I'm old, wj, and can't trust my memory but you were probably not entirely sober so it more or less evens out. I thought he brushed O'Connor on the inside then stepped Gerrard off his right foot.

Good luck with this great initiative, Fibro.

It certainly wouldn't have come from anyone of consequence at the Club. The Uni system doesn't work like that.

Send in the clowns Don't bother, they're here.

You fail to mention, Scott, that for all but the last three games of the season Pat McCabe was playing either full back or wing. During those games he attempted just 2.3 tackles per 80 minutes played and missed 24% of them. Carter slogged it out at 12 all season, attempting 12.3 tackles per 80...

I'll try my best to explain it to you, Ash. I used the word "courageous" to refer to Drew Mitchell taking a stand against the great tide of abuse directed at Tom Carter. The word was not used in relation to Carter. I spend a lot of time crafting my posts and rechecking them in order to...

Yes, courageous in the sense that he's prepared to draw some of the heat onto himself in order to stick up for a mate and the truth as he sees it. A lone voice in a baying crowd - that takes courage in my book. And this garbage about "playing such an in-your-face style" backfiring "as it did...

A courageous and well argued response to the viciousness of the attacks on Tom Carter this week from Drew Mitchell writing in the Daily Terror this morning:

Yes, RH, I appreciate the support I received from you and a few others, but with all the discussion of the performance and contribution of the assistant coaches the S & C is almost never mentioned.

Scott, many thanks for the clarification and extension of your argument. This has turned into a quite fascinating thread for those of us for whom too much analysis is never enough. In particular the video which you assembled with the action slowed down is very illuminating. It enables us to...

The defining characteristic of the Deans era has been inadequate and inappropriate physical preparation of players. In particular the lack of focus on heavy strength training has meant an inability to maintain intensity for 80 minutes. Whether this will change with the appointment of a new...

Whoops. Sorry about that, suckerforred. I shouldn't have assumed.

Thanks, Scott Allen, for providing the video which shows clearly the dynamics of this particular lineout. However I cannot agree with your view that "the lift was poor" because "Higginbotham had to reach across to make the take". On the contrary I think the Queensland lineout displayed exemplary...

The golden boy is not only in a class of his own in defensive efficiency, TOCC, but is also the standout in terms of defensive activity. Here are the top 5 in tackle attempts: Pocock 640 Hodgson 613 Brown 490 Palu 450 Mowen 391 The Western Force backrowers are certainly prepared to put in.

Sadly I think the word "balanced" is redundant in that sentence, fatprop. I seem to remember a time when he could create the impression that he knew something about the sport, but it could be just the mind playing tricks in my dotage.

I'm glad you shared that with me, Jnor. You are probably aware that you are not alone on this site, with male members using his topless body as an avatar and women members talking about having to go to confession after thinking about him. If he had chosen to locate in Sydney I'm sure he would...

Unfortunately, Hawko, at this point Jono is not listed on the Fox Sports Fantasy site presumably because he is not contracted.

I don't think there is any actual legislation, Ash. I think it's more the fact that when people are socialising in Sydney as adults they find it embarrassing to admit they're from the provinces and are very evasive about their origins. If they've managed to shake off the Queensland drawl they...

Joe, obviously I am not equipped to answer on behalf of the Peninsula Pundit but I had a look on the Fox Sports Fantasy site at the defensive efficiency of all the backrowers currently playing for Australian franchises who had attempted at least 100 tackles in Super competition since 2008. Chris...

You've developed a stutter, LG.
