I'd imagine not giving away so bloody penalties like Foley did in slapping the ball out of BB's hand after a tackle, DHP and was it Coleman taking a player out of the ruck when we were in their 22 would go a long way. More importantly, not giving clearing kicks to a guy who can only kick 20...

While Tui was caught out a few times with his height, I can't remember too many forwards who were actually bending the line. I do think he needs to be pulled at the 50 minute mark or come on as a sub to ensure he's playing effectively. Additionally, I don't think Tui works with a backrow...

The All Blacks can talk up having respect all they want, but to constantly grab a guys neck (Pocock) who is constantly concerned about their welfare is pretty pathetic.

Interesting to see where people put some of the backs. More importantly, anyone who doesn't have Ben Tune at 14 is wrong. The guy would single handily be able to deal with the most feared player of all time, Jonah. Surprised to see Sharpe given the nod over Vickerman. Sharpe I feel only turned...

Geez it'd be nice if a guy like James Hansen was available to be picked.

Fairly sure I read the article on him yesterday that he wants to play for the 'pinnacle' of Rugby.... The Darkness.

I thought the Preacher's ankle was still busted so he's still in Australia? Whether he's North of the South of the Tweed today I'm not sure.

Understandable why Tom chose that route. Unfortunately, Med has a huge amount of 'training' years a Doctor has to go through before they're able to work unrestricted and then if they want to specialise there's another mountain to climb. Just as a timeframe, Roe 'only' became an Orthopod this...

I'd be willing to wager $20 to the Black Dog Institute that ASH will be here for good. As you mentioned, he's a smart bloke. Most smart blokes studying Med are well aware of how difficult it is to get a placement in a hospital and how its even more difficult to do outside of the state you...

Remind me again why BPA got dropped for Latu? Hopefully someone from RA has some sense and gets Slipper brought back for next weekend.

My thinking as well. ASY (Angus Scott-Young) is in a different position to most of the young guys. He'd still be at uni completely his Med degree I'd imagine, so I can see that would be playing on his mind about going overseas. Although, going over to Cambridge and playing/studying over there would be a pretty...

Ah shit you're completely right. I thought he was part of the award winning tri-pod, but alas that was another Queensland and Wallaby great, Greg Holmes.

The Reds have had a strong scrum since 2011 when we had the legendary; B Daley, A Finga and L Weekes leading the charge.

He's arguably the second best loose head prop in the country, a former Wallabies Captain, Captain of the Reds and has almost 90 Wallabies caps. He also showed in that trial game that even after a few months away from the game to be in solid form. Anyone who isn't Brad Thorn can sympathize with...

What's the point of this 'salary cap' if the Rebels get to be the exception?

Even the Churchie coaches knew Quade couldn't/wouldn't tackle properly and shifted Pocock there to cover his arse!

Matty T had an issue prior to leaving Aus of being knocked out fairly regularly, yet no mention of it when he joined the Rebels. I have no problem with Barnes returning, but he should in no way displace Stewart from the 10. Barnes is there as a back up and a mentor. Stewart needs time and...

Couple of interesting takes from that. It'd be interesting to know what the end of year review states about the current coaching team meeting these measures.

Ta, had to re-check Reg's post on the first page to see he's signed to 2020. It could still be an agent wanting to get more dollars for his now hot Wallaby commodity. If Tui does push for a move it'll speak pretty loudly and I'd hope to see executive heads roll.

At this stage, I'd probably suggest its Tui's agent shopping him around to get more cash out of the Reds if he's off contract. If you follow Football (soccer kind), you'll know its transfer/silly season right now. So you don't get too phased about the murmurings until something is made...
