I'm a Jones fan but it's a lot to ask of him defensively to play 8. Does anyone else think he may be a little too small to play lock at test level? Will his frame handle a bit more bulk?

Lot of conspiracy theories here guys, it's just a TV show.

I still say that the kick-off is the risk for the Tahs. They need it to go 10m, not dead in-goal and not into touch. They need to pick the ball up very carefully, maybe facing their own goal line, in a gentle sweeping motion. Secure it with both hands, arms and shoulders and do not think about...

Lote?

I'm not saying they're poor players, but isn't it interesting that Phipps, Burgess and Stirzaker all rose to prominence by playing behind dominant Syd Uni packs. It's one thing looking good behind bully boy packs at club level and another thing altogether playing behind packs chasing parity at...

It's critical in matches against "The Bye" that you win the toss. Then you can kick off, win possession, score and win the game. Lose the toss and there's no kick off.

Think about using Skelton effectively off the bench. Let's say Skelton and Higginbotham replace Douglas and Palu at the 50-60min mark. You gain a jumper in Higginbotham over Palu, to balance the loss of Douglas jumping. Importantly what you get with Skelton is a strong advantage line runner with...

Great, you've found a positive.

Sorry,Ruan.

Come on champ, he's a schoolboy.....any positives?

That may be but true Dave but you still have to pay for the privilege of crossing the bridge, where it's free going the other way.

I like the Brumby prop Smith. He can both scrummage and play rugby.

Plus RUPA?

Thought the Crusaders were ruthless today and that the Brumbies hung in there well in the circumstances. Crusaders are masters at playing right at the edge of the law but because they play with such intensity, at pace and in numbers at the breakdown, the ref doesn't know where to look. They...

I thought the pressing defensive efforts by the Tahs in the last 20 mins were real signs that this is a serious team with a strong will to win.

Congratulations to both Manly and Warringah clubs and fans for the tremendous turn out today.

Why doesn't the Waratah CEO share what he declared to the trust? "Waratahs Rugby formally notified the Trust of the level of service and facilities that it expects and demands for its members and fans,” Allen’s letter said. I'd be interested to hear what he represented on fan's behalf re...

Can anyone think of any new, innovative or even rehashed promotional ideas that the Waratah's Marketing department have introduced in 2014? Please don't include initiatives driven by the rugby department.

You forgot to mention the star fullback who was also by chance the Greek parachuting champion - Con Descendin

I like to see league converts succeed in rugby. A successful conversion delivers a much needed boost in press attention and profile for our game, usually along with benefits for the team they play for both on and off the field. Yes the skill sets are different and vary according to position but...
