That is one way to break down the stats but what it doesn't account for is the game conditions. Reserve players come on as fresh legs among tiring players and we compare that to players who started the game. This is the problem with stats as without proper context they are just numbers. I'm...

George had pretty much done it all in a Wallaby jumper (bar a RWC victory). He had a young family and he made the decision he thought was best for his family to play abroad before it was too late. The next big thing in Pocock was ready, so he stepped aside knowing the Wallabies will be ok...

Woody has to stamp his own mark on the 2014 Reds. Living in Link's shadow will not progress the side.

I don't know where you are heading with this? I didn't say anything about how he plays. I only made mention of his ability to keep injury free. I also said that age is not on his side for a player who is injury plagued. His injuries are keeping him out of the game for long periods and he...

I think your annoying gee up the crowd microphone goober is every bit annoying as the Suncorp bloke and don't get me wrong, I think he is annoying. Brumby Jack is pretty cool though.

Actually I think it was George Smith who set the standard in regards for this type of play. He had it from the start where as Richie has adapted his game over the years. The All Blacks do it bloody well as you say though. That is actually one thing we have seen in in 2013 when talking about...

Well the car park behind the Gregan Larkham stand taught me that an NT drivers licence can remove frost from a windscreen. Hey I've been there when the locals are bitching about the cold. The one good side I found about the concrete esky is that before the game you can stash 6 cans under...

I think we have all supported teams that have had bad runs from refs (not judging who is right or wrong) but none the less in regards to Kaplan, congratulations on a good career. It is a tough job so congratulations is in order. As frustrating as they are at times, we just don't have a game...

Look at who poled in the John Eales medal all up. It just highlights what an injury prone previous 12 months the Wallabies have had. Most of the players who got votes played limited tests. Feel free to use it to justify your position if you like.

People still riding on Palu. He has given good service but in reality he is broken and just doesn't look to get back to anywhere near where he was. Age isn't on his side.

Cheers BJ

Forgot about Aeulua. I haven't heard about Smiler. Tell us a bit about him? Cheers

Tickets just booked to go and stay with my brother who lives in Canberra, perfectly timed for the Brumbies vs Reds. Thank you to the rugby gods for having this game in February before the artic blast roles into town. You know what to expect going to Canberra in winter but Canberra stadium is...

That is gonna be a bloody good back row in Higgers, Colby and Jones. You have got good seconds but just need to sort out that front row.

I see there being room for that to happen. Noodles and the big saffa gone will see Fardy consistently at lock and Mowen and Buttler fill 6&8.

I thought "not quite white was the term". :)

Remember all the bitching when Morty was captain about being to far away. If you seriously want to think of blooding a new captain, you simply don't look beyond Stephen Moore. There is no need for a new captain. Horwill will find his form and this will all be water under the bridge. Think...

Think of Pocock and Higgers as a combo. They counter each others strengths and weaknesses well.

Hooper is a bloody good ball runner and uses his low body height well. This is what makes him stand out most among the punters. We need more presence at the breakdown though. We know we get this from Pocock but from our fit crop of sevens, we have more of those traits in Gill. The thing...
