Same, but replace "whoever is playing NSW" instead of underdog :P

Just a random thought about having depth growth in Aus, and in relation to ACT Crusaders point about NZ B sides playing, would developing an u20 Australian comp before the start of the Brisbane and Sydney Premier Comps be a smart investment long term? I know money issues ect. But they have the...

Yes don't worry as soon as I posted that I knew at least one Tahs fan would single out my error. Sorry precious.

Now thats the advantage every Australian side could use!

I can understand people pushing claims for Palmer, fair enough he is a good scrummager. There are arguements for and against him playing. But then you said Alexander is above Slipper. Benny A has not been up to the same level as Kepu, Slipper and Palmer this season. Hence why people have even...

Lets put it this way, you'd be saying Palmer was useless if he played for QLD and Slipper would be gods gift to scrummaging if he was at the Brumbies.

Slipper is only percieved as a poor scrummager due to who he has next to him and behind him. Daley,Hanson and Horwill are not good in the scrummaging department. He is on level with Kepu as a scrummager, pair him with Moore and Robinson and you will see him prosper.

They also said Samo and Robinson will start, so we can't be sure how reliable that is :P

Where are the Kings based? And whose their CC feeder clubs? Is it safe to assume alot of Lions players will be picked up by them?

I retract my previous statement.

Agree in regards to the front row. Yes Palmer is a good scrummager, but he is still shithouse around the field in comparison to Slipper and Kepu, who are pretty good scrummagers in their own right aswell.

It just occured to me that UJ Seuteni has been playing pre-season games down at Easts. So he must be available for selection this week?

Won't be seeing Shipperely, Davies or Morahan with ball in hand then.

I would actually rather seen Shipperely at 13. Just because Digby has that ball hog mentality, and i dont think he has the ability to make the correct defensive reads.

When did Josh Parry get back? Also is Jordie Tupou back from 7's because he is definatly our best openside. Quirky might play if the Reds don't select him. Shame that Sean Cox is injured, he had been tearing up pre-season. Although from what I've heard Sam Cox hasn't been playing that great...

Good to see the article in the Courier Mail today with all the captains. Interesting Matt Brandon announced Easts captain, Bertini not coming back?

in reference to the Lions, it's more or less the talent they are brining through and/or have. Force have a host of wallabies and the Rebels have a few good young players (Jones, Pyle, Kingi ect). The Lions on the other hand really dont have any Springbok contenders, with their best players (such...

You know how everyone thinks sides like the Rebels and Force are shithouse? The Lions make them look like the All Blacks

Don't worry I was suprised as you are. I don't think Rene posses the linking skills and defensive reads necessary for outside center.

Didn't you watch your own team last week? Stanley #11 and Ranger #13
