Damn, do I love that kick from Gill. B-E-A-utiful.

Going to tip Eagles by 8, Vikings by 15, Whites by 10.

Going to dismiss the 3rd-4th div theory (though I like it, and it probably had some impact, if not the impact), it was Wests-Uni for 1sts-2nds-Colts, but Young-Wests and Uni-Vikings for 3rds-4ths. Also, heard that Wests 3rds were leading 19-12 with ten to go, final score of 24 all, so that would...

If nothing else, Powell is willing to get scrappy and take the hit instead of throwing a bad pass, and I respect the hell out of that. Dowsett probably preferred for his kicking (miles ahead of Powell) but completely agree with you, Brumbieman, he's the Tom Carter of scrumhalves (as always, hope...

Ready, Kerevi, Frisby, Neville, and Hunt have all shown glimpses this season, but I think I'm sold on them being around the squad for the England series.

17,119 at the game, disappointed, but I bet all of them have loved it. Great game.

Went out to the Owls-Lions game, Dowsett was the starting 9 for Owls and was dismal for the first hour, but looked to switch on in the final quarter to secure the win. Powell miles ahead imo, may well be a motivation problem for Dowsett.

Luck giveth, luck taketh away.

I know there's still 20min to go, but I'm loving how the Reds are playing. Hunt has been incredible and Frisby continues to look like the form 9. Shame we can't poach Tui!

Yeah, after the game today I was checking the fixtures for the Lions-Eagles game, how can there be so many repeats before it? Easts-Eagles in Round 3 and Round 5, both at Gungahlin, Lions-Vikings in Round 3 and Round 6, Royals look like the only two teams with balanced schedules. Edit: How can...

We'll see how he goes against Easts; apparently they made life hell for the Royals backrow today.

Went to Owls-Lions, Wests were the better team for 90% of the match and looked unlucky to go in scoreless at half time, though the Owls lost a player to the sin bin with less than a minute to go. The Lions' 9 got a good try while they had the man advantage and Wests lead by 7, but they lost a...

Friend got in touch, he emailed the Brumbies about the new jersey and says he got this back:

Was lazy, didn't see it, sorry.

Fox has mixed it up this year and brought it closer to their League model, but it should still work alright. Just for fun, some mates and I are taking the Mikey-Mike Challenge: Mike Harris is the captain and all players must cost less than Mike. Anyone who somehow costs more than Mike must be...

As much as I love the Joe Roff reference, it's like comparing Colin Slade to Dan Carter. But I also completely agree, you need a winger who can do more than run. Tomane showed he can chip, but that's about it, and it's something the new coach will have to work on. Folau probably needs the same...

My confidence in Lealiifano is low, despite his wonderful performance last night. If he keeps it up on the EOYT, of course I'd pick him. Someone in another thread said that form is the ultimate currency, and his is poor, while Tatekawa's is high (admittedly for Japan, given he got 0 play time...

Oh, I hadn't heard :( That's a real shame.

What's our aim with our next coach? Build a dynasty or survive until after the world cup?

Dargaville plays a similar style to McCabe, yeah? If so: Sio, Siliva, R. Smith, Carter, Fardy, Smiler, Doyle (I want Pocock's knees as far from rugby as they can be until april), Butler, White, To'omua, Tomane, Tatekawa, Kuridrani, Speight, Dargaville should be our lineup in round one.
