Or one that rates Horne higher than Betham.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing this morning. It specifically reminded me of the Force game here in Perth. Pushing too many passes in greasy conditions. If the Tahs trajectory is followed by the Wobs then watch out the teams on the EOYT.

In regards to the quick taps, no doubt it was a pre planned tactic, but it concerns me that they don't have the smarts in greasy conditions straight in front of the posts to stop and realise that isn't the appropriate time. I don't mind quick taps, but even if they are a tactic we are going to...

So true, you see this every week for Wobs and hardly ever for the ABs. Maybe we just aren't hungry enough.

I think it is time to revisit the Scrum engagement process again. In the NRC game on Thursday night and the test tonight, the ref is wasting time trying to stop the front rows pre-engaging. Just do away with the bind call and let the front rows engage, then the scrum becomes a pushing contest...

I was against the points change for penalty/conversion originally, but I have decided it was a masters stroke. My concern was that it could diminish the importance of kicking for goal, but with the number of tries being scored, in part because of the change they are getting just as much...

That's the conundrum of Michael Hooper. He is easily the most consistent, best player the Wallabies have, but he is not filling one of the core requirements of an Australian number 7. Our backrow balance has been off since Ben Mowen left and I'm trying to work out why those two complimented each...

I think Jackson absolutely made the correct call at the last scrum. The idea of the ref calling the ball in is that it stops the teams pushing before the ball goes in, which is exactly what Argentina did.

The Boks biggest problem is their own consistency works against them against the AB's. Because the ABs know they will turn up every time, the AB's never take them lightly and they never get the chance to pull a surprise over the all blacks like the Wallabies occasionally do, that we still rarely...

Just watched the replay of Aus v Arg from Rosario last year. I think we underestimate how much we miss Ben Mowen. No one ever laments the loss of him while eulogising Noodles Kimlin and Kane Douglas, but he was a proven Wallaby. When he announced he was leaving we all said he would have only...

Id consider setting off a targeted nuclear explosion that would set Qld adrift from the rest of Australia so you can go play in the PNG comp. Kings into SA Conference. Japan into Aus Confrerence Arg into NZ conference. You know it makes sense.

So it seems SANZAR have finally pulled their collective heads from their combined rectum and discovered Singapore is a woeful deal. Though I do wonder how much the change has occurred because they are worrying about having to prop up a financial White Elephant more than because in all metrics...

You have to realise that when you mention you follow Rugby in WA, 95% of people don't know the difference between Rugby and League. That's no exaggeration. They either start talking about League players or the Hopoate incident. When you mention the Wallabies you just confuse the fuck out of them.

I've got a solution to the lack of Skeltons "standard lock skill set". Play him at 8. Too soon?

Congrats to the Reds on hooking Taniela away from the Kiwis. I just can't see him going anywhere else. Article I read back in May said his brother was working as a miner in QLD. If you read the articles it sounds like the brother is pulling the strings. And thankfully he is pulling him this...

In the cold sober dawn of morn, there probably shouldnt be any surprise Link has opted to retain the starting loose forwards (excepting injured Palu). If he makes wholesale changes and we get smashed by the Argies pack it looks like he has over reacted. These 5 guys in the scheme of things are...

Yeah, just grown so much. Think back to when Sharpey wound him up, he's come along way.

No, you can't make me.

I have never much rated Coles, but his efforts last night were excellent. Finally looking like a genuine first choice test hooker.
