Ok 0 from 2 not a good start but at least we have 1 away bonus point which is better then nothing what can Deans do different. Ok we all know when Elsom is fit he'll move to blindside that's easy, surely Genia will get a start against the Ab's in sydney. Do we start with Alexander or stick...

Yeah it was a kick-a-thon last night, the Aussies joined in & I don't know why especially in the last 10 minutes when we had to chance our hand but didn't.

I think Barnes signing a one year deal with the tahs may be him saying to the QRU "get your shit togther & I'll be back otherwise I'll stay south" Barnes going for a season may just be the kick in the pans the QRU need.

Your a sucker for punishement but so am I. I'll still watch it again even though only two words come to mind when I think of the wallabies "Bumbling Idiots".

I'd swap them & give Giteau more space as he's more likely to beat a man than Berrick barnes. Naz is right Barnes kicked way to much ball away at then end when we were chasing the game.

3. Benn Robinson 2. George Smith 1.James O'Conner Special mention AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), TPN & Genia

That's no great achievement, he's still poor compared to other small blokes like Gits, Barnes & Burgess.

I unlike most Aussies don't really rate JOC (James O'Connor) that highly ATM he's one of these new breed of young players like Quade, Kurtley, Karmicheal & Benji that are flashy front runners with all the fancy moves but really suck in defence & have a flakey kicking game. He needs to work on his defence...

Hynes being on the bench is a better selection than Waugh on the bench, I have a feeling that Deans will actually use the bench this week as we have every position well covered. I'm hoping to see Genia & Alexander join the battle early in the 2nd half & Deans clear out the whole bench by the...

Mortlock will play but he has to become more involved I hope Deans picks Cross on the bench as I wouldn't mind Mortlock being dragged if he goes missing. I'd prefer Hynes in the back 3 over Mitchell because he so safe under the high ball. Pocock & Mumm on the bench & drop Waugh for Ryan Cross.

Who goes where? Does Brown go to the bench or Palu? Both Brown & Palu will be in the 22 but then who get's dropped from the bench I would expect Pocock to keep his spot & Waugh to be dropped. Mumm will cover the locks so does this mean we will have a 5-2 split all year?

Gagger, You're a freak I love it, good stuff. 1st breakdown was a joke Tialata was way offisde almost as bad as McCheat on the weekend against the boks when he walked up behind the ruck grabbed the ball & dived over to his side.

I've only ever had a beer with Noddy but I'm always up for a beer with another poster before a test match or the Reds game. I agree the Boks handled the negative & illegal play of the All Blacks much better than us, instead of waiting for the ref to ping an offisde AB some big Bok brute would...

I was actually thinking. 15.McLinden 14. Morahan 13.Ioane 12. Turinui 11. Hynes 10.Cooper 9.Genia 8. Taylor 7. Braid 6.Higginbotham 5.Horwill 4.Byrnes 3.Weeks 2.Hanson/Hardman 1.Daley Res: 16.Fainga'a/hanson 17.Holmes 18. Simmons 19. Shaw 20.McKibbon/Kingi 21.Lucas 22.Chambers

Oh well what's done is done we need players like Cooper, Lucas, Turinui to step up & maybe even Will Chambers could be seen as an inside centre. Has Digby definitely put pen to paper? If he hasn't I bet he joins the Tahs as well. If Phil Mooney has any idea on what he needs to do next season...

After watching the Boks last night I now think Genia has to start, we need Burgess on for the last 15-20 when the game becomes a bit scrappy. The boks still love to rush the flyhalf & Giteau needs to have good service if he's constantly receiving the ball at his toes or head we're in for a...

Agreed, fantastic player but is under a lot of pressure from the the fans in SA whom all seem very keen on Morne Steyn to start at flyhalf. Boks really should have won by more, great try from Conrad Smith but otherwise the All Blacks never really troubled the Boks. I think next week will be...

Is that allowed? Once you select your squad of 30 I thought you can then only replace an injured player not drop them from the squad based on form.

Yep Yep If you could go the shoe on offending players hands it's a cert that they will release & then the ref just needs to give about a 7-10 phase advantage & if nothing comes of the advantage give 2 warnings & then nothing but yellow cards for the rest of the game.

From reports I've read on different websites he should be fit to play against the All Blacks in Sydney if not Sydney then definitely Perth. Dan Carter may also be ready to play in Sydney. Which raises another question, Can Carter just come into the squad at anytime or does he have to wait...
