I was at the game and didn't think it was all rubbish, although 10mins before half time and 20mins after were a bit ordinary. Positives:ct Set piece was very dominant, esp scrum, but lineout was best for weeks TPN! Hangers! Dean Mumm's running Dave Dennis in tight. Apart from scrum time him...

Is that a send off or just a yellow card?

This is the week for conservative use of the bench! That starting line up looks exciting. Mowen is the only one I would be looking to get on early, probably for Kane Douglas who might run out of steam in fast game like this one promises to be. Dennis into the 2nd row at that time. Holmes if...

For the front rowers, Michael Foley is a big reason to stay at the Tahs. He is a well respected coach. The only reason Palmer left was lack of game time. The Rebels are yet to announce their scrum coach. They have a forwards coach who is a back rower. I'm assuming they'll be getting a specialist...

Mine will be making it's first public appearance at the NSW Country Championships in Newcastle this weekend.

Yep, I was at that game at Knox a couple of weeks ago and was amazed at the ease with which Hux played the game after a couple of years away. He still seemed unflustered at the back with lots of time. Great to see him back, and it will be great to see him in a Uni strip later in the year! I...

I'm pretty sure this is not a money issue. From what I hear most of these guys are being offered more money to move. They're not going because: 1. They're happy with the coaching and structure at the tahs 2. They think the tahs have a reasonable chance of success in S14/S15 3. They think this is...

Hawko, while I agree with a lot of what you are saying and I have been annoyed by Hickey's conservative (to say the least) use of his bench, I think his game day 22 has been pretty right. Have a good look at both Nadolo and Betham before you say they are hard done by. I have seen most of...

Agree that Kepu copped it from Henderson, but that's not surprising. Kepu rarely plays THP, he is a converted backrower who has spent all his time at LHP. In fairness, though, I do remember him carting it up a couple of times and going alright when he did. Not being a regular in the run on makes...

Fair point. He can go on one wing with Mitchell on the other.

3. Ma'afu 2. Rocky 1. Alexander You've gotta love Afoa, Mealamu and Woodcock on roller skates!

Played there a bit for the Rats and goes alright.

1. Alexander ( cleaned up Afoa) 2. TPN 3. Ma'afu (his best scrummaging effort ever) 4. Mumm 5. Douglas/ Sharpe (neither were great but both had a go) 6. Elsom 7. HODGSON!!! 8. Hoiles 9. ??? Sheehan if I have to pick someone 10. Giteau (at least he kicked well) 11. Mitchell 12. JO'C ( at least he...

I think was Kepu was supposed to come off and the touchy got the number wrong.

Palmer did look very good, but unfortunately I don't think he packed down against Henderson at all, only Longbottom. That makes it a bit hard to gauge a scrummaging performance it was. I like his shape, though. He keeps straight and low and just drives straight through them. At least his long...

Re: 2010 NSW Club Rugby Man, that's one tall prop! Robinson would be looking straight at his crackers.

3. Hodgson 2. J O'C 1. Sheehan (when in doubt give points to the Joeys boy)

3. TPN 2. Mitchell 1. Douglas

I think he's ready this year if they need him. When he played Shute Shield last year he went well against Pek Cowan, Nic Henderson and Kepu. I think he actually outscrummed Kepu in the GF. He had a great battle with Jerry Yanuyanu in the JWs v Runners game the other day. He's got bigger and...
