I imagine the thinking behind Tate finishing the game is due to his running game being utilised against tired big bodies. Him coming on around the 50th minute mark should have a big impact on an up-tempo game style. Rodda is no doubt being rested. It's been a long campaign till our first bye...

I wonder if it has anything to do with people thinking there's a whole bunch of fluffing about before the actual kick off. All too often the time is advertised as say 7:40pm with there being 10+ minutes of pre kickoff warm ups etc, although, this is particularly worse at international level...

I'm all for relaxing the ruling, but not for a bloke like Adam Coleman. His body has not demonstrated the ability to hold up over consecutive weeks worth of rugby. Hell, last year alone he played 10 Super Rugby games and 7 Wallabies games (only starting 3 of them). I'd be more than happy for a...

Bugger about Hunter. Hopefully he only misses two games as we have a bye after next weekend right?

Dru, I completely understand with what you're saying. However, its the second week in a row where I've been unimpressed by Jocks kicking (which includes at goal AND in play). Having a Foleyesque clearing kick is detrimental to the teams ability to get out of the danger zone and with the line out...

What am I missing? Poor kicking game from the ground and by hand last week and again this week. We crucify hookers for not being able to throw, so why does he get a pass? 2 out of 3 would have drawn the game this week and 100% would have won it.

So does Alfred get paid for conversion or attempts? Absolutely diabolical both from place and in hand.

Jock is the Reds biggest liability in the backs. His running game does not make up for his poor kicking game or inability to control the ball. Hegarty or Lucas should be at 15.

If we lose this by two, Jock shouldn't be kicking again.

How the hell was Topou penalised there

Harrys left hand is in control whilst he places it, give it try and lets keep playing.

wtf just happened

Mate, if you're going to be a smart arse, it might be wise to check other sources outside of News Corp. Last I checked, the 5th/6th is not the middle of March.

If they're looking at changing the eligibility requirements, I wonder where they would leave Ian Prior?

Or you know, it could be the fact he's been playing every week since Jan 17, flown to the republic and south america and still played another 3 more (3rd being the Crusaders game) games without a break. I'd imagine he'd be bit fatigue and they're managing his workload.

Eh, the only ones would be Arnold, Kerevi in my eyes. Skelton - sure he's doing well up North, but we've seen it doesnt necessarily translate when players come back or at a international level. Coleman - lost his mojo for the last 18 months. Felt like he spent more time injured and then...

Kellaway strikes me as Davies 2.0. Perhaps I am stuck in the mindset of his build from a few years ago. The Rebels have him listed as 186cm, would that be correct?

Barb, with the backline you've listed, I don't think Beale is needed in the 23. I'd much rather have a Lolesio or Harrison there to come on and be guided by To'omua or JOC (James O'Connor) at 12. With Banks and DHP you've got two covers for 15, with 12 you've got JOC (James O'Connor) and To'omua. So I just don't see his value add.

FF (Folau Fainga'a), you've heard of an insurance excess right?

So what does that say about Rod Mcqueen? Appointed as coach in 1997, but didn't win until 2001. So he failed that test as he didn't win in 98 or 99.
