Reading the Herald during the week I thought Hanigan was still out, but Simmons was back. I would like to see Bell, Abel, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes), Simmons, Tafa, Swinton, Hooper, Dempsey, Short, Harrison, Ramm, Moeroa, Hunt, Maddocks, Beale, Res: Fitzpatrick, O'Connor, Talakai, Staniforth, Holloway, McDonald...

Wamberal, there are a couple of additional responsibilities for the board beyond those you mention. Importantly, the Board appoints the CEO, and the CEO reports to and is responsible to the board. Secondly, the board, with the assistance of senior management, sets the overall strategy. It is...

Look, I'm still a Tahs supporter and always will be. And I wasn't expecting finals this year. What I was hoping for was effort, demonstration that with a year or two under their belt, this could be a really competitive team. The bit we saw against the Crusaders (let's face it, the best...

Chiefs 43 - Wolves 17, Chiefs 51 - Tahs 14!

I don't see how people keep selecting Jordan Uelese. I agree he looked good in a couple of starts three years ago, but how many games of first class rugby has he played over the last two years? Surely he must get back on the paddock and string a few good games together before we consider him a...

Don't know if I can watch this, it will potentially ruin the rest of my week. The people who tune in will be those who slow down to look at a car crash.

Look, you're probably right Molman, but I was just totally pissed off with the complete capitulation on Friday night. When the Chiefs came out and put on two quick tries after the break, the heads dropped, the attitude turned to shit and most of them just went through the motions. And that...

Yep, against the Rebels!

Positives for the Tahs in 2020: Harrison, Bell, Hooper, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) Negatives: Everyone and everything else! Someone talking about mathematical probabilities for the finals??? The overriding question is, can we avoid the wooden spoon?

I'll join in Dismal, for me it's Tahs v Brumbies. For a very big part of my life it was NSW v Qld, but that was before Super Rugby. Once the Brumbies started to succeed, and jumped on the 'what legends we are, a tiny population but beating the two big guys' bullshit, despite the fact that 90% of...

I'm trying to recall any evidence that Uelese is the best scrummaging hooker in Aus? Up until 12 months ago that was clearly Taf, but now I think all of Mafi, Faainga and BPA are probably contenders for that gig, without a standout.

Usually does, but not this particular Hanigan! Can give you that on good authority, used to play footy with his uncle.

Thought it had gone unnoticed :)

On the bright side, I do spell Hanigan with one 'n'! (I could have shown off with Nawaqatinawase)

What's the availability of Gordon & Mark N (Nawaqanitawase)? If Simmonds is out, should Holloway start at lock or McAuley? If Gordon is out, I imagine Short starts and Donaldson debuts off the bench. And I wonder whether Ramm gets to start in place of Mark N (Nawaqanitawase), or either Clarke comes in or Newsome moves out one...

Harrison wasn't too bad. He kicked the easy one, nailed one of ones from the sideline and missed a couple from the sideline (one glanced the upright). Needs to keep working on it but not too bad. Beale on the other hand had two sitters from his three, and he was lucky to get them between the...

Well, that surprised me. Perhaps as much as anything else the aggression, line speed and accuracy in defence, a real attitude turn-around from a fortnight ago. Attack was also much more accurate, passing was better, handling better (sure, much better conditions), players running onto the ball...

Your spot on about the difference between a good player and a good coach. Some of this country's best coaches (Dwyer, MacQueen, Jones) weren't extraordinary players.

Some expression about continuing to do the same thing and expecting a different result???????:(

Everything here makes sense to me (as it would, it's virtually my team from page 1) except Newsome. I don't want to be too hard on the guy, at times last year he played pretty good rugby, but his two games this year have been diabolical. Still, I'm not at training, and I'm not the one giving...
