I'm taking it that Kahui didn't play on the weekend which will save my ass as I had O'Conner on the bench. Not the first time the Crusaders have f**kd up my rugby weekend....LOL

Really happy for Folau. I think he's like SBW where people like to hate because he folloewed big dollars and he's enjoying what he does - whether in league, AFL or union. I hope he stays but if he doesn't, that's no reason not to take full advantage of everything he brings to the table now

Gutted that we lost. Was playing a gig last night so had one eye on the TV while playing but Mrs Bullrush filled me in on a few details. She kept going on about how lazy Ali Williams was in the last 20min or so. I mentioned Henry factor earlier and I think the defence is starting to show...

I reckon Hooper might be a good pick this week to have in your team.....

I'm calling it for the Blues by 7. Need a big week from the forwards in particular and some big physicality from the backs in both defence and offence. Blues will need to be very strong but really smart to win this one......if they want to be in the mix come play-offs, they need to make this...

I went back and forth over picking Folau last week and didn't.....I was kicking myself on Fri nite...LOL.

I think this is getting harder each week. Moved up in the G&GR League last week though to 6th. The thing that I struggle with making choices based on my head and not my heart. I HATE picking players who are playing against the Blues and I just have a dislike for some players so I won't pick...

I'd be surprised if he is in the squad this year...... The winger spots will be a massive fight....Masaga, Gear, Savea, Guilford....when does Jane come back? Throw in Ranger, Poki and maybe Halai as bolters...

Now that's a hard point to argue!! LOL

LOL.....it has already been argued here that it is impossible to know what was in a players head and therefore determine if an action was deliberate. Otherwise someone could easily claim the same thing about Horwill and make the case that he should have gotten 10-odd weeks as well.

Hmmmmm......interesting thought on Anscombe. He wouldn't push Dagg out of the 15 jersey but who are the other contenders? Piatau, Ben Smith.....does anyone still think Andre Tayler is AB material this year?

Ahhhh....OK fair enough. My point was that Mealamu claimed he was simply trying to clean-out which is obviously a legal part of the game. He still copped a two-game suspension if memory serves me correctly. I think the panel accepted his story but because he had in essence actually...

LOL....doesn't stir the nest so much as provide a good laugh. Especially because even when we're playing like shit.....we're still winning!

No-one is whinging about a forward getting rucked. Some of us just don't think a kick to the head = a ruck. Yep - it is just an opinion that Horwill targeted Palmer's head. The opposing opinion is that he didn't. I hope you and Scoey weren't one of the posters complaining about Mealamu's...

Looks like big Albert Nikora will get another romp with George Moala dropped for breaking team protocols or something..... Hopefully he gets some space like he did in the trial game :)

Whether Dan or the Brumbies felt too fussed or aggrieved by it is irrelevant. If it was bad enough, it should have been cited. Do we wait until a serious injury actually happens to take action on foul play?

How fired up do you get over a draw?

I don't know actually. Jackson Willison isn't a bad player but I would prefer having a bit more experience on the field against the Reds - especially defensively.

Looking forward to this game as well. The Blues defence seemed to have stepped up going from their last game against the Canes and with Graham Henry running the defence (I think) they will hopefully keep improving. F Saili won't be playing and I think Moala is still suspended so their...

I don't know what the fuss is about with RD taking 3 half-backs to the RWC. I thought this was pretty common practice because if your first-choice 9 goes down, you only have 1 who will play and no cover on the bench. If RD had only taken 2, in the event Genia got injured the day before the...
