I am also a fan of "Bubba" Perry, although I haven't seen much of him in the last couple of years. Very aggressive and physical and (like Ben Coridas) had a reputation for going so hard at everything that he often smashed his own players at training causing more than a few "friendly fire" injuries.

Horne injured ?how long Robinson injured 1-2 weeks Kepu injured 4 weeks Caldwell dropped. Will play for Uni this week. Mcaffrey and Alcock dropped from 22 but Alcock to go on tour as 23rd man

My understanding is that TPN injured the shoulder again at training today and is out. Hope I'm wrong.

Things are looking very dodgy for this weekend and perhaps the weekend after. Fatcat out Horne out TPN out ?Caldwell out McCutcheon, Thomson and Tilse on the bench. Alcock and McAffrey not making the trip This could be a real danger game.

I don't have a big problem with his form. He is not at his best, but he's still pretty good. I don't even have a problem with him arguing with the coach. That's going to happen from time to time. What I have a problem with is doing it in front of the team. It means that one (or both) of these...

By "form team" I presume he means S14 form. So how can you pick Alexander at THP when he has played LHP all year? A true "form team" would have Weeks at THP and BA at LHP and Fatcat would miss out, much as it hurts me to say it. Mind you, a couple of weeks off to get over a few niggling injuries...

Re: Oz S15 Squads 2011 Interesting that Jerry Y played 2nds at Uni on the weekend behind the much maligned Tilse. He sat on the bench for 1s but didn't get on. He's still got some work to do at scrum time. He hasn't looked great at LHP since Laurie Weeks headed north. Hard to believe that...

3. Genia (wasn't in my reckoning for points until the last 5mins) 2. Daley (I am a convert. He is the real deal) 1. S Finger

3. Pocock 2. McCalman 1. Inman

3. Waugh 2. Dennis 1. Beale

Newsflash: Robinson and TPN still not right so will not be in the 22 and Tilse and Luke Holmes are on the bench. You read it here first.

Think yourselves lucky. I married a Victorian who loves James Hird and detests cauliflower ears.

From what I hear, Fatcat is a pretty good chance of playing this week, which would mean that Palmer would be on the bench. If he isn't right, Palmer will start at LHP. He did well there against Ma'afu on Sat night, better than Kepu IMO and I would expect him to handle Newlands (Highlanders THP)...

Uni were poor in the 1st half against Souths and let in 2 fairly soft tries with poor goal line defence. They had a few shots at PG which were all missed and went in 19-0 down at half time. This very young side just didn't look up to it. Must have been something in the half time water though...

and Jerry Yanuyanutawa in 2nds as well :nta:

I think you're spot on Noddy. Worried about the depth. But I would have got Leroy off after 60, he was out on his feet. While Link clearly knows what he is doing with THPs I thought he was brave sending Kennedy on for Weeks instead of Holmes even if he does prefer the loose head side. He was...

Quade Cooper was a pretty useful 12/15 in 2005 and 2006 Beau Robinson was a pretty useful 7 in 2004 Dan Palmer 2006 is still the best scrummaging schoolboy prop I have seen Ben McCalman was pretty useful at 6 or 8 in 2005 and 2006

Re: Rebels deadline ends, update here on what you hear. It's good to see that they have a scrum coach at last, and someone with a bit of street cred. I am sure that the lack of a scrum coach up to this point has cost them a couple of good quality young front rowers who have now signed elsewhere.

No idea really. I hope they are better than last year. I don't mind if they lose a couple of games but I hear last year's mob weren't your traditional Joeys side. Poor discipline and maybe a bit big headed was the word. I can't imagine Boydey would let that happen 2 years in a row. Joeys are...

Sorry, it's called the "Joeys reflex".
