I think we should ask Cheika his opinion of Deans and what theories he has to make the last 3 pages relevant to the thread.

I like the idea of bringing back the Aust Rugby Shield but wouldn't want it in place of the Super B/3rd tier. Country and subbies isn't where the next group of pro players will come from. These groups need to have a rep pathway to encourage players to play the game in these areas not to feed pro...

Bumped into Malie tonight. He's put on some size since last year. Almost didn't recognise him. Looking more like a real hooker.

A hangover from living in Canada for a while. We need to win a medal at the Olympics.

The ARU are themselves coming to terms with the difference between themselves and Australian Rugby. I think JON thought they were one in the same and there may be a few involved who still think this. I am actually liking Pulver and what he has been doing since he started. He seems to have a...

Will you be doing this drill at training on Friday night?

Wasn't there a call be people for Timani to play 8. You could have Simmons on the bench and move Timani to the back if there's an injury.

The country game is the only one where we'll see guys not contracted. The super squads, with the EPS, have enough to cover. Maybe a prop off the bench in the Tah's game but can't imagine they'll get much time.

I think Douglas will be with the Wallabies and we'll get a chance to watch Skelton start.

I'm expecting a much better showing from the Reds this week. I can put last week down to a horrendous 40 hour trip to SA. They need to be much more clinical and not panic. This rubbish about no pick and drive has to be looked at. There are times when it works and times when it doesn't. They need...

The thing that both Cheika and Link have in common is that when they have made mistakes in the past they have learnt from them. If you are the coach you have to think about why you do things a certain way. Cheika has a clear understanding of what he wants from the team and is clear to the squad...

It will be interesting to see if Taps starts and they shift CFS to the wing or just replace Ioane with Shippers or Moz. I actually thought Moz was good at 15 last week and think he deserves to keep his spot. As for Cooper being effected by Deans' comments, I doubt it. I don't think Robbies...

Well done to the 4 guys who tipped 4/5 this week. The gap has closed on Red Heavy who now only leads by 2. Leakytap 4 Southernx 4 Sunnysideup 4 Crusher 4 Jets 3 crackers 3 Elmasri 3 TD 3 Red Heavy 3 Will 3 Rugbywatch 3 red heavy 2 East Coast Aces 2 Refabit 2 Wheatman 2 Pauly 1

I watched Sunnybank v Norths on the weekend. It was a patchy performance from both sides. When Sunnybank were on they looked very dangerous and their backline had too much class for Norths. 9 is a big issue for the Dragons though and Ben Meehan going to the U20's has left them with a hole. Tom...

The 2 real surprises for me were Cummins and Dennis. I can understand Cummins to some degree as he's Robbie's type of player but think his spot should have gone to a halfback. The Burgess theory makes some sense but it could also be a case of Robbie letting the 9's play the extra Super games...

You have to question how many Super players would make the team. The Reds play the Lions on the Saturday, the Country game is on the Tuesday and the Tah's play the Lions the following Saturday. That doesn't leave much time to prepare especially considering all the other Super teams have games on...

This game is the reason I am glad I have IQ. Can have a good night sleep and get up at 6 and watch the game as though its live but i get to fast forward through half time.

Well done Rebels. Well deserved win, not sure about that try though.

I was thinking Lucas would shift Moz to the wing.
