Dave McDuling knocking about for Canterbury- I wonder if one of the Super Rugby sides will pick him up. Bit of a journeyman but a pretty solid lock. I know the Force are short a lock or two. Matt Philip over for Southland or Otago or something too.

Don't often agree with Slim, but he has that one well covered. Inman and Fainga'a have no future with the Wallabies and you'd be clutching at straws to suggest they are likely to do a better all round job that Hodge or Godwin. I don't think Inman/Fainga'a would complement a likely Kuridrani or...

You'd think that anyone who places a listening device is pretty serious to the point that it wouldn't be easily found. You would also think if you plant one, why not plant several? You would also think that if one was found, they would look for others and since others haven't been reported it...

Then stop warehousing talented players.

Speak for yourself.

That's certainly true. That is where I hope the NRC would take up some slack. I don't feel like Lacey ever really got the chance to prove himself- even in the NRC.

Locals say his attitude sucks. Don't know myself, but you are right it is a shame. Maybe the new coach will pick him up? We lost Corey Thomas in the same way. Terrible waste.

So redstragic, do we put the warning out to the Lions or to his team mates. Hey the Reds could be like Soviet Russia in WW2 with Moore tonking his team mates if they don't go forward/cross the gainline. I'd pay to see that.

Not that I have an opinion one way or the other, but those stats don't include line-outs lost. Not all line-outs lost are steals. They don't even tell half the story.

I thought it might have been due to restrictions in Super Rugby player numbers. I count at least 18 in that Vikings squad. Maybe Lolo and Chris would be two too many. The competition has to stay competitive and the Vikings have the potential to roll out a pretty unbeatable pack. I know winning...

Is that Adrian Hall from WA?

So he is- my bad. Mixed him up with someone else. I'd imagine Eric Vasu will play on the wing then.

So.. Props: Pek Cowan, Jermaine Ainsley, Mees Erasmus, Beau King, Laione Mulikihaamea, Shambeckler Vui Hookers: Harry Scoble, Anaru Rangi, Heath Tessman Locks: Adam Coleman, Riley Winter, Grayson Knapp, Ross Haylett-Petty, Brad Campbell Blindsides: Richard Hardwick, Brynard Stander Opensides...

I'm lovin' it. Mmmmmmmmmm.

Wouldn't be terrible. There was a bit of dissent from players toward him at the RWC 2011 and England were terrible there. Might just be them. Like the idea of our head coach having plenty of experience as an attack coach. Would prefer Wisemantel- looked over the resume and it gave a better...

I'm hoping we can move Tapuai in one for Godwin and stick Meakes at 13. If Jono Lance stays fit, we have a serviceable backline next season.

I'd be spitting chips if he was.

I think that fell through. Think Sorovi is staying in the east. The Force will probably pick up Michael Ruru from the local club comp but maybe they'll leave that up to the new coach.

I think he played junior rugby at 8 and the Force were looking to convert him into a Nemani Nadolo type winger. Played a couple of Spirit games on the wing last year and was pretty reasonable for a 19 year old. Was a handful for a couple of teams. This year I noticed that they have been playing...

We are praying that the old school tie comes out and it becomes "jobs for the boys" again and that we will actually end up getting the best candidate. I think the positive thing for both the Reds and the Force is that we probably* can't do any worse than the two coaches we started the season...
