Bit harsh Gnostic, although I agree with you completely on Ma'afu and McCalman. There's what, ten new caps in the forty man squad? Hopefully some of them will be given a proper run. I don't mind that Vuna has been picked in the squad - he's a linebreaker and knows how to find the tryline...

Neville over Jones is harsh. Not happy about Ma'afu, McCalman and S. Fainga'a. Lucas is unlucky. Decent squad though, we've seen a lot worse.

Abject. Heads must roll.

He's a really, really average 10 at the moment. His running game is absolutely elite, but he just doesn't set up the guys around him. When we've got Beale and Cooper running around, trying to wedge JOC (James O'Connor) in there doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Shifting him to accomodate a lesser player, kiap, he still has to be there for the Wallabies ;) Bang him out on the wing for the Rebels and give him a roving commission like Digby at the Reds. What I do like about the Rebels is that they're recruiting young players. PAE, Pyle, Neville, Jones...

Mitchell looks much better at 12 than he does out on the wing. His distribution is still a bit shaky, but it's getting there. When he shifted out last week, he got absolutely burnt a couple of times on defence.

How's Taps at 13? Inman has been solid this year without ever really lighting the world on fire. Beale - JOC (James O'Connor) - Taps would be a tasty looking midfield.

Good Melbourne boy coming home after the Reds poached him as a junior. Phipps Beale Vuna Taps Inman JOC (James O'Connor) Kingi

Why bother? He's determined to be bitter about things. Easier to blame the Rebels and the ARU than accept that the Force might have made some mistakes.

It was March the last time the Force won a game.

Dry your eyes princess.

Exactly. And being from Melbourne, I'm just going to point out the AFL as well. An absolute stack of the great Geelong team of the last five years or signed contracts that paid them way below their market value because they felt they were part of a team that was going to win premierships. The...

Rebels named, same team as last week.

That doesn't fit the narrative though, stoff, once again the poor Queenslanders are having their players poached. It's the only thing that's stopped them from winning at least as many titles as the Saders. Anyway, here's the actual press release. Pretty blah stuff.

Arthur, I was with you until you said Spies was a workhorse. He makes Higgers look like Brad Thorn, absolute show pony. Outrageous that Phipps keeps getting picked over Kingi, he must be an absolute beast at training, that's the only possible thing I can think of.

Cheers buddy. They've all been fantastic pickups for the Brumbies. Whoever your talent scout is at the moment they're earning their pay.

Harsh as bro. Sure, I'm bored, but still - three missed tackles for three tries.

All of this. Also, not sure on the contract status of Vaea, Fardy and Auelua but I hope the Rebels are seriously thinking about them.

Did big Robbie Fruean end his international ambitions yesterday? I'm going to go with yes.
