Forget about leaguies. We have enough talent here and abroad to meet our needs.

Really looking forward to the next time we play the Poms, with Tupou out-Sincklering Sinckler.

Naaaah. You're just saying that.:rolleyes:

I bumped it because I was interested in this year's answer to last year's question. A bit confusing, I grant you. But then Gordon is a confusing rugby club. On a serious note, they claim, or used to claim, that they had the biggest junior enrolment in the nation. It would be nice to think...

Bizarre tactics. Just dumb.

Maybe that is because they have huge strength in depth covering most positions. On the other hand, did somebody mention Brodie Retallick? How old was he on debut, 19? Circumstances alter cases. As a general principle, I believe we should be picking players on both form and potential: when...

If he is selected to play on the bench it will be the coach who decides what his role will be. Obviously that will depend on the state of the game at the time, the scores, the balance of advantage between the two packs. If the coach wants him to "have a dig" and he doesn't, that would be...

Where's me old mate Dave Beat, I wonder????

Very hard comp to pick this season.

Thank goodness for small mercies.

How many of this year's squad are local products?

The idea used to be that every club would be televised at least once.

Eh? That is precisely what you said - "let us not forget the Reds got thrashed etc etc". I will say it again - anybody who gives any weighting to that performance knows nothing about the game. Why did you mention it without mentioning the very unusual circumstances under which it took place...

Serious question: how many of these young guys in the current Force squad are local products? The best thing that can be done for the growth of Australian rugby in this context is for Mr Moneybags to throw a lot of it at proven Australians playing offshore. Local rugby will only grow if local...

Not after last night's display - that was pretty sad to watch.

Was that the game that took place a couple of days after Jordan Petaia's Dad passed away suddenly? Nobody with a rugby IQ in triple digits would give any weighting to performances that day.

There was a post a few days ago which compared the perceived value of all the positions. Once upon a time the tight head prop was the king. Now the locks are. Nothing to do with how much we value them, it is all about how much the richer NH franchises value them, which is a lot more than we can...

I don't disagree. That is what he is paid to do, and we must live in hope!!! One thing is for sure and certain, we have a much better chance of developing a long term winning team and playing style under Rennie than we did under Chubby.

The Beasties game is the first that we have watched right through. We were diabolical. If that was an improvement I am glad we missed the others!

This is not "fresh thinking". This sort of commercialisation of one of the most sacred days of our shared history is something that would have been unthinkable to older generations, you know, the ones who suffered in the conflicts. Our code suffered more than some other codes, particularly...
