I'm pretty sure only Deans and James saw James's best position started with 1 and ended with a 0.

You're quite right about him being dropped. But he didn't kick up a stink about losing the captaincy to Ben, he has publicly stated he supported the move and supported Ben as the leader of the Wallabies. So you'll have to excuse my bewilderment at what is making you think he has to be captain.

Man I really think your conjuring an ego about Horwill that I can't see I've seen. He's stood aside as Wallaby captain previously and I could have sworn in the past year or two when returning from injury he's played second fiddle to Genia as Captain. The guy really doesn't strike me as caring...

Perhaps everyone forgot how having little experience panned out in 2010....... Removing Horwill and Genia would be a huge mistake and would set us back years especially considering how many younger players we still have coming through. They're not playing terrible rugby, just they're not...

For a cool couple of grand a month I'll happily babysit JOC (James O'Connor) if necessary. Hell the pubs will be closing here nice and early so there's only so much mischief he can get up to. All we need is the facial recognition software to be up and running and tell all the clubs what a trouble maker he is.

What makes you think the Reds are desperate to sign him? If he wants to play in the WC we're his only option, we know that, he knows that. So I'd imagine the desperation is solely on his side.

I'm just stoking the fire, but people in the past have called for Palmer to be put into the Wallabies for his ability in the scrums, forgoing his work around the park. I'd dare say there are more lineouts than scrums in a single game, so extending the Palmer logic, are we really that dissatisfied?

In the grand scheme of things, spending that kind of money on getting another open side flanker is largely redundant. Sure Hodgson or Pocock would be great, but they're not really needed as we have both Gill and Beau who have largely been doing a solid job. The huge money the two examples you...

The game plan was working in the first half, the kicks were good, found touch and bounced out. However, this went to shit in the second half by mindless kicks by Cooper and Harris. The game plan of not playing in your half sounds good, especially considering the Reds penalty record (and because...

Farrk me, I really tested my mothers love by putting her through that second half footy. Poor soul doesn't deserve to watch 15 boys be slaughtered. Absolutely gutted at that loss, it was truly a disgusting performance by that Reds outfit! Could someone tell me what happened with the first...

I haven't been tracking the Force as closely as most have been. So, with McCalman's name once again being thrown around in the mix for the Wallabies, what's so different about him this time round compared to the previous years? In the past he's always been sound at a Super level, but his...

Say this was a factor for James to move teams, why the hell would he pick a team that is notorious for not playing for one another. If you had said the Brumbies, then yeah I could have believed you, but Tahland issue the Mecca your "sauce" has made it out to be. Perhaps they've hit the bottle...

So where was the protocol for Ben McCalman? Charged with the same offence, but only the four week starting point was used and THEN the discounted time applied.

So the judicial officer wanted 6 weeks for that tackle? Farrrk me, we may as well start playing OzTag.

It's not so much that the Reds aren't winning, but it's the fact that we don't even turn up in a state to compete. Constantly we give teams huge head starts or get pasted like we did tonight. As I was rightly corrected in the Reds vs Blues match thread, Dick is the defensive coach. So that's...

Bugger Dicks head, who the hell is our defensive coach? Absolutely atrocious all year and this is from a team that used to pride itself on defence.

Pretty much sums it up

I'm still confused how the coaching staff believe Saia is playing better Rugby than Chibba nad how Quirk or Schatz should retain their spot over Curtis? Hell Browning didn't even make the 23 but has had a huge impact when he's come off the bench.

Didn't Albert have his kid a week or two ago? Knowing how important family is for some of those Islanders, I can imagine he's taken some time off to spend with mum and bub.

From memory, RG brought most if not all of his backroom coaches with him over the last 12 months. Wouldn't sacking them be similar to getting rid of RG ie very Tahaseque!
