Bizzare. That might be half the problem there.

Might have to happen next year. Who are the assistant coaches at the Force? Can't see anyone being parachuted in from the outside.

Get him in. Needs to happen yesterday.

This is outrageous stuff. Foley really should hand in his resignation. Are there any decent coaches floating around?

Oh my fucking god...

That's definitely the main takeaway from this game.

WOOO GET IN! Best possible start to the year!

RUGBY IN LIKE TWO HOURS! WOOO!

Really? I've been lied to then :mad: As for the whole Fuglistaller-Colby thing, my problem with Fuglistaller is that he's only okay. He's a high-floor, low-ceiling kind of player, which in totally fine in some instances, you just want someone who can get the job done. I can't remember him ever...

Funnily enough, the Rebels have never lost a game when Hegarty has started at flyhalf.

Neville wasn't great last year. Didn't regress exactly, but he didn't improve. At this stage he's still just an athlete who isn't anything special as a rugby player.

Inman at 12 is a very good thing. There are some, umm, interesting selections in there though. Just not sure about Fuglistaller over Colby. Or Mitchell over anyone. Jones is a much better 6 than lock, but it looks like McGahan is picking a lot of high workrate guys who can cover a stack of...

At first glance not super happy with Jones at 5, McMahon, Fuglistaller and Mitchell.

Beat me to it @199madmave

I was calling for that last year. If Tony's been reading my posts we're in for a good year. Inman at 12 makes so much sense, both on attack and defence.

This. Always seemed like a plodder to me. Makes a lot of tackles, but that's about all he offers.

Mate, we were rubbish. On attack and defence. We got pumped.

One more thing to consider as regards Pocock is he has the ability to single-handedly take charge of games in a way I haven't seen from Hooper yet. I'm mainly thinking of the WC quarter against South Africa but there have been others as well. Still, it's a good problem to have. One of those...

Having a figurehead to point at and blame is always the easier way out. The Hooper/Pocock argument is a bit like Hooper/Gill for me. By selecting Hooper you concede a degree of breakdown dominance with the understanding that you'll get a far superior ball carrier. With Palu and Higgers both...

Ha, wait until selections are actually made. If McGahan pulls some brilliance like starting Jones on the bench so he can play Colby and Fuglistaller at the same time all bets are off.
