And are sporting a bit more fire power than they did the last time they met Easts

i am making a big call......Easts vs GPS grand final

I wouldn't be surprised if cooper came on at 15 if To'omua is playing well.....

Am I the only who feels a bit 'meh', about this All Blacks side? I just don't feel the same sense of FML that I usually do at the beginning of each tri-nation/rugby championship for the last 3 years. I don't feel as if we will be treading water trying not drown amidst a relentless black tide...

Lets be real here, Robinson no athlete. I would say he would have a lot less strength than his peers. Robinson's scrummaging technique came from low body height and a technique suited to making his opponents having to adjust their hit due to his technique/body height which I have always thought...

I think this round will be the most telling of the season in terms of giving us a picture of how things will pan out come finals time. Brothers need to step up against an Easts unit which is seeming to pick up steam like a locomotive. While the GPS youngsters will need to prove that their...

Are the choice LHP. Robinson is effective and works hard, however Sio's explosiveness upfront has really impressed me. If kimlin and Higginbotham were around i would choose robinson. But now that we have lost that bit of power i think Sio is needed. However i understand this is a pipedream and...

Your probably not far off the money with your pack as when we think about the type of pack link has used over the years he has always seemed to prefer tradesmen like tight five, with each person in his backrow taking on a specific role. In my opinion however i think an all brumbs frontrow is...

I think what we could now see is something along the lines of 4. MMM 5. Horwill 6. Fardy 7. Gill/Hooper 8. Mowen However for arguments sake i will throw the hats of Douglas, Pyle & Schatz into the ring

I think its the product of the style the brumbies play. As noted in previous comments and threads a lot of his forward partners are guilty of similar charges. Not to mention the brumbies as a team had a higher than average penalty count.....it was one of the most talked about aspects of their...

I think their tenures ended on completely different terms

I am no expert on matters such as these but i would assume coaches like Phil would have a clause in their contract which would allow them to leave if they got a 'better' position. However i am unaware of what his current position is with the Panasonic Wild Knights......However would that be a...

^^^ does anyone even know what he is doing now?
