I have no issue with the penalty try. Given how close Phipps got despite being held back is a reasonable indicator that without the foul play he would of got there. I am not convinced about the potential knock on though. It looked very suspect to me. None the less, well done Rebels and...

One week at a time fellas and take each game one at a time. The Reds D is good and that will be the key this week. Discipline must also be spot on or else we will suffer. I would go a 5:2 split on the bench as that extra forward will be handy to keep the engine going at the breakdown for the...

Tahs will win this. They have the momentum where the Brumbies taking the Saders loss into the bye not so good. This is an important game for the Brumbies.

9/ Genia 10/ Cooper 11/ Digby 12 Lilo/Fainga'a (I would like to see more of Fainga'a at 12 for the Reds.) 13/ AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14/ JOC (James O'Connor) 15/ Izzy I think that is balanced between attack and defense. I would more so like to see an attacking game plan for these blokes to flourish under. I don't buy the default...

Would love to know the question Will is responding to in that original quote that started the thread. It would actually add context to what he is saying.

Just my experience but I have found that Indigenous people gravitate towards AFL above all as they are very aerobic athletes in nature. It is also a pathway and tool in achieving social reforms in that it is very often a very effective medium between two vastly different cultures. Besides...

I agree Richo. I have stereotyped where people handle these things differently. It is such a grey issue in that regard. I as all just hope he finds the catalyst to address his issues.

I quit smoking over five years ago. It was my fourth attempt and it was that one slip up each time that brought me undone. Only one smoke and I will be right doesn't work or it didn't for me anyways. I still get cravings but your resolve to resist the temptation becomes stronger over time...

No real surprises sadly. Did anyone actually think a five week break would cure anything? It is classic behaviour for an alcoholic to re-offend when his stuff ups just get covered up. Nobody has acted in Kurtley's best interests here. They will spin you a pile of bullshit that they are looking...

The Back row looks tired. We have put the same back row all year and they were on fire but have dwindled a bit which says they are tired. Baeu and Radiki should be brought in or onto the bench to add more back row energy. Only as a victim of team needs and not form Ed O'Donoghue can make way...

That sounds alright. Do they run on Saturday. Flight home is at 9pm and apart from seeing some relations out at Springwood I have not much to do.

Sounds good Sully. I will PM you my phone number and we can work something out. Cheers redstragic. I am a XXXX drinker and getting it fresh is always a highlight coming to town. Normally good for a few beers but always concious of the need to view the game rather than the urinal. :) if...

Tahs got to be real patient and don't lose faith in the game plan. Go and get 'em.

What has the weather been like in Brisbane? Starting to chill down at night? I am coming down for this match. Plane gets in about 11:00am on Friday. Staying at a place about 10 minute walk from Roma street station so will foot falcon to the game. Any ideas where to get a good feed before...

Blindside selection now tougher than ever. MMM looked to have it locked with Mowen chasing him. Then MMM goes down and the stars align for Mowen. Now in the last couple of weeks Higgers stands up with good performances and being the incumbent will help his claim. What will the lions do is...

Yep so you are more so refering to the caller? Kev just isn't one of them I agree. He could be but it is a skill learnt over time and experience. Time we don't have and experience won't come as there is little requirement in the side he plays most of his rugby for. I know this will cause...

Calling the lineout you mean? Kev is a fine option at lineout time and is often used as you would expect any lock to be, just not as the caller. I don't mean to be pedantic but is that what you mean?

Better to complain when you win rather than when you lose. Good on him if that is how he feels. Official is the key word as he has gone through the right channels.

Phipps I don't think has really had the luxury of playing behind a dominant pack and often this gets overlooked when judging him. This most likely will change when he joins the Tahs.
