How do you know that he's altered his game to suit Robbie? WHat makes you think that he's altering his game as opposed to the opposition working him out and knowing how to shut him down better? If Quade and Ewen have been listening to Robbie, why hasn't he been defending in the front line more...

I like how the game is right now. Sometimes you get boring games and sometimes you get absolute beauties - it doesn't matter what the sport is or how much you love it, that's just the nature of sport. I don't believe that delibertely trying to slow down opposition ball is against the spirit of...

Surely the Brumbies would prefer a wet track. The missing players from the Blues are Luatua and Ta'avao.....big ball-carrying, hard-hitting forwards. A dry trck would suit Ranger, Saili, Piatau, Moala and Halai to a tee I'd say.

Is Ali reading my posts?! Cheeeehoooooo!!

DAMN!! Luatua is out for this one and it looks like Ta'avao is as well. Please retire after this year Ali so we can seriously start getting some good young locks coming thru!!

I don't believe that QC (Quade Cooper) really tries to play a certain style to please RD. To do so would cause the whole team to play a different style. If McKenzie was telling him to play one style and RD was telling him to play another, who do you really think QC (Quade Cooper) would listen to? How pissed off do you think...

This reminds me of when Graham Henry got the AB job again over Deans back in 2007. If you had listened to talkback radio or read too many letters to the editor, on-line posts etc you would have thought that the whole country were RD lovers and felt cheated by Henry's re-appointment. The truth...

Bahahaha..... as a well-know NZ billboard mite read -'Yeah right' I think both Ranger and Cooper were just as surprised that the other person was that close. Ranger cuts underneath and Cooper just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I don't think either were really preapred for...

LOL....you're surely not being serious....

Played too much touch? Moved to Australia?

Yeah....I don't know. I mean, if you look at their line-up, it doesn't shout 'unstoppable' attack at you like a lot of other teams do........but they are definitely scoring a lot of points - the opposition is just scoring more!

I hope the Blues turn up fired up for this one. They don't have an easy home run and winning this game after the loss last week MUST be a good performance. Apart from the Rebels game (does every team that plays the Rebels suddenly decide that defence is optional for that one game?!) their...

Forget Cooper for a min......do you think the Wallaby forward pack will put at least some 2nd thoughts in the BIL pack? Is there anyone who will put a bit of hurt on? I think it's been a long time since teams respected the Wallaby pack in terms of really getting hurt. They pull out a...

Did Quade Cooper show his loyalty by staying in rugby for substantially less than what he was being apparently offered from other clubs/codes? Or did he use those offers to bumb up his price even more? Don't get me wrong, I think QC (Quade Cooper) should try and get the best deal he can but let's not pretend...

I instantly thought of Christian Cullen, Tana Umaga and Caleb Ralph.....

I'd go with Rene Ranger at 13. Someone has to take over from Conrad Smith at some stage, may as well start getting him some game time now and keep him from signing overseas. He hasn't signed overseas yet has he?

Didn't get my transfers done this week which meant I only had 10 players and 2 of them were James O'Conner and Ben Tamifuna who both had negative scores. Bloody hell......

I can't comment on this particular game but Ranger is a pretty good defender. He's apparently missed 9 tackles this year in total for an 85% tackle rate while also making 7 pilfers (3rd behind only Liam Gill and G. Smith) and having one of the tbest turn-over ball numbers as well. I don't know...

Speaking for myself, I'm not salivating at an opportunity to put the boot in - for a long time I have said here that he could be the best 10 on the planet but a lot of it is in his head. I don't know about feeling sorry for him though. This is a young man who has more opportunities than dare I...

I don't think anyone thought he would be reformed. I think we thought he would take his job a bit more seriously though. I mean, he MUST have a real problem for this to happen again so quickly or he just doesn't care.
