Deans obviously reads GAGR Now all we have to do is post solutions to the following for him to see - How to keep all our best players healthy through appropriate management - where to play JOC (James O'Connor) - How to stop Kurtley getting the gits and running across field when his pack is losing the...

. I would posit that his low stats are due to a rather fucking terrible shortage of pill for anyone wearing a jersey number > 12. I would agree with you though about that isolated instance where he should have thrown it to Harris, indeed I was yelling manically at my TV for him to do so. BUT...

Gilly would have been talking about "watching his carbs" in the following way - making sure he gets enough so he gets reaches the total kilojoules to fuel him for each training day, with another few hundred on top to ensure he's in the positive energy balance he needs to grow. - making sure he...

The personnel has to change, I know its not that easy when you have as many players crocked as we do, but we'll have some returning fire power this week out wide and Pocock to return up front so thats a positive. I'd slot poey in somewhere in the back row (dennis was't good last night), Digby on...

Sounds like what the ballymore redevelopment was supposed to result in up here in brisbane (the current ballymore has lots of that stuff anyway). Regardless its great for the brums

thats awesome but also sucks alot. Link should have rung him, he lives here in brisbane basically anyway, though he probably resents us a bit from 2011

It comes back to balance of course. I thought the use of Timani as a midfield battering ram was astute one given who else was in the side i.e Sharpe the master lineout tactician, Dennis and Higgers having good skills in this area also. Kane jumps, and jumps well I think, I can't remember him...

I saw something over at the rebels thread that sparked my interest, say we miss out on MMM and McDuling gets promoted to the top squad, then I want this guy in our EPS. Seems like a good pick up for cheap $$ and out of this world potential.

Fuck it would be unreal to see him playing in AUS

Will we get our hands on MMM? If he is home and looking for a gig, he would be handy squad member if the reports are accurate and he isn't looking for a big pay day. We do have form taking guys back from the japanese scene and turning them into super rugby regulars and occasionally wallaby squad...

Scotty I would add to that (and all the subsequent posts on the topic that I've read), that I keep thinking back to the game in brisbane where the team was probably not the first choice in every position (ant's first go at 13, pat's 3rd or 4th go at 12, selection of alexander etc.) but they did...

Whats happened to Kev? on the rugby club last night e was handing out awards at the super rugby dinner in a sling. He's off his crutches from the hamstring op. Must have had something in his shoulder cleared up, anyone have more information?

Given that they move at the same speed, which is usually not the case. By energy you mean momentum, which equals mass x velocity. e.g a kid wants to be a flanker but weights 94kg and has a maximum velocity of 8.7 m/s. Momentum at top speed = 817.8 netwons after eating and bodybuilding his way...

agreed hence my comment that "size" on its own is irrelevant. Strength is definitely not

Poor James. But that said Simmons and Sharpe will have to be the locks for the Rugby championship now, and Pyle will need to be inserted if Sharpe is hell bent on retiring after super rugby. If not pyle then douglas (though I'm just not intimidated by him like I am by Horwill, Whitelock...

I know and that worries me. If he were to be required to play there for 65 mins we'd be in trouble. He should be 6, 8, 19, or nada. Not 18.

Vuna should make way for morahan or shipperley, who both should have been ahead of him. I feel that we need a lock on the bench, so one of dennis or hooper has to drop out. Let palmer have a chance to prove he is of true test quality if Kepu is no good. If beale is right (should be, if you're...

Yeah I do agree with your first comments. Size (bodyweight in kg's) should be last on the list of selection criteria, and some selections (or selectors) do seem to be bewitched by centres or wingers (or props) who are massive. However size is only indirectly correlated with strength, having more...

You're not wrong TBH, just not fully correct. ALL players require high levels of maximal strength (relative to their bodyweight), regardless of position. Acceleration is a trainable quality, but you cant be explosive without being strong. Acceleration (linear or otherwise) is just an expression...

Agreed. Strength is the most fundamental of physical qualities involved in our game. Its possible to play well without it, but it makes things vastly easier when you have it. Ashley Jones' experience with the All blacks and crusaders can only be valuable, given that our kiwi cousins have...
