Happy to have Alexander at 1, even though he is playing LHP at Brumbies. I think if Jerry Yanuyanu was fit Big Ben would be THP, but atm they don't have too many LHP options. Baxter (despite the refs I think he's playing his best footy now and think he's pretty good at clean out time and a very...

And this was supposed to be my escape from work!!

1 is based on the amount of excitement I felt when Horne made that run at the end of the game. At that point it seemed the Tahs were out of it and headed for a Brumby style surrender, then Horne's run through three defenders to free up Mitchell and offload reminded me of Robbie at his best...

So Horne was the third best 'Tahs player - on the basis of 10 minutes of game time? Presumably because of one impressive run from an unmarked position - and guess who put him into space? Must have been a good ball. He's kept Mowen on the bench this week.

Wasn't you who said "shame on you for ruining a good story" Lee?

Close, but not quite correct. Fitzy was always a hooker at Joeys except for Yr 11 when Boydy thought he would try him at breakaway. Unfortunately broke his hand in a trial and ended playing 2nds that year with the occasional run off the bench as a backrower. He's a hooker, just like his infamous...

I reckon I would go with Palmer. He could also cover THP if anything happened to Baxter as both Kepu and Robinson are pretty much full time LHPs.

It looks like TPN is out for a couple of weeks with a hammy injury. So, who's the back up? Fitzy presumably will start but it will be a run on baptism of fire against the Sharks front row of Smit, Bismark du Plessis and the Beast. More interestingly, who's his back up? Freier is still a few...

I think you're being a bit hard on him here. I know Sydney club rugby is not Test Rugby, but he certainly shows good running skills, a great right foot step and regular face balls (usually to Mitch Inman on a great angle). ?inspire? I don't know but he certainly has authority and players love...

He was in Uni 1sts last year until he got injured at the end of the first round and didn't play for the rest of the year. Nerve injury in his neck, I think. He plays THP at Uni and Jerry is on the other side. He was in 2s before that but behind Weekes and you've seen how good he is over the last...

Good to see Tilse firing up! IMO he's still a good prop, just unfortunate to be at the wrong franchise with a lot of good props in front of him, and he's had some injury trouble. Melbourne could do worse (and probably already have).

Anyone see the Junior Tahs v Qld A game? Match report?

3. Weekes 2. Genia 1. S. Fainga'a (best he's played since U16s)

Nope.

3. Baxter 2. Mowen 1. Dennis

A great game to watch, though. A few additional comments: Baxter had a great game. Powerful scrummaging and led a lot of the counter rucking that was so impressive early on. He was penalised a couple of times at scrum time but at least one of these he was ripped off. When the ref talks to...

He'd still be better than Thomson, who looks like he just doesn't give a crap anymore.

I can't find where it's been announced yet but I expect it would look something like: 1. Tilse 2. Ben Roberts 3. Paddy Ryan 4. Thommo (c) 5. Sigg 6. Coridas 7. McCutcheon 8. Alcock 9. McKibbin 10. Seymour 11.Nemoli (or whatever Ratu calls himself these days) 12. Azar 13. Bennets 14. Rockobaro...

Weekes is the one they need to lock in. Probably the best scrummaging THP in the country at the moment. Even gave it to Fatcat in the first round. You banjo pluckers seem to love Daley but he's got a lot to learn at scrum time.

I'm trying to work out which Gordon player Uni would possibly consider paying money for.................. Go Broadway Bruce. My experience of Uni rugby backs what you say.
