definately have my eye on Etzbeth Spoony - his stats were very good last week.

good to see team lists confirmed early so we can start planning. I want to drop habana but may shift him to the bench and bring my cheapy (Tom Kingston) in - may be a shot at a few meat pies v the rebels. the outside backs in the lions canes game may be good value as well - neither team looked...

you may get a lot of response to this, as the reasons are many and varied. Boild down to the argument that "he's a knob"

rewatching the reds match I focused (as much as the cameraman would let me) on B Foley. He had a touch of the Kurtley Beale about his footwork and play IMO. The step and offloading was pretty sharp, and he was just about the only tah back who was trying anything to bend the defensive line (the...

Yeah, not a great start. Thought I'd throw habana in, figuring at 13 he'd get a bit more of a look in, but forgetting he is shit now...

Sad news, especially for kids in the region.

Without baiting, I think the tah forwards will be too strong for the good (on paper) rebels backline. Hopefully foley has the sense to drill into the players not to kick to (or near) Beale

So after the game, what are the changes (if any) you would make to the teamgiven the me stock (ie assume no one is suddenly fit, and no one was injured last night) I would swap hangers for foley at 10, and go looking for a new winger/fullback to replace BKH, who I thought had a very poor game.

Is the bracketed roodt of the cheetahs a certain dud roodt formerly of the waratahs?

Let's drop the booing thing - they were booed not for their dour play, but because they lost to the cheetahs. Anyone would boo that

Agree hawk, I hope Jono gets a chance to proove himself this year. Considering current and past injuries I am sure he will.

Mate please, all blacks won the world cup and they're still flagrant cheats.

theres a difference between R&M penalties and taking people out off the ball. The ruck largely subjective - how much effort did a player make to roll away; was he the tackler or did he come in after? Is the player holding on to the ball or is he being held himself? These are all split decision...

I would suggest sensitive management and possible resting are not part of the waratahs rehabilitation plan. It tends to be more "we need him, strap him up and send him out there" I offer a guarantee that he starts next week

Because i hear you all cheer for richie when he does it against the wallabies... Cheating is still cheating, caught or not

If barnes is down, though, surely hangers is on?

Yep. Bit him too. (poor joke, I know) But honestly, you don't remember the constant offside at the breakdown, taking defenders out off the ball, etc? Its my enduring memory of their season

X factor is all pretty moot. If the ref allows ther eds to cheat as much as they were allowed to last year anyone will find it hard to compete.

How did cutch look? like a sevens player trying to be hard again, or was he effective?

Thank god chabal is in town...
