Keiren Longbottom Matt Dunning Le Fuse Tim Fairbrother Dan Palmer Discuss. I am concerned that he is in the team based on the season he has had. Why? Edit: and no animosity to the big fellow. He has tried his guts out, and fair play to him for taking his opportunities. But I see this...

Can Higgenbotham please be reassigned to his correct position of outside back. Feel sorry for a few players - Pyle and Charles are first to come to mind. But I guess with the Reds winning the whole thing that will count for their players (and rightfully so).

Im sure if he switched codes tomorrow Quade would also be the best soccer player in the world. And the best tennis player. Hell, if he decided to play guitar, he would be the best guitar player. The NRL are just doing some ground work to try and lure him across. And good on them.

Id suggest it will be Genia Cooper Ioane Giteau AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) JOC (James O'Connor) Beale

I think Longbum could do alright, and is a better scummager than Daley right now. But with a couple of years of Daley working under Link, he might become quite a good player. Edit: And when Pocock has been injured, Hodgo has stepped up. He is snapping at Pococks heels as a 7. And if he was...

What is Tom Carter like at 13? From teh little I have seen Fa'ainga doesnt add much more there that he does?

Cheers Slim, its an unconfirmed rumour over at TWF. Force would be mad to let him go though. Rumour is that Siliva has left as well. But I cant blame him, he is behind two good young hookers.

Slim, any word on Mark Swanepoel signing with the Brumbies next year?

qwerty mate, Vicks has a hell of a lot of work ahead of him to make the 3N squad. If he gets there, I would love to see him challenging for the top lock position. The more world class players the better. But it is a long way off at the moment, he has had very little rugby under his belt.

Fair enough. I guess Vickerman and Horwill will have to do something pretty special in the next few weeks to overtake Sharpe (he is streaks ahead of both), but it is possible.

So now they might pick Sarel Pretorius or Francois Hougaard... My one memory of Januarie was his intercept try against the ABs a couple of years ago to get the Boks win in NZ.

Brandon is in the Force setup right now, was on a short term contract. But we never really saw him so no idea how he would perform. Id love to get a world class ten, but these guys dont grow on trees unfortunately. And any word on the rumour Swanepoel has left the Force? I hope not. He...

I have heard a dirty rumour that Mark Swanepoel has signed for the Brumbies? Any word?

Playing rugby on the Xbox when you are at home injured doesnt count... (I do rate Rocky as a player and hope he is our 6 going into the world cup).

I have a feeling Longbum can play both sides. I think he went to TH last weekend when Dunning came off? Could be wrong.

Not entirely the case. Top 14 clubs need to be not running at a loss otherwise they are relegated (this happened recently to a smaller club). Stade are in real danger of being relegated, and the Canadian financier was goingt o stop that. Now that has fallen through and they are something like...

I think Roncero would be a fantastic buy as a marquee player, more so that Contemponi or Parisse. We dont have any world class tightheads here (now Yoda has retired), and Roncero is certainly that. He has been around the block a half dozen times and knows every trick in the book. He would...

http://www.rugbyrama.fr/rugby/top-14/2010-2011/au-bord-du-pr ecipice_sto2842702/story.shtml Now I think this article is in French, but from others telling it, it seems that the Canadian investor they had who would have sorted them out from last time has fallen through. They are facing a...

As a starting team, thats very good. And remember that the Tahs have yet to sign their marquee and non-marquee player. Id be looking for a backup flyhalf / 2nd five type player in case Barnes is gooonnneneee as the marquee and perhaps another backrower. And I wouldnt be surprised to see...
