Spot on E&E (where are your ears by the way?). The week off from finishing 1st or 2nd is a huge advantage after a long season. They build and taper well and have benches that would start for most/all other clubs.

Agree that they both defend well and as long as we have Genia, Ioane, Beale and/or O'Connor to drive the attack it's a well balanced backline. Barnes is just keeping the 10 spot warm for someone else, but will be OK against Wales.

The Phantom's punch against Wales, when our forwards (or at least one of them) stood up and said 'enough is enough'

Yes, they have played Shute Shield matches there at night under lights.

Like others, I wish the ARU could communicate what success looks like for our game at various levels. Growth needs to measured by quality as well as quantity. As an example, Starbucks grew rapidly and then closed thousands of store, so growth for growth sake doesn't cut it for me. Nature also...

That's why the world is a beautiful place...people have different opinions. Let me state again that I hope he does do the hard work and realises his potential. He's not a tall guy so he'll need to get the weight/strength/mobility ratios right going forward. As these guys play higher level...

I wish the Force well and hope SNK plays great for them. Looking back after watching SNK closely at the Waratahs, I don't think I've ever seen a player with the instinct to kick when he should run, and run when he should kick like he has.

Hear ya, but we need all positions to be able to play rugby, not just their position. I hope he does the work and kicks on, but as Palmer is finding out at the Wallabies, scrummaging just isn't enough. Johnson had a crack all day, with more hit ups than anyone. I just wish he was 15-20cms taller...

Newbie Agree with most of your report but the CAS prop Satiu was a liability. He walks around the field too often, is a target for attacking runners because of his lack of mobility and poor lateral footspeed. Golden rule is that if a player looks fat, they are and he needs some serious...

Too good

Call him SNK, Sam, Sammy or the Knightster, it will not matter cause he just cannot play. Same for DH, Dave, Davo or Harves, he is way out of his depth too. With the high turnover of players at the Force, these 2 might prove useful doing airport pick ups and drop offs.

You practice law like My Cousin Vinny, but this is a Kangaroo court.

The Waratahs could save money in 2013 by using Tom Carter as Tah Man.

GPS II's won 36-25 according to the other thread.

Yes GPS 35 (7 tries no goals) def CAS 12 (2 tries and 1 conversion..Wileman & Paterson both scored tries) GPS Goal kicking was atrocious and score was restricted as a result. GPS No's 10 & 15 shared the kicking duties and most of the kicks went nowhere near the posts. Good start to CAS with 75...

Sorry missed that match

I am undecided on Timani too. Successful coaches agree that no player can be too big, too fast or too strong so perhaps that is why Deans is giving this big strong guy every chance.

I like your thinking and you and West Harbour should be congratulated for your responsible management. I'm just struggling to see how another competition can be established, if it is not self funding and relies on hand outs. This not aimed at you, it's a challenge for the game and all of us.

Not entering into this debate but again I have a concern for Clark. Who is advising him to play when the injury requires surgery AND affects his performance? Somebody, anybody, step in and help the kid make some smart decisions. There is life after schoolboy rugby and he should be told that once...
