Shit! I need an interlock device on this computer! Must not touch after a long lunch, must not touch after a long lunch,must not...

Keep up big arse, the post immediately before yours names a handful of recent schoolboy rockstars the Wicks poached. It excludes a handful more. Is it ten Oz schoolboys since 2014? I don't know how you can possibly infer this is ancient history. Not saying it's right or it's wrong,just saying...

Hmm, what was the expectation two years ago? They are a good chance of running 4th in club champs this year. There is depth in grade,with plenty of talent also coming through colts. Must have been some pretty ambitious KPI's!

Really? It's him or Cron for coach of the year IMO,with daylight a clear third.

Their problem is there is no one putting pressure on 1's players to perform. Their only first grade standard 2rowers have been injured long term,as has the 9.without him,they don't have 1st grade standard at 9,10,12 in the entire club. At the start of last year,they had strong 1st grade props in...

Haha,not saying we will be there at the end. Just that I've ripped up my cash backing the Marlins for this year, as they are hapless.

But they have proved over and over this season, that they can't play 80. They won't be getting Lucas,Palu,Hodge,Neville etc etc to hide their deficiencies this year. They showed zero starch v the Rats. it was a must win game in terms of the ladder, a big local derby a few weeks before the...

If we are being critical of positioning,where was the 15? He is consistently in the wrong postcode in these situations.

What games have you been watching Dave? Even if the Marlins fluke a semi spot, they are canon fodder. They are literally20-30 points weaker than last year. It's possible that all 4 grades will miss the finals,when was the last time that occurred? Hard to believe any senior coaches will have a...

For some reason you haven't contemplated that Woods,Rats & Marlins(with a bonus point) all might win. Leaving Wicks high & dry :)

I think your maths is right,but Manly would need a 20 minute head start to beat Norths next week :)

I'm surprised non contested scrums aren't semi regular events in 4's. It's not unusual to be scratching for numbers this time of year. I'm also surprised to hear they were able to turn numbers into a try. It's something that many in higher grades struggle to do.

I'd love any franchise in oz to sign Hayne. He is an exceptional athlete. But more importantly,the Leaguies would all soil their undies,they wolud be apoplectic!

It was a good point that E&E made. If there are substantial penalties for non contested scrums. Some coaches might be tempted not to call non contested,& risk the well being of unsuitable/untrained players to avoid these sanctions.

^^^^^i agree with most of TWAS points,except the bit about the Schoolboy League reps. They are tainted fruit when they arrive to rugby. They have been in league systems for 2 or 3 years post School,and have been passed over. Signing a 17 yo full of promise is totally different to signing a 21-22...

I couldn't disagree more about the 3rd test. Midway through the 2nd half,i was sure we were going to win. We just ran out of legs. Cheika's success or failure will be judged on facts not vibes, long after we have forgotten about how this series was played. And 0-3 is a fact.

No change to the ladder as it stands now. Wicks Uni Norths Souths Rats Marlins Marlins & Souths to bow out in week 1 of finals.

Foley & Horne will be well suited,because the Tahs are picking Izzy at 13? By that logic,picking Latu to start at 2 is confirmation that the 2row is well balanced.

They threw the 2's & 3's under the bus with that policy. And then didn't have the courage to empty the bench until it was too late. Not that it matters,they are a shadow of the squad that Blake left them. big changes required in the off season. I wish I could cash out my bet that they would...

that would have been just about the highlight of the day for you wouldn't it? Marlins just making up the numbers now. Very disappointing.
