Echo Echo Echo Looks like I am the only one with no foxtel and no ability to get to the pub.

Sanzar was only ever a marriage of convenience that was a defensive move by the ARU, NZRU and SARU in 1995 to avoid losing the top 50+ players from each country to other competitions. It was slapped together in a relatively short amount of time without any real long term planning. In some ways...

NTA is probably best to answer. You need to get the basics right in terms of body position, straight back, tight binds (this goes for all of the T5). I personally thought it was all mostly about winning the engagement (i.e. the hit), as that would normally set me up for the rest of the scrum...

I think this will be the tahs 1st loss of the season. While its early, the brumbies will struggle to make the finals if they lose this weekend and our luck is due to run out. Brumbies by 13 I think.

You can throw Palu in as well if you want to include any rugby player who ever played for an NRL club. However none of Barnes, Elsom or Palu were stars in league and so should be excluded. I think Thorn would be on the list. He has won NRL premierships, State of Origins, S14 titles and has been...

What about Hangers at 12 and Horne at 13?

I disagree with a fair bit of this article. 1st Norths built the stadium at Gosford, unfortunately they started a few years too late and so got caught in no mans land when the criteria for the post super league competition started. Singleton brought it after Norths folded (at the top grade level...

Heh, I was there. I have a pretty deeply entrenched routine with a bunch of mates which I am reluctant to change while the tahs keep winning. Also, I am off grog at the mo so I didn't make it to the members bar.

I would swap them both for Barnes. Quade with his bounce passes and kicks out on the full doesn't do it for me.

My thoughts the day after the night before. Typicaly Qld-NSW game, and as per the last few years, NSW have played the grittier footy and it ultimately got them home. The reds were smashed upfront, taking hardman off for Fainga was good for us. Braid did well for the reds but MMM was easily...

I don't thin Fava was on the bench last week either. Is he injured?

I too remember the bad old days, in particular NSW used to always criticise QLD for playing boring rugby.

Alright lets stay on topic here. There is need to start lobbing bombs at gods country in your piss weak attempts to denegrate the waratah rugby team. Most of you Red supporters are doing a James Horwill (see my avatar) when composing your posts for this thread.

A 3 point win to the tahs, and hopefully a 30k+ crowd

So no clear winner in the Smith V Pocock duel?

He made a try saver I one of the clans inside backs when a try to the clan the would have put them right back in the game.

THere was one good scrum with Palmer when the tahs were uydner pressure in our own 22 late in the game, but otherwise he looked like he had the wrong studs in. Was such a vast improvement over last weeks game I am not inclined to be too critical. We were surprised with BEale's choice as MoM...

It is no coincidence that two dad's annoucement re a draft contract comes stright after Giteau announces he is coming east.

It will be interesting to see how Carter plays this year under Hickey . Last year his primary job was to be Kurtley's protector both in attack and defence. This was obviously right up Tom's alley and suited Ewen's game plan. He did this job reasonably well in 2008, although I was measuring him...

I agree with the thread title, this article and some of the posts in here are a disgrace. :lmao: The introducton of an additional team was always going to be difficult regardless of where it was based, someone was going to have to stump up alot of the players and Qld got hit hardest of all no...
