Any news as to whether any of the trial games (Reds in particular) will be televised?? I've just set up my Foxtel HD (will be my first rugby season with Foxtel :cool:); I thought perhaps we might get one or two early games.

Inevitable injuries will mean Browning will get plenty of opportunities this year.

Izzy's ability under the high ball puts him leagues ahead of the rest at fullback. Last season Mogg reminded me of a young Latham. His best years are yet to come. He's not quite the dominant footballer that Folau is.

it is certainly a bargaining tool and a good one at that. What this does confirm is that Link has approached Fifita about switching to union and it has obviously been expressed to him that Link sees an opportunity in the no.8 position (i wouldn't be surprised if link mentioned that the Reds are...

Just playing devils advocate here but in the modern professional era should we really be demanding that putting on the Gold Jersey be the number one priority of our players. I think for a lot of players, family is their priority. The wear and tear of top flight rugby these days means careers can...

Another suggestion would be to allow a maximum of 1 overseas based player to be chosen in a Wallabies 23. That would provide a little bit of flexibility, whilst still discouraging players leaving Australia.

Train Without a Station, you say the system shouldn't be changed, then in your next post you agree there should maybe be some concessions. Simply assuming the status quo is what's best going forward is not a great way to do business. All I'm suggesting is that we consider our options going...

Emuarse, I like that backrow on paper, but at this point its tough to see MMM as a reliable option looking ahead to 2015. I think its much more likely that Palu will be fit than MMM. But who knows.

Sad to see him go because he would be a nice option to have available at the WC in 2015. To be honest, it was hard to see him in the first choice 22 come 2015 but you never know with injuries. He's not really a genuine 8 (we should be looking at Higgers and Palu to be our Wallaby no.8s for...

Given that this is a RUGBY forum im not going to get caught up in a league debate, but no way are those the two two best props in the NRL. Fifita could be in a year's time (currently plays off the bench for the roos) but Hargreaves would be well behind a number of props in the nrl. Matt Scott is...

Train Without a Station, I hear where you are coming from but you're talking about this bloke as if he hasn't played rugby since high school. That doesn't sound like the case. Sounds like the only reason he left the brumbies was for money / to get out of Canberra. Sure he could be either a...

I actually think the Reds would be a prime candidate. They need a replacement for Samo and he would fit the same mould.

With respect, we heard very similar comments this time last year about Folau. My excitement would be tempered if he had no rugby experience but that's not the case. If we're honest with ourselves, the talent in the current Kangaroos side is much more impressive than the talent available to the...

Yeh if Fifita were to switch over to Union he could be our answer to number 8. Big and Tough and has a decent rugby background. Any player that can make the Kangaroos forward pack with the quality in depth they have would be a huge asset to the Wallabies

Also there should be a car roaming the field. Either team can hijack the car at any time and use it to their advantage.

the idea of a hybrid game doesnt really interest me, but if it makes ARU some decent coin then i have no problem with it. If the ARU can make some money to put into a 3rd Tier Comp then it's beneficial

http://www.planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,16024_9057240,00.html If you ask me it seems kind of dumb that the ARU has agreed with Wales to play game next year. A loss to Wales 6 months out from the world cup will hurt us. Not saying we'll lose but why give them another shot. I would have...

Very true. I think the next step for guys like that is to get included in a test squad. The Wallabies usually assemble a large squad at the start of the year which generally includes a number of fringe players, and young up and coming players that they want to introduce to the fold. From my...

I think the real problem Beale faces is two-fold. 1) he would not be your first choice for 10,11,12,13,14 or 15; and 2) there are players the provide more utility on the bench. It looks as though McKenzie's preference is to have 1 spare playmaker/centre and one spare outside back on the bench...
