Burgess>all waratah halfbacks

I get what your saying........some of it anyway my exercise science degree is in the mail. But this conversational point makes me wonder who would be the fastest player in premier rugby? and have they ever tested it before in something like a reds halftime show.? I know they do this with the...

Mentioned article it was Mogg who beat him.... http://www.theaustralian.com.au/spo...-and-just-as-hot/story-e6frg7o6-1226563774316

definitely agree with rasolea he is a hot tip to be in the force 22 and looked the goods in trials. On the matter of cox being the fastest in the Brumbies squad, I am pretty sure I actually read the other day that he was beaten or that someone other than him had clocked the fastest time, I will...

I actually think that AWH is a lot more potent in contact and ball in hand than given credit for........the man is no shrinking violet. I believe he was offered a position for the Australian squad but was trying to get his body 100% hence why he didn't play premier grade either

Saia needs to stand up and be accounted for this weekend as Hanson isn't just banging on the door to start he is ripping the door off his hinges and crushing it

couldnt find anything....it will be interesting to see how they cover the loss of sonny bill and taumalolo who where two of their biggest offensive threats. I personally can't see the chiefs making th efinal let alone going back to back. I think NZ teams to watch are the Highlanders and the...

OK, i think we are all just little upset cause I said quirk won't get contract renewal andhe is easts golden son. It's not a slight on him i just don't think he has done that much to be banging on the door for one and i can't see his game furthering much from where it is. Maybe at another...

That statement just shows you missed the point of that discription Don't be like that baby i can change?

My bad i meant premier grade. Its not a blind statement, even at premier level i would suggest ah wong and browning have dominated more than quirk did during his time there. Quirk debuted alot earlier than higgin botham but by two years in to his career and a similar amount of caps...

Maybe you right but lets be honest what other teams? The force? definitely not. Waratahs? highly unlikely considering the backrow talent they have comign through. Rebels? maybe but they are already on struggle street to cater their current backrow stocks. Which leaves the brumbies which is...

Think about it without being all defensive for your fellow tigerman. When I say he an cut it i mean yeah he is serviceable he can make some tackle get a yard or two but he is dispensable. Similar to Poutasi Luafutu he could fill the gap but that is all he was and so is quirk. The reds didn't...

ANyword on how he played in the trials?

Players like Higginbotham and dare i say cooper will struggle to be succesful under deans.

Australia has always had the issue of knocking each other out of contention

I think quirk will be lucky to have his contract renewed next time around. I am not sayign he isnt up to super 15 but he isnt offering anything that isn't easily found in other players and ah wong and brownning by all reports are shaping up as rampant ball runnners which is what we will need...

Perhaps they are trialing Simmons at TH in case the need for AWH to come on ever arises? The forward pack is solid but really seems to be missing the zing of previous years with no samo or higginbotham.......and this forward pack also raises the question of what is to happen come line out time...

Precisely. One of the major problems with deans backrow selections (and probably selections in general) is tha the doesnt look to balance his team most of the time. You can't use a (looser) player like higginbotham at 6 and force him to play agaisnt a tighter game and then get your biggest...

I think it was mentioned when he went from league to union at begginign 2011 but not anymore, i was acutally surprised he had gotten a tonga cap to be honest as i hadnt seen his name on team lists for a while. how old is he now anyway?
