    Crusaders v Reds (Rnd 13)

    2 were just good reads by the Saders. That is the first game I've watched and completely agreed with Genia's critics. He was terrible tonight. Meandering to the break down, literally standing half a meter away from rucks watching the Saders pick up our ball, slow ball WITH players already set...

    QLD Premier Rugby 2015

    In fairness TT I don't think SheepsSheepsSheeps was having a go and neither was I. Just an observation that you are the highest commentator on here, often have an opinion or ten and go into ridiculous detail or off on perceived random tangents. I've got to say I've learnt a lot, about people I...

    Haha I have often wondered this.... TT is also very good at answering questions no one has asked!

    Crusaders v Reds (Rnd 13)

    That was going to be my next question/point. I would have said Mozza, Naivalu and Tomane were the quickest. Speight isn't looking as quick as he has previously. Naivalu looks like he has exceptional acceleration.

    Crusaders v Reds (Rnd 13)

    Interesting hey, back then we had probably 2 of the 3 quickest rugby players in Aus(if not super rugby)... Rocket Rod and Mozza. Both lightning, we were pretty spoiled with their pace. It is definitely something our current squad lacks. None of our outside backs have that genuine pace, JOC (James O'Connor) may...

    Wallaby 31 players for 2015 RWC

    I call bullshit on people saying the try was due to poor defence. Before Drew was injured he was one of the quickest, most powerful(acceleration) and best balanced runners/wingers in world rugby. He showed all of that plus some great lines, against one of the best club teams in the world, for...

    Wallaby 31 players for 2015 RWC

    I've always thought Drew would be a top pick for the squad... see how he performs in the lead up as to weather he makes the 23. Anyone who has been watching that comp would have seen he has regained his pace and has a tremendous boot on him now days. He also has a very good rugby brain which...

    Unfortunately yes.... hope you guys aren't planning on stinging us $5 for our own home game.

    Brumbies v Waratahs, round 12, Friday 1 May

    I'll admit that I found that picture humorous(due to the visually comedic nature of the image) however I thought the act was very disrespectful. I don't think I'm overreacting... I said it reflects poorly on him. As a number of other posts have said as well. I haven't said "drop him" or...

    Brumbies v Waratahs, round 12, Friday 1 May

    Good tough, physical game tonight.... nice to see our teams capable of that in a WC year. Personally I think the Brumbies lost it rather than Tahs won it. Left a few try scoring opportunities out there. However Tahs were gutsy and tenacious, never gave up. The Hooper v Pocock debate is...

    With regards to the lack of premierships from Uni's middle/lower grades IMO it's a mixture of what CAT, RH and The Big Dog have been saying above. The major differences are: Quite often it is a case of young men playing seasoned men in grades 1-4. For example the UQ 2nd grade back line last...

    Reds 2015

    The reality is that next year, and more than likely the year after that, the Reds are going to be in a rebuilding phase again. Plenty of new players and a new coach (hopefully). Losing Frisby will not be the end. Losing Kerevi would be a far bigger loss IMO looking at who we will have as centre...

    Reds 2015

    Mate I get the impression Duncan is a fair way down the pecking order. Dalgleish was starting ahead of him at the recent U20s tournament. I'd think one of them will be left out of the Aus 20s... from all reports the NSW U20 flyhalves were very good.

    Reds 2015

    Couldn't agree more Ruggo, Reds Happy and Hammertime. There is a lot to be said about Lucas' departure which paints the QRU and Reds recruitment in very bad light. One of either Lucas, Harris(never going to happen) or Lance needed to be kept on the books and used as many NZ teams use their...

    QLD Premier Rugby 2015

    I was down at UQ for these games and had a bit of a yarn with their coach and players. Lack of numbers was obviously brought up(however they always struggle a bit more away from home). The main reasons were players being targeted by Sunnybank/Soufs, away game and the new players levy. They have...

    QLD Premier Rugby 2015

    Apologies I Meant U20s and and u21 comp which changed in 2000 to U19. Don't quote me on then u21 finished but there definitely used to be a comp for that just prior to the u19 change. Remember the club discussing it but was just before my time.

    QLD Premier Rugby 2015

    This changed in Oz in 2000 I believe. Used to be u19 & u21. It's a tough one, go much more than u19s and you can have a huge size differential. Issue then is you have 19/20 year olds playing against opens after colts. We had an unofficial Under 21/20 team after our colts years for transition...

    Hagan has gone to Easts?! Man that is a big pickup... he was very good for UQ a couple of years back. No doubt a season or 2 over in NZ has continued his development. Wish he had come back to the Heavies.

    QLD Premier Rugby 2015

    Played Prem Grade. His scrumaging was quite good against a uni pack which lost their hooker just before kick off and a prop about 5 mins in. But still had a reasonable front row. His work around the park was alright, he was stopped in his tracks most times by good uni defense. Once or twice he...
