So I guess it is too late to attempt to placate him with bananas?

I am finding the centres and halfback the most frustrating. And I always have one nonperforming lock, no matter what I do! The way they have set up the positional pools have really left managers scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as centres go. And because of terrible oversight on my...

I suppose you are right. I would also bet that the unpaid intern is a foreign exchange student, with English as his/her second language. I know I tend to use strange sentence constructions when I write in Indonesian!

He might have thought it was a snake, and decided to bring it to the ref's attention before he tried to kill it. It's the only reason I can think of.

So they lack skills with both the written word and proof-reading!

What compounded their problems was the fact that when they went for the corner, the Tahs didn't get touch within 5 metres of the try line. Their lineout was struggling, and having the throw in 10-15 metres away from the line allowed the Brumbies to get up and contest the ball. By contrast...

Truly painful. So many ideas squashed into a single sentence, and so many superfluous words.

I have to second that. Please go from 1-15. :)

Not really. In the two games Messam has played so far, he has scored 28 and 34. Not the highest scores by any means, but still consistent. I will be interested how he scores over the next few rounds. Particularly as I will then be able to track how he is trending. At the moment he should be a...

Ha! I learned my lesson last year when I was burned by my captain for about 6 weeks in a row!

I actually find Moore one of the most dependable players. As he has a high workload, he tends to score a lot of points and score consistently throughout the season. I have found that Moore, Messam or Coetzee make for pretty good captains as they will constantly score you points. However, this...

Where McCabe slots back in when he returns is a good problem for the Brumbies to have. It means they have depth in the backline. Realistically you could have a To'omua, Tomane, Lilo, Mcabe, Rathbone and Mogg backline. Or there could be a Lilo, Tomane, McCabe, Rathbone, Speight, Mogg backline...

The Chiefs have looked very slick so far this season, and have built a very solid platform. Stormers are going to have to improve a lot to get over the top of them.

I pulled this post out of the Waratahs thread, as I feel you are being disingenuous when arguing about Waratahs crowd figures in this thread. I'm not sure why you are ragging on the crowd figures so much, when you actively chose to not attend the game. If you want higher attendance levels...
