Whoops. Replace bench Hodge with Kerevi.

I would like to see Cheika take a couple of back line risks at the selection table: Sio, Moore, Kepu, Coleman, Douglas, Fardy, Hooper, Timani, Genia, Cooper, Speight, Hodge, Folau, Naivalu, DHP RES: Hanson, Slipper, Robertson, Arnold, Houston/Reid/McCalman, Phipps, Hodge, Kuridrani

I would prefer: Genia, Cooper, Hodge, Kerevi, Folau, Naivalu, Dane HP

Great post Highlander in regards to the Melbourne context, but may I add I would still have liked to have seen Dan Hawkins given another year in Melbourne, and if we had managed to secure Ihaia West when we went close two years ago I wouldn't be complaining... For specialist positions (e.g...

I thought you had Matt Philip as well?

Indeed I did mean Fitzpatrick! The bloke who returned six months ago and still hasn't had his signing with the Tahs confirmed while they waited on Tatafu to decide what he was going to do.

Leroy Houston is back at Bath, no? I don't tink any of us will be surprised if that's where he stays now...

The past two pages are some of the stupidest posts I have ever read on this site, an absolute knee jerk reaction to a couple of comments taken out of context which are designed to show his support for his current employer as they prepare to play in a Grand Final. When he signed for the Rebels...

Good shout re: Fereti, had forgotten that he was always a loosehead, and then got confused and thought of Mike as a tighthead. I'll show myself out...

I'm curious to see somebody have a crack at this too, having left Melbourne late last year and only seen one Dewar Shield match this year. Assuming that option (C), no 2016 contacted Rebels players at all whether they have played DS or not, is the criteria then I would assume something along...

Great get if true, you're not getting confused with Conor Mitchell?

Country managed to go to Canberra and win, and if we have any genuine title aspirations this season it's imperative we do the same to build some momentum ahead of matches against the Rays and Rams. I like the makeup of our backline even without Meeno, and if we can compete physically in the...

I have heard that Lucas is on the radar, as well as Shane Geraghty (London Irish). Good to see Dan Hawkins back playing for Northland in the ITM; hope we don't regret letting him go. Would also still love to have Bryce Hegarty up our sleeve. Fullback and flyhalf are really the only areas we're...

Couldn't have said it better myself, Reg...

I've heard a whisper he's off to WA at the end of the NRC

He's not the finished article yet, but he is more than adequate. I'd say he will be introduced via the bench as opposed to replacing DHP, whose last two games have been good. Alternative would be to send Hodge to 12, Foley to the bench and #SuperSefa starts on the left wing. He has the...

I'd love for Colby to come in, particularly as he is a bit of a like for like with Pocock (one of the best fetchers in the game). Unfortunately he's not fit. I just think that Butler has shown a bit more for a bit longer than Reid, and I thought he has the added size as well but upon looking...

Will be interesting to see if a replacement is called into the squad? Probably unlikely as players have a week off now before heading to SA, and you would assume that either McCalman or Fardy will join the touring party, but at the same time I have no doubt that if Gilly was around he would be...

Last week was his worst game in either Rising or Rebels colours; I think it's a good message from Zane.

Yea sure, that's a fair point. Just a different line of thinking of my part, I suppose. The reality is that something needs to change drastically in this country or Rugby (as a professional sport) will continue to lose support and money...
