It is. And it’s a bit surprising. He’s really at an age where he should be in his prime, but really seems to have dropped. There was a story last year he was playing injured. I wonder if maybe he’s still hampered. Hopefully whatever it is he comes through it because he would be in our top 3...

Surely you’re not suggesting he’s slipped behind Creighton and Grealy in the pecking order. I really can’t see why he is getting so many knockers. His stats in the first game vs the Rebels were the best of any winger in the comp. He was quiet in the second game, but we had almost no ball and...

I just realised Daugunu wasn’t selected again. Is he injured too?

Yeah, I must admit I find it hard to follow Thorn giving Campbell a big plug to the Wallabies selectors and then moving him to wing. I get they want to give Petaia exposure there but it just seems to be pushing Jocks chances aside. I guess Thorn has been pretty consistent though on developing...

No doubt Ready will be relieved/excited to get another crack. Probably had a few drinks to celebrate.

Be interested to see how Connor Vest goes. The performance of Ryan Smith and impending departure of Salakai-Loto must surely be a huge motivator for a guy like Vest. I’ve only seen small amounts of him but he seems a whole hearted, gutsy type of player who Thorn would probably love to reward if...

Terrible luck for Alex Mafi. Has had an awful run with injury - not just the last 2 years but going back before that.

Holy crap.

Probably a reflection that a lot of the wingers didn’t stand out. At least two of us picked Perese on the wing. In my case it was partly a way to get both he & Paisami in, but also a reflection that I thought Flook was the only wing who was worth my of selection. Obviously I was taking a bit of...

Agree RR - some important holes to fill. Some of the props have now been in our system 2-3 years and need to really step up this year. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) leaves big shoes and there is a fair drop from our top 3 to the rest - although Uru is obviously a very handy option, and maybe that’s his spot going...

Sometimes the other players just don’t run the right holes.

I’m certainly not campaigning against the guy. I thought Ala'alatoa was great. My only point was I think you take Tupou out and I’m not convinced the Reds win that game. But I’m not going to argue Ala'alatoa is a bad/unworthy selection.

I originally had Ala'alatoa - but then on reflection I thought Tupou was instrumental in turning the tide of the game.

Week 3. Some good contenders this week. 1. Bell 2 Kaitu’u 3. Tupou 4. Swain 5. Rodda 6. Valetini 7. McReight 8. Wilson 9. Fines-Leleiwasa 10. JOC (James O'Connor) 11. Flook 12. Stewart 13. Paisami 14. Perese (I believe he finished on the wing and that works for me) 15. Campbell

Well - I thought that was a good contest. Plenty of spice and plenty of barbs exchanged. Some clever work and some less subtle stuff. The game was pretty good too.

Brumbies are so good at bringing their young guys in and them having an impact.

Nice break Donaldson and nice work Harris to get there is support.

I’ll be interested to know what complaints Brumby Runner has with Berry tonight.

That was sharp work by Reimer. I know that Berry hasn’t rewarded them tonight but Tahs front row really are going well this year. Unfortunately at some point they’ll get replaced.

Bell really is quality
