Agreed - it's not that hard. Distribute, say, 100 free tickets to each junior team. About 55 junior teams in Sydney. Another say 20 north and south within reach. That's 7500 easy. Do it twice a season. On other games, offer any registered rugby player (junior or senior) with a card (we certainly...

I'd go 10. Barnes 12. Carter 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)/Horne. 13 depends whether Pakalani or some other winger is fit to step it up. Hangers on the bench covering 10/12 and being kicker. That assumes Barnes can kick. If Barnes can't kick, he shouldn't play, much as I like the guy.

I think he did too - but would you opt for 'gun at 12' or 'alright at 13'? I also think for team balance it's better with him at 12...

I agree wholeheartedly with everything except this, Bruce. The simple fact is that BB is playing injured. He can't kick goals, so he lacks one of his main skill sets, and he is off in some other areas. In addition, the balance of the team is not right. I think with both players at their best...

I'm curious, but you're probably right. Then again, most things can start shit fights here :)

3. Dennis 2. Dennis 1. Dennis Yup, I'm giving all my points to Dave Dennis. HM to Barnes, who was ok, Carter, who was great off the bench but played very few minutes, and DM to Dean Mumm's autonomous limb, for giving us the boost we needed early on. Being generous you could give pass marks...

You know what, I'd totally donate towards that. I work in non-profit so I don't have much to give, but I'm sure many around here have oodles of cash floating around doing nothing. Wonder what sponsoring the Wallaroos would cost?

I do feel as though we should perhaps wait until May at least before selecting our Wobblies squads. But I'd have to agree w/ Slim, particularly on Horney.

Actually WJ thus far NRL crowds in NSW are up 4 thousand on average versus 3 years ago (17600 vs 13600). The AFL gets very little FTA coverage barring games. Yes, not having FTA coverage hurts but the ARU made that decision, for another 5 bloody years, knowing full well what it meant. These...

He's hard on the ball, loves to chase and tackle, and his enthusiasm is unsurpassed. I think we have our newest openside!!!

I think we might be seeing that sort of Indian Summer that you see sometimes from great but declining players once they embrace that they will be retiring. Warne, McGrath, Lockyer all come to mind in recent years. They're the guys that we end up saying 'whyyyy' about but I think it's the...

We had Metuisela at 8, with Stanford on the bench. Metuisela is from the EPS, Stanford is actually from outside it. Lopeti Timani is a decent addition but has had various visa-type dilemmas. I'd expect him to start against the Shorks.

We haven't had an effective 8 the last two weeks. Mowen could well have been the difference in either of those incredibly close losses. Per the Tahs' site, we only have one blindside (Elsom) and one 8 (Palu). Dennis is actually listed as a lock. We have 6 locks (including Dennis). List...

Hahaha congrats Moono, glad you enjoyed it too!

I'll be honest WJ, I don't really see where you addressed any of those points I made, and I agreed that the playing group was responsible for the performance tonight. My point re: the playing group was list management, as discussed in the Tahs 2012 thread.

Hmmm so you had to already be a fan of the Tahs (enough to like them on FB) then download a form that required you to give them all your details, THEN only use said form at the gate (no pre-purchasing). Yup, that's effective marketing. Assuming GA was the areas behind the goal posts, I...

Massive win for people power Cat, and it just shows what one angry woman with an agenda and some oomph can achieve :) Next stop, properly funded and scheduled 15s circuit!!!

So any player who isn't automatically in the starting XV is of no value? Further, given Cliffy's horrendous injury record of late, did it not occur to anyone that this was a player who was developing in to a very good 8, and could step in when this happened? Further STILL, "when Elsom is...
