Hmmmmm , i wont bite but i know there will bd comments.

Kotoni Ale - Captain. Welcome back

Not fussed - we have Tilse, he's now a seasoned veteran.

Gee Manly 3's very solid this year - are we seeing a house being built? The big Vaka Manu returns from OS to lock the scrum and cause some mid field damage.

Mike Ala'alatoa could be lost to NZ rugby for good? But we are lucky, we kept Jeremy Tilse;)

I like Hodge at 12.

I'm not sure how much watching of development you have undertaken with that comment, or understood my suggestion. Hodge has 2 years in the Aus 20's A year out injured, Then after one year worked hard and is a Soup starter. If it was RWC year I wouldn't have suggested it, if it was the RC I...

Given some might say we are in RWC growth phase, and it's the mid year tests - you mentioned Hodge, I'd actually like to see how he went at 12. It is that balance between planning, and winning.

Ah yes always a battle over there, and the year before a cyclone arrived and blew a field goal over after the bell for Easts to take it.

That's a pretty good squad you selected. I'd have Holloway at 8 he has been playing very well for the Tahs. I rate Bergelin highly so maybe him at 6, and Dempsey at 7 - it's make for a pretty dynamic back row. I haven't seen enough of Dempsey to pass fair judgement. My first choice lock out...

Not far off, and all the Stallions will be out to impress the filly's at the best Ladies day of the Shute Shield.

Any news on who the coach is?

Early one. Id look at including Bergelen & Kotoni in the back row (some how). Then there is Sam Ward who arrived back last week. I prefer Turner on the wing. Is Jones at Rays or the new Stars? Id also throw Matt Lucas in as first choice 9. All very very interesting.

And Tony Abbott was in the army yesterday.

Okay re watched it, great seeing a score line that reflected the closeness of the game (and this year’s comp), not going to dissect it but - each team had some points left on the paddock. Dennis Pil-Gaitau, & Junior Palau were creating stress for the Rats for most of the 80 minutes, and...

Yeah how good was that.

As you posted just saw the Dennis Pilli Giteau try that wasnt given because the ref didnt see. If we had video ref it would have been awarded. Close tuff game though.

Hearing the crowd was a tad over 7,000 down at the Village Green yesterday, how good is that, and with the early start missed 3's & 4's. With the Rats taking all 4 grades against the Wiks a week earlier it was going to be a Club Battle at the Village this weekend - all grades want bragging...

Galah - as illustrated in the photo above the grass roots also holding up the wall. Walked inside and 7Two was showing some great footage of the wall Grass Roots wall ;)

Some of the grass roots holding up that wall that was made famous earlier this year. It is the kids like this that all clubs have that need the focus, and it is comps like the SS that let them get outside and have fun. I'll talk about the game later.
