I wonder if the last couple of months have convinced the QRU that they need Quade more than they need Will, and that they can't keep them all.

Hell yes, play him till he breaks.

I like the concept of the Force not imploding, so I kind of like this. The reds have been picking three 9s in their match day 22, they'll survive, and Genia can have some sort of pay day in Australia.

I thought Genia's kicking was very good, including the box kicks. (Harris not finding touch with penalties though - sheesh). The reds chase on those kicks substandard. They lack for a useful chaser who will compete for the high ball. Davies and Morahan struggle to judge and then get to where...

Oh, and 'luckily' by having consecutive tests in a few days, there will be ample opportunity to run alternatives to Palu. He's struggling to play an hour a week. But I think he deserves and we are better with him.

I think Deans is well aware how Lilo and White are going. Actually, he said just that last week. I think also he will be reluctant to start too many debutants at once and he will want to avoid a samoa style disaster at all costs. White will surely be the reserve 9 and he should get significant...

This is on the cards, I think.

He is intelligent, well-spoken, polite and fair. He wants to help those less fortunate than himself. I would be very surprised, that sounds like no politician I know.

Unless I have it completely backwards Deans predicted last week we would see B. Foley at 10 (and Barnes at 15) for the Waratahs by the end of the season. It seems logical enough? How does he go there for Uni and is he a serious option in 2013? (I have a little stash of Robbie Deans comments...

Annual knee reconstructions will put a dent in your career.

The whole thing is untidy, but is it going to be any other way when Graham had the choice of waiting to be boned or loking for a job? I have no inside knowledge of the force but Waylon's comments ring true, I doubt that there were many tears in the West. So in that sense, meh. They didn't like...

He looked pretty dangerous to the reds chances, for the most part.

Please, someone make him stop. Resentment? I'll show you resentment.

There is no game plan that will survive 1) falling off tackles 2) giving ground every phase through sluggish line speed in defence and 3) simple errors that turn possession over (Genia caught behind the ruck, Harris kicking out on the full, the chip kicks, and the costly failure to convert...

"I'm the fucking Captain/Coach" Kill two birds with one stone.

of halfbacks, to boot.

He was preaching to a reds congregation. Having said that after samoa I'm sure he will want to keep some consistency in the line-up and bring in new faces off the bench rather than risk too many new players. No prep time = rely on existing combinations.

Slipper is still having trouble with his shoulder, apparently. I'd be suprised to see him in green and gold in the near future. Maybe the break in the super season will do him some good.

RD was asked in Brisbane last night what his wallabies 15 might be if picked tomorrow. This is my recollection of what he said: 1-3 waratahs front row combo, emphasis on combinations 4-5 Sharpe/Horwill (c) 6-8 Higginbotham/Pocock/Palu - Higgers doing more of the hard graft this year, Pocock...
