Calm down! Brissie mates came for a week. They leave. The last meal they shared before leaving was pizza from here. People (apparently) tweet all sorts of crap that is somehow, impossibly, less deep or interesting than it appears. Having said that, I think he's on the move, and if he feels...

So long, Chis, and thanks for all the fond memories.

Hopefully he can help turn this disaster into a good 2012 season by connecting this pain to it's root causes, even if he isn't going to be there.

For mine they've exceeded just desserts for their crazy brand of player politics, and are now to be pitied. Perhaps they just need to be scattered to the four winds so as to break the curse. It's like they broke into Tutankhamun's tomb when they sacked Friend.

I'll thank Clark not to label AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) "another well-oiled machine". With the porn star moustaches in vogue in Canberra, I don't need that image.

Moorestored.

So, 10-7 Brumbies over the Lions. This is where they have to build back into their game, with good options and no errors. I wonder.

Ahh Mahfood (gives away a penalty). Had forgotten you were out there. Thats more like it. Makes Kepu look like a joke. Oh, wait a minute.

Nice to see Moore and Chapman, the back row working, and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)/McCabe have real intent. Is Jake White watching in the stands?

Kafe says the Ponies have good shape at the moment (7-0 up, 12mins) and he's right though the Lions are not exactly punishing them. But they do look well balanced tonight.

Wow, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) threw a long cut out pass to his right. Move over QC (Quade Cooper). Nice to see Moore bullocking forward.

So the draw has been kind, till last night, to the NZ teams, in that they haven't had to play the Reds until week 11, and not at Suncorp until last night. No need to be sensitive about it, you could still go ok.

Pfft. Last year, Reds genius. This year, perennially injured Reds discard. :fishing

Yup. Reds 3. Horwill 2. Simmons 1. Higginbotham, despite what seem to be consistent weaknesses - niggle and propensity for the touch line (having said that, he plays pretty well along it!) Rebels 3. Mortlock 2. Lippman 1. Phipps. Pain in butt that gets away with it, useful trait for 9.

I think their Mum decided they all needed to be in the same team and so tasked them to different positions, despite their similarities. You can see it in their weaknesses. Anthony is running in treacle when he tries to chase down a nippy back or convert a half-gap. He'll make Robbie Fruen look...

I would love him to say he was watching and tweeting about the NRL. Does bringing the NRL into disrepute carry a SANZAR reward?

He's true blue then.

Still, in the grand scheme of things, and in the context of a game chock full of of ambiguous yet important laws that are hard to adjudicate, it's of no great significance. Unless like shipperley you do something ridiculous. He hopefully has learnt a useful lesson. Apart from that he wasn't out...

The theory that wearing headgear makes a player less careful with his scone in contact would have interesting ramifications for Taf, who appears to do everything head first.

I struggled with that one too. The law says 'clean catch' but I struggled to find a definition. It seemed that caught without it touching the ground or another player was enough. Unless he just failed to call (or wasn't heard) properly. Still, not a good look looking hopefully at the ref as you...
