Build your team around this guy, and get him active in recruiting while his wing heals up. What a player, what a man. Probably the best signing by any Australian franchise in recent memory.

Here's a proposition I would like to know, from any passionate, one eyed, black to the bone (but able to display some objectivity for the purposes of discussion) Kiwi rugby fan the following - Knowing a reasonably likely All Black XV (give or take a few positions) for the test vs the wallabies...

Anot I respect the hell out of him too, just don't particularly want him as a 1st choice wallaby

Say what you will about A finger's lack of pace, but that man is hard as fucking nails. In my playing days, I went through a similar situation with a shoulder injury (labral + capsule tear) that needed surgery, I postponed to the end of the year. Worst year of footy I ever played, I was so...

The other thing is, if the Reds are looking for a 2nd row/6 cover. Dave McDuling has been with them for a few years but not played beyond the Reds A team because of two ACL recons. He's back playing club for Uni and looking just dominant, like he did when he first turned up in QLD. It would be a...

It must have come down to the point where they had to choose between Butler and Browning, and Curtis got the nod which is probably the right call if you've watched anything of club rugby the last year or two

Evenly matched on paper, with the reds possibly bringing a little more brawn in the tight 5 and reserves, but the Crusaders able to bring Sir Ritchie into the game. Risky to pack no 2nd rower on the bench with Romano only just back from injury but those are the games the coaches play. Centres...

The force I think are definitely looking like they know what they want in terms of recruitment. You've always been relatively strong up front, with a potentially excellent back row but lacking class and consistency in the backs (in both attack and defense). Signing Holmes (as a 10) and Morahan...

I agree, I think the decision to play the dirt trackers against the Lions is a poor one. You have got to wonder how Godwin, MMM (if he is in fact right to play), Tessman etc. must feel. If I was them I would have made it quite clear the the chance to play the Lions is one that I want desperately...

I watched uni go down to brothers. A generally funny old game, with the young uni pack (4 or 5 colts age boys in it including the whole backrow though Conor Mitchell at 7 has played alot in prems and always acquits himself well) looking well and truly outmuscled early by a much larger and...

I think they will take A hooker or prop. I would hazard that it doesnt really matter, because if a fatty goes down with injury they can draft in players no worries. Whoever they take here will be someone they believe is pushing for a spot in the 23 but just didn't quite have room for in the 1st...

On the basis of robbies comments I really just think he wants to see quade play the lions, front up and make his tackles. If he does that he's in the next 6 almost certainly

the final six you would think is going to require a 10 (Quade!!!!!!) a lock (Mcmeniman almost surely for the versatility factor, if not then douglas for the brawn) 1-2 9's (white and/or phipps) A winger (mitchell?) a fullback and/or centre depending on whether dingo sees barnes as a 15 only or...

I'm pretty sure that the logistics camp was just that, logistics. They used over 50 boys already to get sponsor and TV stuff done, and measure them up for kit so that when they're in camp, they're in camp doing rugby only. This "rugby content" that Rowley and others are so certain was covered...

Also, if beale doesn't shape up (which causes me to lose a reasonably sized bet with my dad, I'm still optimistic :confused:), you change the configuration of the Back 3 to have JOC (James O'Connor) as a starter probably and a centre onto the bench (Horne at this stage, though I hope taps makes a play in the...

Edit, I would probably go with Douglas to partner Horwill if you take Mowen as a loosie, as both locks will be required to play 80 mins (risky). If you take MMM or Dennis on the bench (though I don't really like the idea of Dennis as a lock against the BIL's) you could go with Timani.

Which is not to say that he might act differently if he didn't have family money, I personally believe he'd be the same. Just an observation
