Are there players out there that we haven't heard of that can somehow come into the fold for this team? Like some brutal 3, 6, 8 and/or 12, or are those players that were in the original train on squad and excluded all we can really look forward to for the medium term (notwithstanding coach...

I've been saying for years and asking the very question of why don't the Wobs do more set piece/first phase moves? What ever happened to the cut and looping and switching etc? Anything to create space and the extra man? Seriously, even since the days of Eddie Jones, I can't recall much other...

Some nostalgic faves: Brett Papworth, Scott Gourley and then also Karmichael Hunt

Here are the highlights: http://superxv.com/video/mobile/rebels-vs-reds-rd-16-super-rugby-video-highlights-2012/rebels-vs-reds-rd-16-super-rugby-video-highlights-2012-video_e82fce4b9.html

Rugby Dump has been promising to put it up for a few days now - am closely watching that space. All I'm getting on TV here is US college sevens replays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(and then there was Gerrard at 5/8 during a Northern Tour midweek game - DISASTER) OK, natural progression - here is my "Parrallel Universe 22": 1: PALMER 2: MOORE 3: TPN 4: NEVILLE (dunno kinds like his rowing backg) 5: HORWILL 6: PALU (A fit, 80m one) 7: POCOCK 8: TIMANI 9: GENIA 10...

Also remember Nathan Grey at 10. Jeez we didn't have the cattle then.

I seem to remember Toutai and Steve Kefu playing in the centres against the Baabas once. I even think Tiquiri once packed down at flanker (and scored his first international try?) during one if the pool matches at RWC 03???? That would have been interesting to see how he could have gone at...

After reading the cover story on Wallaby Hookers, I thought for shits and giggles about Wallaby positional switches and imagined what difference, if any, it would make. All hypothetical of course, and plenty of reasons (stats will no doubt show) why it wouldn't work, but here's my list: 1. TPN...

Fotu at 12! Like he did in Franceland. Bend that farking line people.

How did Fotu play?

I've only seen extended highlights of the WB and AB matches, but a few things that comes to mind: (a) Our lack of a strong-running centre/link man (maybe AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is the closest thing but he's doesn't display the slick hands). (b) All our tries (at least from backline play) traditionally comes...

What is it about Aussie Rugby and syndes-bloody-mosis injuries? Or is it just me, because I'm only giving a shit when it happens to Aussie players?

I remember training for a colts UK tour and of course the weather in OZ was wonderful but we had to expect wet paddocks - so what did we do: TRAIN ON THE BEACH! Worked a treat. Sure it wasn't cold, but we essentially did weeks and weeks of soft-surface running and scrummaging and it was even...

From Diggers in today's SMH: ''I'll be on the left wing and Joe will be on the right,'' he said. ''I play both wings, but I gave him the first choice anyway … I think back to the days … well, I won't name names, but this bloke in the team said no go to playing on the other wing. So I'm doing...

Yeah, realised this as soon as I posted then thought, as of late, TPN hasn't been getting up himself so there's a good chance of taking himself out as well.

Totally Agree! I'm all for player development and the notion of being in the system for a while yada yada to earn the jersey, but wouldn't it be nice to at least have one enforcer in the squad - you know, something that we were supposed to have in Palu since 2006? Hark back to the days of bloody...

"Genia's love of singing the Reds team song must be worth around $200,000 a year..." Beautiful work from Grow-Grow.

Gotta say lads, although I'm not on top of things at the moment (need to renew my cable subscription here in the US to get S15), I can't recall a more grim time in Aussie rugby. Brumbies aside, there doesn't seem to be much good news what with injuries, poor form, coach migrations and overall...

Can Horne be taken apart and then put back together again? Surely he's over his 'growing pains' or whatever that was apparently causing his lower back injuries? Don't you stop growing around the 20 mark? These guys should do yoga or something.
