I reckon Tomane or Vuna are a strong chance to be capped.

Does anyone else want to see McCabe play 13? Without Tapuai fit we don't really have anyone standing out in that position, and last years WC showed we can't play 12.McCabe 13.Fainga'a Then by the time the Four Nations comes around O'Connor at 12 and McCabe outside him. He has all the attributes...

He made a few mistakes in his second game back, bit early to be judging his performances woth that much critique. I've seen many players return from injury with way worse performances. Barnes at 10? Yeah sure, how has the Waratahs backline been functioning this year?

Mansell is a freak. So fast its not funny. Handy player to have come on later in the game for some spark. That try was brilliant.

Mowen, Cowan, Cummins and Holmes must be wondering what more they have to do. Typical Deans making some really shit choices. Next minute it'll be McCabe and Fainga'a in the centers again.

Only just realised how poor the Scottish have been in recent years. They are no ranked 12th behind Tonga, Samoa and Italy, whils they are now confinded to a mid-week game in regional Australia before flying to play second rate Fijian and Samoan national sides most likely without their overseas...

I think Timani is starting to come good again. I have no problems with his selecion. Horne is in the same boat, starting to play well, but I suspect he'll be behind McCabe, A.Fainga'a and Ashley-Cooper for the center positions......but then again Deans Factor

Agree with all of this. Cowan and Greg Holmes are both playing way ahead of Ma'afu. I seriously don't understand his selection. If Deans wants a good scrummaging rock who doesnt do much else he's got Palmer, no need for another one. And currently Mowen, Auelua, Jones, Fardy, Hodgson, Shatz >>...

Vuna has actually been playing well of late. I would have also had Nick Cummins in the squad, but at the expense of another outside back like Morahan, Shipperely or Mogg. Vuna is a proven finisher, he knows how to score tries, something we lack without Drew Mitchell.

I said that to agree with him so it didn't sound like I was talking out of my arse....maybe something you should work on

Not fucking Ma'afu, god dammit he is useless. Can't complain with the rest, the locks were a hard one as Slim alluded to. Jones and Fardy would of been close for the spots Neville and Douglas got. Ben Lucas is unlucky, might be ruled out due to injury though? Foley is a bolter but a decent...

Shit you're getting stuck in early mate..... I LIKE IT! haha

Edit: I did have a statement adding to and agreeing with what you said, but apparently that offended Rugbyfan too much.

It also comes down to Slipper probably starting against Scotland, meaning Alexander will probably get the bench spot against Wales. It'll be the second Welsh test before we know the answer to this. Personally I see Slipper as a slightly better player than Alexander in most aspects of the game...

Sean Cox (Easts, QLD) was called in to the side as he recovered from his hand injury, but got severly injured in the Samoan game. Looks to be out for the season with a shoulder reconstruction now. Gutted for the bloke.

Easts vs Wests at Bottomely Park Very nice day for rugby in Brisbane for this weekends fixtures, a bit cold but nothing to deter people away, which was evident as a suprisingly large crowd gathered for this one. Pre-match entertainment was quality, as a couple of u6 sides battled it out, the...

Hating on the Sharks right now, keep pulling wins out of their arses.

Heard word that Matt Lucas has signed a 2 year deal. He's Ben Lucas' little brother, and the same mould of player except more of a halfback then 10. Plays for Sunnnybank (QLD), National Academy and the 7's whilst he will go on his second Aus u20's trip later.

Shipperely and Harris are in the squad. 12 or so Reds players

I've heard that when Lucas re-signed, it was under the impression Genia was 100% gone and he would be the premier half-back for QLD. Bet he'd be a little shitted off you'd imagine, but IMO he is our best fullback and second best fly half so he will constantly be a member of the starting side.
