I think Friend joined the squad just before the Sydney tournament,which coincided with QC (Quade Cooper)'s first appearance in the squad. At the time Friend was quoted that the squad needed to embrace the challenge of competing with the highly rated 15's players playing for squad positions. But it looks like...

Congrats to Will Miller in streeting the field to win the Catchpole. Also to Simone & Davidson. All 3 deserving winners.

Hang on big Arse, On Saturday Wicks were red lining in 1's with player points, and had 5 spare in 2's (using only 2 replacements) Wicks weren't sending out weakened 1's & 2's to stack their 3's. The Uni kid in question had pretty much secured a spot in 1st Grade before being badly concussed 5...

Maybe being bitched physically by a former lower grader from you club hurts more,and explains the petulant behaviour? The judiciary would do Uni a favour giving him a week off, Uni won't drop him,but he will get man shamed if Norths give Simone plenty of ball this week.

Yeah, but a young 28:)

Speaks volumes about Tahs recruiting. When the pros are comprehensively outplayed by the amateurs,some adjustments are required. But I wouldn't put money on it happening.

If your point is that it's fucking outrageous that a stack of pros come in, and replace the guys that played all year and got them there. Then we are in furious agreement. You don't see the irony in Uni being on the other side in this scenario?

And who has made the points system a complete farce for the past ten years? I hope Dowsett & Wells can drag 4 or 5 of their brumby mates up to play next week, and totally towel up the students. The irony would be delicious:)

Norths have had a good colts program for 5 or 6 years. It's been building, and by no means on overnight success. They were very confident of taking it out a few years ago,but depth got them. In grade, I could see them improving throughout the season. They recruited well, with some of the new...

My recollection was that Friends use of QC (Quade Cooper) was puzzling, he got very little game time against the minnows in the pools. It was more like he was trying to prove QC (Quade Cooper) was not the answer,rather than helping QC (Quade Cooper) to adjust to the nuances of the game, and to find his feet.

My bad, I assumed you meant off the bench for 1's not 2's. No doubt, they say he was selected in 2's last week and was injured, so, a hypothetical 3 out of 5 in 2's. Which is not unreasonable.

So, if he's started in 2's in one game, & played 1's in the other 3,how could he possibly qualify to play 2's???????

I can't fathom how Friend rates Killingworth below Malouf,Foley & McCutcheon. He should be in the squad,not with the travelling reserves.

^^^^^^you obviously didn't hear the strong rumours at the time, that Friend allowed the squad to vote on whether QC (Quade Cooper) played in Sydney? When he got no game time in Sydney,he was long odds to be an Olympian.

I thought it was anyone that has not started more than twice in previous years. Apparently, the rule must be anyone without a high profile?

Let's just get a bunker and refer everything,that will solve everything won't it? Or we could just insist that those who make a living out of the game don't shit on it with petulant complaints. Let's all take a lesson of the GOAT who conceded a 50/50 penalty to the Tahs on full time that cost...

Fuck that, rather than rewarding dominant mauls,they should eliminate them. They are a blight on the game.

If that list is accurate, then Grech must be a mistake. He is neither a 7 or a 10 :) Miller Rookie to Simone or Wileman, who have both been outstanding. Cron over Coleman.

Miller or King for me

No tries were scored when Roods was off.his binning had zero impact on the game. They scored one later when a man short. off a scrum when Kuki had to pack down at flanker, but if you look watch the replay you will see how poorly it was defended.4 Souths guys could have scored untouched. Deegan...
