HJ - trying to follow the above, given Marlin local boy Rory has been used for some exposure. Playing good ruby at the moment Rory - keep it up. If he was running around with the Marlins this year am i correct in understanding he would be 5 points because of previous playing in juniors and...

Well done Tummy.

We see this allot now off line outs, when you look at the reasoning behind it there is some common sense that comes with it.

You hoping Badger gets a release for the run home;)

based on last night I'd bring in big Kev, and have Poey at 8. Jumping 6, and 2 jumping locks (whilst not in the squad I'll throw Luke Joness name out there).

In summary, Phipps, QC (Quade Cooper), To'omua, and Kuindrani, i reckon this combo will develop into awesome - but needs game, after game to develop.

Really???? Wingers stopped throwing the ball in because line outs had the attacking team getting the ball and having speed out wide was preferred. Hookers gradually drifted from the tram tracks when lifting became prominent, prior to that a good hooking could get scraps when the ball was...

I see this more and more now, the 2 in the tram tracks isn't the norm now. I see it at club, super, and internationals.

Even more so when they both play high quality for the full 80.

Agree, however are the defensive patterns about attacking structure? It's an interesting topic this one.

I will add though, whilst happy, not excited as its game one of the campaign and a heap of room for improvement.

Spot on. Hooper was having telling plays the whole game, that hit on burger from the scrum just before his try was the type of inspirational game changers he does. Same as that penalty Poey earnt when he announced his arrival. QC (Quade Cooper) to stay at ten, game time will show his brilliance of 2011 but...

Moore was a great captain last night. He deserves recognition in his captaincy, the way he lead the team and kept them in the game.

Those negatives are positives as room for improvement. I'd much rather be peaking in a couple of months from now. What I took from it. Found a very good number 8. Skelton wouldn't be a first choice lock against the ABs, or Boks, QC (Quade Cooper) will become better and better as combo's develop and players...

Yeah do it

yes

This pick its shows the reasons why I'd like to see both Hoops and Poey on the field at once. They play different games. They both go at 100% consistently. Both do inspirational things to lift the team. Whilst it is just a still photo i reckon it says allot.

Well - Gordon well played yesterday, and you had Uni in your sights the week before. Man i like our second grade side, another strong performance - drew the good straw doing their match reports each week. Vaka Manu had another huge game - he creates serious dents in the D and is now doing it...

I haven't seen the Horwitz play, so can't pass comment with any authority. But. Reece Hodge had him in the U20s, and is carving it up this year after a year off with injury. With the Marlins siting top of table and from what I thats due 2 players ha ha - Hodgey must be doing more than alright...
