Nice self burn Wamb. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Also interesting that you've dumped English Entirely. Regardless, I reckon we can look at the typical Force backline of: 9. Ruru 10. Lance 11. Peni 12. Meakes 13. Rona 14. Morahan 15. DHP Then if we get Lance, Meakes & DHP as suggested, it potentially looks like this: 9. Genia 10. Lance 11...

You win some you lose some. Metcher just always seemed injured: while Moloney looked competent but never really threatened Ah-Nau for that bench place, then Fereti came over the top by seizing his opportunity. That group of front rowers is particularly solid though: and if...

Ainsley is the only one of the above that I hadn't considered yet. Not sure about that. Good player. Probably prefer Vui personally if we're going for the tighthead side. Rest looks fine. Maybe Horwitz before Maddocks for experience and/or fly half cover.

Maybe. Lots of International 10s in and about the Prem. Lots of Coaches preferring players who really should be centers for the purpose of International Rugby (Mallinder, Slade etc.) As either first stringers or backups too. It's a very strange environment. Particularly when someone like...

Nice to see Trevor Hosea win the best team man for the schoolboys. Definitely a numbers game with boys 22ish and under, and the more Vic boys in the frame the better. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Part time 7s works, but the sheer distances and SH season times make it nearly impossible for Australia. I'd still like to see them get allocated to NRC sides. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Reckon they should all just start defending in their proper positions again, a la Bled 2.

Think it's Siliva. EMF might be rested. For a boy of his size he's only not played 80mins in game 1 I think. While Ha'angana missed last week through injury, and I think he's not yet recovered. Pure speculation on my part though.

Alex Toolis back for the Rising this week anyhow. Good news for next year regardless of any other recruits, as much as we like Ha'angana and the other youngsters, big experienced bodies who can actually make an impact (I've never seen a man of Retallicks physical presence be so ineffective on...

Consistency is exactly what we need. Putting aside that brief period from ~mid 2013 to mid 2014 where Hegarty was numero uno, the mercurial fly half has consistently been preferred over the one that shows a cooler head. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Maybe. It would pretty much be the only rational explaination as to why he thought QC (Quade Cooper) needed to be in Olympic 7s squad with a single tournament under his belt where he was maybe outside the bottom 2 or 3 performers. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

KAOP is weirdly obsessed with QC (Quade Cooper). Best to ignore, particularly as Foley was far from worst on, and probably in amongst the top 5 Wallabies in this game. Overall, some good, some bad, some lucky, some unlucky. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Whose idea was it to have the Melbourne team play on the AFL Grand Final Day and at roughly the same time? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Every week we comment on it, but it's such a ridiculously young side the Rising are putting out each week. Lloyd the only one over 30 (potentially the only one over 26, I'm not hyper aware of the club boys ages, and a huge number are in that 18-23 year old group. Another quality challenge for...

That you wish Wessells had been vindictive, going overseas and taking Coleman and as many other Force players as he could with him? Not too hard to figure out. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Makes a lot of sense from a Munster perspective. Not sure why they'd be interested in Wessells above anyone else, particularly given the quality of other Coaches that are becoming a regular occurrence in the Pro14. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I'm not saying keep lower quality players because they were here already. I'm thinking more along the lines of, if our longstanding and fundamentally Super Rugby quality players like English & Colby start missing out on gametime to similar quality players. Or if the boys who're currently...

Fox Sports suggesting Wessells wants a further 10+ players from the Force. Yeah, this was part of my worry. I don't want to be the transplanted Force. I don't mind, and am excited to have 6-8 players inclusive of Daley and Faulkner to complement our other new recruits, youngsters and small...

I'm gonna say, 5. 5 more Force players, for 7 total. The HP bros, Lance, Coleman and Hardwick. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
