What we have seen of Skelton so for would have me saying he is far better than Tamani. He works harder for a start and the rough edges of his game can be attributed to inexperience. Bloody fantastic effort from the Tahs last night and those who got out to support them.

Tahs are going to give it one hell of a crack. They have that mindset these days and some of the fringe players will step right up into their opportunity as they did for the Force game last weekend. The problem is they are getting close to the tests now and will be more set. Suncorp went off...

I think what the Lions are going to throw at us is the massive question. I have said my piece on the issues and the improvements I think could happen in the backs so will leave that alone though the balance is a real concern for me. The forwards is going to be a big guessing game. I think the...

I see the tactics they want to play but I don't think they will get the job done against this Lions side. I find it all uninspiring. I also suspect we are going to be deficient in having a plan B when are aims don't just come off. My idea of a threatening Wallaby back line would be 9/...

I just think the balance of our backline just doesn't cut it. We have fantastic players but with JOC (James O'Connor) at 10 they are all finishers without a genuine play maker to create the opportunities. What shits me about the Quade omission is that he is that play maker that can provide the opportunity with...

Sorry fellas but if you want to talk of the Wallabies 31 man squad fair dinkum then the merits of the squad are a fair discussion and the players selected and omitted are fair game. How the squad was selected is fair game. The benefits and weakness of the squad are fair game. Who should or...

Betham could be a bolter me thinks. Mogg also. Given the size of the tour it is a must we get Pyle established in test rugby. I hope Deans is gone and Quade is back.

When we left Brisbane on Sunday morning, the gate next to us had a flight for Newcastle and a bloke on it in a combined country track suit. I recognised him as 19 and he is one big unit.

Lots said about how the Reds played an open and bold game but I thought the Lions gave it a good go also. If that is what they can put on without combinations they are going to be a frightening prospect. Our forwards I think are a fair chance at parity but your backs will outclass ours. We...

Moz just got very lucky. He had a blinder last Saturday but his form all year has been nothing flash.

In all fairness Cowen is a massively improved player over the last couple of years and he never gets the credit he deserves for that.

I don't disagree Sully but good luck with that. I don't believe any set time is appropriate but a history of progressing the national side despite the way the game is played is constantly evolving is a must. Mr Deans just hasn't done that.

Not going to hold Quade to a higher standard than myself. Chances are if you tip a drink over me, I will knock your fucking block off. I am glad he didn't for his sake but I wouldn't blame him for dropping that dickhead if he did. We can all be holier than thou but even the best of men have...

I Try not to.

One game as captain and it can be concluded that he is no captain. That's bullshit fellas. He certainly didn't stuff up as captain last night but some of the attributes of a captain are built with time and experience. Ref management as an example. It was a mature performance and he did his...

Just a sensational night. Really proud of our boys. Sat in the nose bleeds at Suncorp and am now convinced there is not a bad view at that ground. Just sensational and won't be paying for platinum seats again. The Lions touring party fellas were fantastic blokes. The blokes behind us at the...

Settle down mate. That kind of shit really isn't called for. Critique his performance by all means but this is just cheap this sort of comment. Probably best not to post angry.

Darwin has a population of about 90,000 but if you take the surrounding areas it is about 125,000. It is about the same size as Canberra space wise. I envy Brisbane's access to top rugby but I wouldn't trade Darwin for the world. The fishing alone is sensational. This has nothing to do with...

You never know with these sorts of games. Munster was never meant to beat the All Blacks. I can have a fair guess at what WA rugby fans didn't want and that is to pay good money to see their team on an oval represented by a bunch of blow ins. The Lions game is a massive deal and WA rugby is...

I think Link will have something cooking for this game. He has a habit of planning a few games ahead aka Bulls 2010 and Stormers 2011. Not saying it is right but may account for the lull in the Reds form of late. Set piece will be a tough day at the office though around the park bodes well...
