the only 2 potential advantages the tahs have over other provinces in relation to the depth of rugby talent in NSW schools is that many of these guys would have been tahs fans as kids, and have a dream of playing in a sky blue shirt. The other is that they can stay close to home. Every team has...

Tahs: 1 - robbinson (c) 2 - TPN 3 - Kepu 4 - Timani 5 - Douglas 6 - Dennis 7 - Alcock 8 - Palu 9 - McKibbon 10 - Barnes 11 - Mitchell 12 - AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 13 - Horne 14 - Kinston 15 - Foley

So based on all the back and forth above looks like we could be freeing up some cash. Who do we throw it at? Any world class 10s off contract?

Prepare to be disappointed

I would not rule out looking at successful sporting administrators from other codes just because they were from other codes. That's part of the Old Boy mentality that got us into this mess. Bennet is world class and I'd take him in a heartbeat

I agree with both of you that the ideal solution would be to get rid of the hit, but this has been met with too much resistance in the past. Even from former wallabies who have suffered at the hands of scurm evils (like Al Baxter). What I am proposing is a half way house - a step towards a more...

The one thing that struck me, and comparing the teams to 2010, the waratahs are not even close to the same team, and they got a lot closer to the stormers than their predecessors. Still, they at top of the table and if I were a stormers supporter I'd not be complaining too hard

Favourite moment: Joubert to Elsom "if you want me to award them less penalties you could just do what the law requires you to do"

Agree cyclo, that's why I think the props being bound before they come together will stabilise the front rows and minimise unnecessary resets and penalties

It seems as though the tahs coaches read the statistics on the crusaders game and devised a kicking game plan without watching the match and looking at the type of kicking the saders employed. Or worse, there was zero plan, just an instruction to kick (kick what's in front of you?) On the...

If I were in charge of scrum laws I would change one simple yet unpopular thing. I would force the props to crouch, bind on the jerseys, then engage. A lot of people have discussed getting rid of the hit, and While I agree this would cure a lot of the scrum reset problems, it has met with huge...

Jimbo, I'm not (slashSpiro wasnt) talking about running a 6 in the 12 chanell, the des is to convert a faster larger ball playing loose forward into a 12. Is common enough in France (fotualii, George smith, etc) and he has suggested higgers could play that role. Personally I'm not convinced and...

In recent years I've b even stung by getting up in the middle of the night to watch tahs v stormers games, and playing the single dad for the weekend I wont be making that mistake again. Hopefully this year is different, and the solid blue wall of defense is foiled by the cunning waratah...

Do you think guys like Parkes or Harris or Malone were naturally tactical kickers, or did their time in the NH under their respective NH coaches guide them to that skill set?

You mean they should waste half a billion dollars on an idle piece of plant they don't use? I have complete faith the waratahs board can manage that

Brok is good player, but if I'm not mistaken he is being played out of position at THP? Robinson is very good at exploiting this scenario which is why we should have the scrums. I say should because any number of things can go wrong, and we are starting Mumm and timani, leaving our better...

But is that what the ref is referring to? Seems an odd choice of phrase

This may be the spot for this question: a few times now I've heard the referee blow a scrum Penalty and state "head and shoulders". Last weeks tahs v bulls game the ref used this term as a replacement prop had started packing down. What does it actually mean? is he warning the prop to keep his...

Nice signature Linus. Knew a kwi withat signature on another forum...

Is spiro zavos' idea of counting sme 6s into 12s an option? Higgers may be the only one fast enough
