Kingi is miles better at fullback than he is on the wing. Woodward scored two tries last week and could have had at least one more. It's a no-brainer. A lot of teams are playing one wing almost as a second fullback these days, don't be surprised to see Kingi and Woodward swapping around a fair bit.

Hooper was nigh on the best player in the world last year and you don't even want him in the squad? Professional sport is cruel.

My title was better! Not really surprised to be honest, Quade would have to be absolutely slaying to earn a spot I reckon. I find it genuinely encouraging that he's looking at Lilo and White. Still waiting for the inevitable moment when Dennis, Ma'afood, Kepu et al. are picked though.

Is Robbie ruling out Quade? Okay, he doesn't say exactlyyy that but it's not far off. http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-sport/quade-cooper-out-of-wallabies-picture-20130410-2hl57.html

We do and he is.

Roberts was completely fine at fullback on his debut. He was utterly competent. Turns out he can't run a backline in the Soup just yet, that's fine - it's a big step up from the Shute Shield. Throwing him out completely does his confidence no good at all. If he can't be in the XV, he deserves to...

Kingi was the first choice 9 last year until he broke and Phipps took his spot. Hill hasn't seen fit to swap things back. He's been pushed into playmaking roles late in games a couple of times. He does okay, but he does try and force things a bit more than he should. I'd like to see him at 10...

Bret Harris was talking up McCutcheon for the Wallabies the other week. He's got about as much credibility as Growden.

Henderson has absolutely spudded the place up this year. Would be close to the worst player in the competition. Haven't heard great things about Sexton so I'm not hanging a lot of hope on him. We desperately need an acceptable loosehead though. I've been very happy with PAE so far, and he's...

Pathetic. Grow up and start having a look at your own team.

Wibble. Weird game. Could have gone either way. Shit happens sometimes.

This. It's the problem I have with Simmons as well. You know he's going to be good for at least a couple of mindless penalties a game. Not effective enough at the ruck either.

Sounds about right Arthur, tallies with what I've heard. Interesting to see actual numbers though.

That is an absolute joke team, what a clown. Force by 20. Hill out.

I agree with that, but I do think they need to mix up the scheduling a bit too. Have to try a few different things. A Saturday night game, Sunday afternoon. At least give it a go and see if it makes a difference.

Yep. That is word for word what I said. The majority of people down here know that Rugby and League are different sports. The problem is they don't really care about either of them.

No. No he can't. Kimlin is having a good season, but he's just on the same level as Vito at the moment.

That actually isn't true.

Fair enough on Auelua, I was thinking he's the closest like-for-like replacement for Palu we've got. On recent form I'd argue he's an upgrade, but it is hard to know how Soup form will translate to Tests. I think Hooper is going to get better as the season goes on. He had a immense and...

NEVER EVER EVER EVER Seriously though, I will cry if this happens.
