I don't get why some people (I suppose particularly Beale haters) get so worked up about switching players positions between defense and attack. It's called making the most of the talent available to you. Beale creates things in attack, Horne finishes well, while in defense Horne is a dominant...

From a Tahs fan, there was a fair bit to like about that (and yes, I agree it was a rubbish game). They are certainly trying to play that fast, expansive game with aggression at the breakdown and in defence that worked so well last year, and broadly it worked, let down of course by the awful...

On paper the Tahs should win this convincingly, however you can never say that in a NSW/Qld confrontation, and a controversial win by a point will do me just fine (in fact, a controversial win is always a bit of fun afterwards, with all the ref bagging, what-ifs and 'you didn't deserve it!)...

Peter Veenstra is from Orange, CEO of Central West Rugby

I couldn't agree more Snout. As I posted a few pages back, sure Cooper may be a better option at 10 than Foley (my opinion, anyhow) it won't make a scrap of difference until we start to smash people in the forwards. We need more with the Potgeiter/TPN attitude, 80 minutes of controlled...

Don't really have a problem with Pocock's action, although protests that break the law can be a tricky thing. So many protests that start out with a peacefull intent finish up escalating to property damage, and even violence. It becomes a matter of, which laws are we happy for people to break...

Unfortunately, every time we lose all we get is all the partisan bullshit. To the Brumbies and Reds supporters, the fault lies with Cheika, Foley, Hooper or any other Tah you can name, for the Tahs supporters, they leap to their defence, and blame Simmons, White, Carter or anyone else. Guys...

I like the side, but would have Cooper over Foley. I still want to see how Cooper goes outside Phipps. It might take a few tests, but I think he'd love the extra time Phipps would give him. If it were me I would leave out Ben A, Skelton & Beale, but don't think that's how it will play out. One...

There are a couple of Tahs you forgot to get rid of BR!;)

I'll be first to say we don't have anything like Caxton Street, but there are plenty of good pubs close to the SFS that have a pretty good atmosphere after a game. My mates and I tend to go to the Grand National, the London or the Four in Hand. Nothing wrong with the really close ones like the...

I said it before, but I think Lilo outside Foley, or To'omua outside Cooper. Also, for mine Speight and Horne on the wings, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) on the bench. Having said that, I know neither of these things will happen.

I think the front row is a given, as is the back-up purely due to a lack of alternatives. Simmons will start, Skelton didn't show enough so the other two locks will be Carter & Horwill, Horwill to start for mine but I think it's more likely to be Carter. My starting back row would be McMahon...

It's interesting everyone is talking about either a Genia/Cooper halves combination or Phipps/Foley. What I want to see is Phipps/Cooper! Sure it may take a few games to get working, but Cooper's creativity with the extra time and space he would get from Phipps' extra speed at clearance could...

mst, you try to come across as some voice of reason, you trash (quite correctly) all the unsubstantiated assumptions journo's like Wilson make, you launch a vitriolic personal attack on anyone who doesn't take your point of view, and then you come up with your own, completely unsubstantiated...

Gagger, I imagine Jones would get a ban if he was on here!! (Don't worry, the man is an absolute tool). Having said that, there is so much speculation, this thread now consists in large part of people quoting those sources that happen to coincide with their own view, and trashing as...

Can we not question the roles and actions of Patston or Link without being labeled a Beale sympathiser. I offer no apology for Beale, and back 1000 or so posts stated I thought he should have lost his ARU contract and top-up, been banned from the EOYT, fined and made to undergo counselling. It...

I don't accept the standard that some seem to demand on here, that rugby players have to be a combination of diplomats and saints, but at the same time silent. A few years ago a long time mate of mine did a very stupid (and at the time desperate) thing and misappropriated a substantial some of...

While no-one can condone what Beale did, and he should wear the appropriate consequences, the hatred and bitterness about the guy from some posters here (who, I wouldn't mind betting, have never met him) is almost frightening. If he is banned from rugby for all time, which is what some people...

Disappointing that to some (not all) Qld and ACT supporters this comes down to a state issue onse again. It's all the Tahs fault, sack all the Tahs etc etc. Before the usual Tahs bias statements are made, let me say, I supported Link's appointment, I wanted him to stay for the WC, and I would...

Firstly, I thoroughly agree with those posters who said we would have been better served with Horwill as captain and playing in front of either Simmons or Carter, however Link clearly isn't of that mind. I just don't agree with the comments that suggest Moore was the savior, but when he was...
