Yeah I'm not sure about hynes. Can someone update his injury status? He's a good safe player and I think he would definatly add something in both attack and defence against a team like the All Blacks. Turners also good, so I'll leave this one up to deans.

Give them some more funding to cover the costs. I think they would like it as they could send a scout to the under 15 state carnival and try and convince all the best players to play for there club. Its a way of identifying and consolidating talent for the future, especially for the kids who...

Conspire with the IRB, NZRU and English RU to kill off rugby league once and for all.

Get a player addicted to hard drugs. Then rehabilitate him and make a prime time tv doco about it. But seriously, in addition to everything that has been said: - I would also reform Qld club (and to a lesser extent Schoolboys) rugby. There are a whole host of small changes that could be...

Thats why i said you reform the club comp so there is U16 and u18 in senior clubs and then pick the combined team from the results at the district carnival for U18.

Just on the topic of junior pathways. I've thought long and hard about this and I've come to the concluison that a sort of third way is the best solution at this point in time. Now I dont know enough about the nsw system to comment, yet if I was to restructure Adolescent rugby in Qld it would...

What does everyone think about AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) playing 13 perminantly? Im in favour of it as I like Ioane on the wing and beale at fullback, and I dont think Horne is test standard.

If hodgesons fit will he start on the bench ahead of brown?

Yeah me to, infact I also did a complete backflip on quade this season as well. During the train rides home after reds games in 07, 08 and 09, the most common words heard when eavesdropping were, "fucking quade, why is he still in the team". Good to see he's finally found his feet.

Chis was briliant at the line out, and the scrum got worse once he went off. I think he showed enough to keep his spot for at least another week. I dont think he's proven himself, but i think he added to the victory, and has the potential to find a bit of form and maybe push for a the number 3...

Great first half, shithouse second half. Moment of brilliance at the end. This team is very young and will grow over time, one thing I think the wallabies need is more mentor types to be running water and giving chats in the dressing rooms - state of origin style, so that they can restore some...

Beer before grass, you're on your arse, Grass before beer, you're in the clear. And by grass I mean mowing the lawn...

I have always been pro arc, I loved it back in 07 and I still have fond memories. But, as it is not a viable option at this point in time, I think an academy super 5/6 comp, with maybe a pacific island barbarians team based on the Gold Coast or even a Japanese team, is the best option at this...

1. Robinson 2. TPN 3. Alexander 4. Horwill 5. Sharpe 6. Elsom 7. Pocock 8. Palu 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. Mitchell/AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)/Hynes 12. Giteau 13. Chambers/AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Ioane 15. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)/Beale/Hynes 16. Moore 17. Slipper 18. Mumm/Vickerman/Chizzzzz - Vicks and Chiz have more potential, but...

Is hoiles still injured? I'm watching wallabies v All blacks in 06, when we beat them in melbourne, and hoiles is doing a cracking job off the bench. I would have thought he would be in the squad at the moment, he would definatly add alot of much needed maturity coming off the bench for the...

I think we found the reds new tech guy. welcome jameson

Thats pretty much the qld school holidays, and 4th term in queensland doesnt really count, so its good for the boys from up north.

But it would be a farce as even the top japanese teams would struggle against the weaker Australian teams. I dare say the standard of such a comp would be closer to club rugby than super 15. I think in the short term super 15 squads should be expanded so that each francise is able to field 2...
