Nigel likes to talk a lot, that's for sure.

@Train Without a Station I hope that what I said above didn't make you think I feel that Higgers is greedy. Couldn't be further from the truth. I grew up with NFL/MLB/NBA after all, players leaving for $$$ is nothing new to me and brings up absolutely no emotions in regards to the player...

I don't think there's much of a reason he wouldn't have followed a similar developmental pathway if he stayed at the Reds. All he's really changed is that he plays tighter to the ruck, has better body position at the ruck and is being given the leadership role he hinted at wanting while at the...

We are lacking the combination of size/explosiveness that makes players like Higgers such an asset. We've got big guys, and explosive guys..just no big, explosive guys (at least at the moment it would seem). Rugby, between set pieces, is a series of explosive collisions that we just aren't...

Italians may be without Parisse and Zanni which really takes a lot out of their game and definitely knocks them down a peg or two as a unit. I wouldn't mind seeing a few forwards rotated to the bench or rested if this is the case.

Eh, with the exception of the Brumbies game I don't think Quade really takes any larger proportion of difficult kicks than any other kicker in Super Rugby. I may still have the aggregated kick stats from last season in my inbox, I'll go digging for that in a minute. Those 50m shots had me seething. It...

Horwill has been doing a good chunk of the defensive jumping in the 2 pod so far. They mix Horwill/Schatz at the front and seem to like putting Horwill up in the 2nd pod.

This is more or less how I got through the entirety of the second half. Felt like I was robbing Peter to pay Paul a bit, but if Paul goes we all do.

I wish I shared your confidence in this department. Quade kicking at his "best" is still a 70-75% kicker and I still get the shits every time he goes up to the tee. The calls for Quade to kick from the distances and angles that he was getting called on by Horwill against the Brumbies needs to...

Okay, so lost a few hours this week so I'm still currently going over footage from Brumbies game but some things have popped out at me looking at our line out.. 1) We need to stop trying to maul in our own 22, or get much better at mauling before we go to South Africa. With the exception of...

I need to rematch the match but honestly if Ant is starting again this week it's going to be because CFS was even more shit than Ant when he came on at 13. Both of them were remarkably disappointing and have me very uneasy about our 13 prospects down the track now. Tapuai clearly not a 13 and...

Pretty accurate description of the guy. He throws (literally) his body into everything without any regard for his own well-being, and at times this ends up being a disregard for some of the positional rules of rugby as well.

Hey guys so I just stumbled across this thread on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/sydney/comments/1yz46e/so_any_of_you_sydney_based_rugbysoccer_players/ Long story short, this guy is going to be visiting his brother in Honduras in two weeks. His brother is working on starting an amateur rugby...

Structure/Pattern analysis will be pretty objective. End of the season review expect my opinion based on the stats/footage.

Not sure if any of you remember this: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/analyzing-the-waratahs-2013-attacking-structures/ Interest in me doing this for the Reds? Will need a few more games to be played to have a better sampling of things and I'll cover both sides of the ball. Somewhat related...

More like he didn't roll the dice hard enough because that's basically what you're doing with your head when you tackle that way.

The way the Reds defend the rucks leave them vulnerable on the blind side at times. The Brumbies coaching staff definitely noticed this and it was part of their game plan to overload the short side, put it quickly through hands and then benefit from the fact that it's almost a guaranteed 1-2 man...

Harris has a high floor but strictly speak in terms of the 12 jersey, Taps has a far higher ceiling there than any of our other centers.

Don't worry it's only a few months until we're all under the same roof of getting beaten by the ABs again.
