I'll be getting back from Adelaide early then on the Saturday.

Nine on the brink of bankruptcy http://www.theage.com.au/business/channel-nine-on-brink-as-banks-circle-20120925-26jpx.html

The backrow is one of the biggest question marks in 2013. I'll lose sleep over this shit.

Phipps & Beale to be the halves combo for the Wobbles this weekend, should be interesting. Last time these two played in that combination against the Bulls, we almost caused an upset.

Beale at fly-half, Barnes at fullback according to FoxSports.

Get it on Fox Sports too. Would love to watch that.

Any potential for a 4 Nations comp within the Pacific for the USA, Russia, Japan and Canada like the old "Super Powers Cup"?

No word on Saffy, last is that he's training, that's about it. I recall correctly, due for a scan to confirm his career next month.

Or Delve at 8, Higgers at 7. Doubt we'll have a quality fetcher next season. One of the weak points we've discussed before.

Depends, he'll have plenty of time to hopefully flourish as the Wallabies half-back. Likewise for Beale at fly-half (more than likely). Could work in favour of Stirzaker though, as Phipps might need a break after a big season (think of Beale in 2011/2012).

In 2011, he played on the wing mostly, wasn't in the starting XV at times, due to most of the veterans etc. A problem with JOC (James O'Connor) is, at the Force he played at 10, 12 & 15. Mitchell played at 13 for his previous club, Wasps. In 2011, JOC (James O'Connor) played all his games for the Wobbles on the wing (except...

JOC (James O'Connor) only looked good taking on the defensive, stepping through. in an individual manner, lacked any general creativity. He doesn't offer a hard running inside centre optiion, similar to McCabe either. Mitchell can do that, he's better all round centre.

Give O'Connor a roving role, similar to Ioane.

Kev had just advised me that Mardi Gras is on the weekend we play the Tahs in Sydney. Great! There goes the pubs and hotels. That comment is by no means homophobic btw.

The new laws will be used when we tour the Northern Hemisphere. I vote for the earlier, the better. Considering our scrum can be questionable at times, better to adjust to the new calls. The 5 seconds at the back of the ruck should be fine.

Nice to see everyone paying attention to the thread title, rather than the post content, regarding the introduction of the new laws or any other component of this test.

Remind me again the point of this test? That's right, the Bledisloe Cup. NZ have won 2 of the 3 tests, therefore retain it.

Hansen is keen for the new laws to be implemented: http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-sport/hansen-wants-new-laws-for-bledisloe-clash-20120922-26dxn.html However, please don't refer to them as ELVs, as the journo who wrote the article did.

Been watching Woodward just then. Quality kicker, but in no means a replacement for Gerrard.

Anyone notice there was absolutely sweet FA build up to the fixtures release? You look at all the other competitions in Australia, they generally build a bit of hype on social media, with a date/time it will be released. SANZAR are too busy sending updates about Cheerleaders and topless...
