My feelings about the issue of indigenous representation are conditioned by my lived experiences, I suppose that is the same for all of us. I grew up in an Australia which was still part of the British Empire, we were taught virtually nothing at school about our indigenous population and their...

It was good for Woodies supporters!!

No offence intended, I cannot follow your logic. Of course there are a lot of indigenous players in the AFL and NRL, but very few in our game - at the elite level, anyway. They might well be punching above their weight, but not in our code. As sad as it is to say this, but we have not earned...

By the way, and I hope that nobody is offended, but I am pretty sure that none of the 23 players selected will be of indigenous descent, even though the team will be wearing the indigenous jersey. We have not come a long way, baby.

Simone is a New Zealander, which will add a bit of spice to the game.

He must have lost his nametag.

SevenPlus. We watched the game yesterday. Ed Craig was immense.

Coached as a kid by my favourite Australian 8 (Tim Gavin) and from the way he is going, Wilson could be our GOAT 8.

My relative said much the same thing, a possible Easts/Woodies final. It has been a great comp so far, all things considered!

Honestly, they really surprised me. Then again, I have not seen much of them this year, for obvious reasons (we live a long way from the old stamping grounds, and in another state). But I did watch the previous game against the Beasts, and we just scraped a very unimpressive win. But the way...

Obviously the subbies know the Laws of the Game better!!

This forum should have a spell check for players' names.

My flabber is gasted. Quite a few unsung heroes in the Woodies ranks, for sure.

At this level, for sure!!

The usage that I really dislike is "versing".

Eastwood? I think we have reached our limit.

The pedant in me must point out that we do not "revert back", we simply "revert".

Maybe the year after also. We all need to be prepared for the worst, unfortunately.

We were very, very, lucky to beat Easts earlier in the season. Their team will be a lot stronger this time around.

One thing for sure, if he is not up to it it won't be because he is not fit enough, or willing enough, or brave enough. My bet is that DR is capable of bringing out a good performance from him.
