With a bit of luck they will be back to their inconsistent norm when they take on a depleted students outfit next week ;)

Bit harsh, Noddy. I don't think you can blame the loss to the Canes on Shaw alone. He was a factor in both those games, but so were others. The real problem with the Reds this year is lack of depth, not problems with one individual. He is still very young for a S14 forward and has some talent. I...

And Dennis, Caldwell, Charles, Inman, McAlman, Yanuyanutawa, Tilse and maybe Weeks. McCutcheon will be around but playing 7s. Davidson should be back next week and Trist has had 2 games in 2nds after his knee recon. While they have been out young blokes like Roberson,Ryan, Carter, McDuling...

SUFC logo hasn't changed since 1200BC when the club was formed (the birthplace!), although the University logo did this year.

Wests beat Manly at Manly, Penrith beat Warringah and Souths over Randwick at Coogee. What is going on?

All good questions, Lee. I'll do my best. Charles is very skilful and good with ball in hand. Likes to have a run and usually does pretty well. Good defender, solid scrummager and reliable at line out time. He is only 21 and is developing into a fine hooker. Would not surprise if he played for...

Actually, at the start of the season he was 4th string behind Hegarty who was starting in most of the Brumbies Runners game with Charles on the bench. Funny what can happen in a couple of weeks. It will also be interesting to see what happens when he comes back to Uni. The battle between him and...

You're right FP. I know some kids (from Bruce's fine institution) who will do (have done) whatever it takes to be a pro rugby player, and the studies just get put on hold for a while. I'm sure Mitch Inman, Ben McAlman and Nathan Charles don't regret heading over west for a semester (although...

Like Noddy said, it's because there's still a question mark over Fatcat. Hopefully he will be OK.

Yep, he was. He has been 1sts Colts 5/8 for the last couple of years and has been in the Aus 7s squad. Last week was his first game back after a serious ankle injury. Dan Kelly played 5/8 last week but injured his knee and is out for a while. Uni are really struggling with a lot of injuries as...

I suspect Burgess will be back at 9 for the tahs this weekend. The next 2 games may determine his Wallaby chances, although there aren't too many contenders sticking their hands up for the number 2 spot.

Scrubber: Size is a "how long is a piece of string type question". Probably about 110 is a minimum, but an extra 10 kgs of lard doesn't help anyone. Good THPs are usually squatter with fat arses but not always. Carl Hayman did alright and he was 193cm. When Trevor Woodman was coaching at Uni a...

Well the students are 1 from 4 (and the 1 was Parra!). Tough match against the Rats at Rat Park. Once again a very young Uni team, especially in the forwards with 2 20yo locks and a backrow made up of 2 20yos and an 18yo. Ben Roberts and Paddy Ryan were the only forwards with any 1st grade...

I refuse to read Growden these days. He has committed the sport writer's cardinal sin. He thinks it's all about him. Prat.

3. BA 2. Gits 1. Rocky What is going on with that MRI Amanda? That don't look good.

Kennedy was absolutely butchered. And that happened before he lost his starting 2nd rowers. Holmes must start. I would be concerned about even having Kennedy on the bench. They have to at least be competitive at the set piece to be a chance.
