No argument with me on that score, for the first 60 minutes anyway. You'd have thought is was pouring with rain the handling was so poor.

Dave, I think there is too much confusion between the tackler (who has to go to ground to be designated as the tackler ie one knee on the ground) having to release the tackled player and an arriving player having the rights to the ball as long as he's on his feet (ie supporting his own weight...

Heh Galah, I actually thought Easts dominated the breakdown yesterday which was what kept them in the game and destroyed Manly's continuity. Haven't seen the breakdown stats though.

Yes MACCA, I agree with you. Some young guys showed promise this year but if Nio and Ingram have retired a lot of experience has been lost from the forwards. Hopefully Hoiles will carry on next year, but I think we need a forward leader, and LaLa's not the man IMO. A strong, hard running centre...

IMO he's not ready for S15 yet, especially his defence. Sorry, not heard anything about him and the Rebels.

Kepu coming off the bench tomorrow apparently. Hopefully the Wicks will still be in the game by then!

And then Randwick. I believe while he was at the Wicks his family moved back to Brisbane and he was flying to and fro. Souths then found him a job and a house for his family in Sydney so he jumped ship. One of those class players who always seems to have so much time to do things -- never...

Compared to recent times when they haven't had to worry about striking as the half fed the ball into the 2nd row!

I'll have a go (so none of these will win!): Jared Barry -- Catchpole Medal David Horwitz -- rookie Phil Blake -- coach

Kepu came off the bench against the ABs last Saturday so I assume he's locked up with the Wobblies. Mitchell played for Balmain last weekend which they advertised as his fairwell game before heading off to France. In any case, as Balmain is his nominated club (and they lend him to the Wicks)...

Dave, at a rough count I'd say about 8 of them were in the run on team in 1sts this year at some stage, but almost all have come off the bench in firsts. I think only Zeb Holmes-Baer, Harry Boileau and maybe Charlie Wakim are still eligible for Colts. Zeb's a converted loose forward and is...

Bruce, technically you are correct, but 19 times out of 20 it's the player who stands up who is penalised for not staying bound.

I don't think CTM was used much by the Force, was he? I know he played for Norths against the Wicks in May.

I wasn't seeking to justify anything, just pointing out that Carter (and Uni) don't have a monopoly on being sledged. Some guys (eg Carter) are at least partially to blame for what they cop, whereas others (eg Campo) cop it through no fault of their own.

IMO refs even at international level only look at the scrum under pressure and the dominant scrum gets away with murder eg McCaw breaking early.

Reminds me of Ian Chappell's response when asked whether he thought the Australian cricket team needed a coach. He said something like: "sure, that's how we travel to and from the ground"!

I agree with you! I think some of you Uni supporters are being a bit precious about this. You'd think Uni was the only club that had ever experienced bagging of one of it's players or are Uni players untouchable? Cast your mind back to some of the crap that used to get directed at the likes of...

More than a bit!

I doubt it!
