Worse. I love a good scrum, but since Bell came off there haven't been any. Too many scrum penalties, too much time setting up.

Nice debut J!

Debreczeni is looking controlled and effective.

Absolutely. From recollection in the trials Grealy dropped a couple of high balls but otherwise looked pretty energised and active.

Out of interest, Adam, in that case does the club get an exemption to the salary cap or do they still have to squeeze in under it?

Mate, I hear you. But this started from a post where Talakai was being written off due to age. At 31. For a prop. I'm not going to dive into Bell and Pone here, but Tupou? Have a look at his playing roster over the last two seasons. There is a reason that world rugby requires a back up entire...

Talakai is 31? Barely getting into his stride as a prop, surely. Life does not end at 30 guys.

Completely. Jeez, of the greatest of all time THPs he was, what, only top three? Utter rubbish. :(

Even Bishop, in his harshest criticism of Eddie, started with “be ready for the instantaneous bounce”. Which in its own is something to celebrate. in the mean time, Eddie isn’t going to die wondering. Now are we. It’s all out for the great rugby heist. (I’ll contemplate the claimed non ability...

Kiwi teams are notoriously off the pace at the start of the season. Not so much Australian teams even when we haven't had much class. Kiwis have been somewhat better the last couple of seasons though.

The Force are coming from a different sort of recent history. I don't have a problem with it.

God I am beginning to dislike "appraisals" that make no attempt to be up to date. I haven't watched Bernie is Europe either but I do welcome the on-going development of one of ours. It's great to see him back, and if the WB coaching is to enmesh Super coaches (not really comfortable with that...

I'm no SC person, but I had understood that a player can't really put on weight/muscle mass during the season and most lose it. On the other hand, aerobic fitness should be able to be built during the season? TBH I find the idea of hitting R1 without fitness pretty concerning, but I suppose if...

The only time it's a problem is when there is an over-abundance of coaching staff from a single Club.

Sexton is still playing international at 38.

? Works for me. enervate 1: to reduce the mental or moral vigor 2: to lessen the vitality or strength

Fair enough.
