Yeah, Robertson does a lot of the real grunt work very well. Lots of hit-ups in close, lost of tackles, lots of clean-outs. Because he doesn't make any big barnstorming runs a lot of people don't rate him. He scrummaged pretty well too, the only scrum penalty against the Tahs came on Kepu's side.

I'd like to see Tom Robbo move back to THP (where he started), with Kepu going HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) and Robbo would be a pretty good pair of young starting props

Reds by 1 to 3 on form

Robertson and Uelese are both just returning from long injury lay-offs, so comments as to whether they should/shouldn't be in the squad are a bit premature. I think both could find their way into the squad if they can really hit the ground running, but both have some ground to make up, and a...

You seem to be a bit selective on RA's values. One that you seem to be avoiding is the concept that rugby be an inclusive game. Having your highest profile employee stating that certain groups of people are going to hell hardly fits with the inclusive value. This is an employment issue, RA have...

I don't get this argument that the Tahs are 'the best side on paper'. At this moment, there are only two Tahs likely to be in the run-on Wallabies side (Foley & Hooper) and neither of them will be there if you take any notice of half the posters on this site. Then maybe (and only maybe) Simmons...

While I agree in the ideal world all wallabies would be strong defenders, in the real world it just isn't so, particularly players whose main attribute is ball skills and game management. While not suggesting for a second that Foley or Cooper are in the same category as 10's, neither B Barrett...

BH, I disagree on the Meakes try. It was a loose ball, to try to retrieve it was the right decision, it was really a lucky try imo.

I thought Newsome was one of our best last week, don't mind Clark at all but I rate Newsome ahead of him. Not sure re Foketi/AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) certainly more reliable, but Foketi probably offers more upside in attack.

I see where you are coming from BR, it's been pretty mixed from the Tahs this year. Having said that, there have been some good moments (mostly in the second half) topped, of course, with the win over the Saders. If you were a Tahs player and looking for momentum, I would be looking at 16-0 in...

Not much of a game to watch, but considering the conditions the tactics of kicking for position and playing in the opposition's half made sense. I'm sure a lot of the same people criticising all the kicking would be criticising the Tahs for trying to run the ball out of their half against a kiwi...

I think we can forget about the whole free speech thing, because it's not really the point. As I see it, anyone has the right to go on social media and say my business stinks, it's unethical, lazy, deceptive etc etc, as long as they don't specifically lie or make defamatory statements that are...

Sadly a loss, but a very good 60 minute performance from the Tahs. What was going on in the first 20 I don't know, I counted 6 Tah errors in the first 6 minutes (Phipps kick out on the full, dropped balls, stupid penalties) and thought they might put 80 on us. Then things turned around, and we...

I am at a loss to comprehend how missing a game in the beginning of April has any remote connection to how fresh a bloke is in September. Perhaps some of you sports scientists can help me out here.

I think with Holloway out Simmons has to start, to get a spell later on. You could always start Hanigan at lock and Swinton at 6, but with another three locks in the squad, being McCauley, Staniforth and Roets, surely one of them is ready to step up. I know Phipps has plenty of haters on this...

Could we see the big Saffa this week if Holloway is out?

Saders are going to make Winx look like an outsider on Saturday!!!

Closing two hospitals on the northern beaches was way overdue. My father spent a lot of his last year in Mona Vale hospital, it was literally held together with duct tape! When they got a decent easterly rainfall, patients were all crowded into the western side of the corridor as the eastern...

I will repeat my earlier comment, the Tahs desperately lacked energy last week, I believe Phipps delivers that. On the other hand, I would have definitely started Hunt.

Gibson has stuck to a number of grossly underperforming players. I hope they repay his faith! Personally, I think it sends the wrong message, but we will see.
