Reds seem to be well covered for halfbacks. Is Frisby the best of the rest standing when it comes to backs?

Lets hope the Tahs get on top of them then.

That is a good sign. He is ready to resume his usual defensive load, then.

We'll learn a little more about some of the probables and possibles (Slipper, Hanson) and how they're going this season when the Waratahs then the Reds run up against the Crusaders in rounds 10 and 11.

Re RG: It's like pet cemetery. Sometimes they come back. I understand Matthew Burke is available for the Force?

I didn't think I was allowed to read his articles. I haven't played Super rugby. This is so complicated! I need someone to explain it too me! Can I comprehend this or not? I was going to watch the Reds play the Stormers this weekend but I fear the experience would be wasted on me. Unless...

I liked Byrnes better when he was only a weasel on the field.

I'm not sure that we won't end up with the worst of both approaches, by having two cold combinations, each of them a gamble - because of the proximity of the games. And widening the impact in the super comp to Aus teams.

He did.

And catch the high ball. Which is where he seemed most fragile last year in the republic, in terms of being a fullback. Still, trial by fire and he was reasonably solid.

Davies is just waving people through at the moment and should be the first player shuffled off to reserve grade when the injured return. I'm not sure where you got your stats on Shipperley from, though - I thought he had another solid game and stat-wise missed one tackle, making 6 with 7 runs...

I'm fairly sure Ma'afu has eaten a pumpkin scone. Make that 27 Qlders.

Higgers is still growing into his game. More grunt this year than last, maybe because he had to in the earlier games this season. Don't know whether that will translate into effectiveness at test level.

As I sat in the stadium diagonally opposite and >100m away and waited for someone - anyone - to provide more beers it was definitely a try. In the cold light of sobriety I am still 51% definite.

The TMO is Steve Lesczcynski. But the big dog up top remains the same.

Biggsy, it is always enjoyable to read your posts. I appreciate a stream-of-consciousness that is a little more Queensland than Bjelke-Petersen. I also enjoy reading your posts backwards. I find it adds a much needed challenge missing in the posted content, and is often more coherent. But...

Thank god for the wobbly win and the bye, they needed to close that chapter in a vaguely positive way. Looking forward to the Stormers at Suncorp. If the reds are going to get this season going, they'll have to do whatever it takes. Fortunately they will have Steve Walsh, fresh legs and a home...

Small town newspaper journos are not known for their balanced reporting. Not like the paragons of integrity hunched over their quills at the Courier Mail

Made my morning.

Hyper-hyperbole strikes again! Not quite officially. And I wonder that they played on once the try was awarded - their hopes being dashed! White should have pulled them off to avoid injury. I'm glad the Canberra Times is ringing Lyndon Bray on Easter Saturday looking for comment. The real...
