It was more, Kerevi needed to play at 12, rather than 13. Chieka was never able to get Kerevi and TK to work. So JOC (James O'Connor) was brought into 13 to act as a '12' with a 13 on his back.

There's a bit of history being re-written here BR. When Phillip was stringing some quality back to back matches together for the Rebels, we had Coleman and Rory Arnold playing some great footy along with Rodda and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) who are both taller than Phillip. Looking back at the 2019 WC squad, you...

https://www.chiefs.co.nz/player/anton-lienert-brown Just goes to show the weight and heights are never accurate.

Daugunu + Koro + Folau would be Chieka's wet dream as we'd be force to run it out from 22 no matter what.

Cheslin Kolbe is 5 foot + change and no-one questions his spot starting in the world cup final. Hodge gets burnt on the outside, Banks and Maddocks can't defend on the wing, leaving you only Wright as the alternative if it isn't Daugunu.

Eh, there's a time and place to deconstruct the season they had, the coaching team and players have a full off-season to work out how to improve from here. But we should also take a moment to enjoy what they have done well on. I've had enough of the doom and gloom that not only have we had to...

Bloody hell. There is just no pleasing some. You can only play what's in front of you. Realistically speaking the Reds really only has one howler of a game this year and that was against the Tahs a couple of months ago. Otherwise they have been there or thereabouts every Super game (that I can...

JOC (James O'Connor) was busier for the Reds than Noah was for the Brumbies, in otherwords, JOC (James O'Connor) was forced to do more and Noah was able to drift in and out and have more meaningful contributions. He played a great game and didn't seem to be impacted by that long layoff! Brumbies were too good, the pressure...

What we heard from the NH when we got smacked around in the scrums in the early to mid 00's was we should focus on our scrumming rather than moaning. Now we have great props and a scrumming and its somehow a problem? Hypothetically speaking, if all the penalties awarded to a team were/are...

Sounds like you've picked three guys who are all hard workers, but none excel at bending the line or drawing more than one tackler in.

A mate and I share an account. It's under my name/CC and I tell him to just bring me a couple of beers whenever we watch a game. Makes it more digestible if we're both paying half of that fee.

I dunno. I think Rugby/Fox can take a lot from F1 and apply it to make Union more of a spectacle. The F1 has three days of excellent coverage by plenty of passionate men and women. Their pre and post coverage is phenomenal, all the commentators seem to be into calling the race as it unfolds with...

Is there any reason why we can't start TRC a week or two earlier, then just shift these two games in NZ to the end? That way both teams have to do their 2 week quarantine in the same conditions?

Re-read your post and be honest with how ridiculous it reads. You say you haven't watched him that much, that he makes mistakes and there's better options out there. Yet you don't post up who played better than Jock at fullback this season. It just highlights how the coaches need to pick a...

Maddocks has probably played better than Banks but I fear if Maddocks played at 15 against the Darkness it'd be like Tahu's start against the Springboks.

"I haven't watched him but I have strong opinions about him".... Jock was the fullback of the competition, has been excellent in attack both in terms of his running play and offloading. His kicking from hand has been ok and he's had some issues with defence, mostly at wing. I agree that he...

Agreed. The comment was more about the calls to promote him to a national gig was premature similar to Hanigan being pushed into the Wallabies camp when it was obvious he wasn't ready.

Remember when people were talking about Weasels being the Wallabies coach......

For a bang on average rugby player, Magnay sure likes to chat shit.

Bloody hell. They should rename the Melbourne Rebels to the Marika Rebels. He is absolutely everywhere and in everything.
