He'd still try to kick it with the prosthetic! A lobotomy would be a better bet.

Operation Sovereign Borders revisited.

Tell him not to get too close to the sideline. Having watched the intensity of the Tahs training session, I'd rather stand in front of a hurtling locomotive than some of the Tahs forwards.

You get some strange quotes on the internet, but this one is close to the strangest. Palu was just a few points away from winning the John Eales medal last year and he only played internationals up till June, after which he was in rehab. So last year he played about half the games and almost...

This match is too important to be an ambush, there's too much up for grabs. Although there's still a lot of games to play, if the Tahs win this then the Brumbies will be a long way behind in the race for top two - and you don't win the comp unless you are top two, as the Brumbies found out last...

I'm driving down from Sydney, wouldn't mind a Tah supporters meet-up if something could be arranged. Have to drive back after the game, so it has to be pre-game.

Perfect rounds? I spent ages analysing the form and got 4 from7. And that was the best success rate I have had this year. :(

Looks like Universal karma is operating at this level. He was due a couple of weeks at least for that headbut.

I reckon its a disaster that's so totally forseeable that it will probably be the first small step in the demise of RG. What is he thinking?

I agree 100%. While the game against the Reds was exhilarating, a match against a well coached forward pack with good attitude and a good gameplan would just about have brought us undone. Did we win two lineouts all match? Those we won, we won by luck, and if we had played a better set-piece...

Amazing. The only player from the Reds last week that enhanced his reputation and deserved a spot in the Australian TOTW and you want to get rid of him. The only reason he was let go from the Tahs was that he had two bad injury years, which meant there was a logjam of talent in front of him...

TWaS: The reason why Genia will never be an all time great halfback is exactly this. Behind a pack going forward he can be magic. Behind a pack going backwards he looks awful and gets a dose of the cranks at everyone else into the bargain. Ken Catchpole on the other hand looked magic...

Looking forward to the next game, it is essential that we fix the lineout. The Brumbies have great jumpers and long kickers in abundance and the ball will end up in the stands so we can't do a quick throw. We've got two weeks to get it right or Gandalf will conjure up a nightmare. The...

Get Morrison on the phone! He knows how to get rid of "illegals" and on the basis of what we've seen Deans 457 visa application had to have been concocted with dodgy qualifications. Get him into detention and on a flight home as soon as possible. :)

Great line, that!

I'd have Harris at 12 for his defensive starch and have him kick for goal. Quade's percentage kicked is not good and Harris is a gun. Harris is totally under-rated for his play at centre, too.

I'm not sure that a lot of the blame can be sheeted his way. The two problems I saw were jumpers slow to get up and throws that seemed to go alternatively long and short. Its fixable with a lot of practice and Dennis has got real spring in his jump, but I don't expect we'll win the lineout...

I was worried when I heard Jackson was getting the gig - in the past he has let anything go at the breakdown. Last night he was very good and my opinion of him rose substantially. But also last night I felt neither team pushed the laws too far and I think this is where he has had problems in...

Chieka is a master coach. Sledging as a tactic is highly over-rated. By refusing to do it the Tahs sent another message. "We're just here to win, that's all we're focused on." I like it.

Lee, I agree with most of what you said but think a couple of points need reinforcing: On the actual performance we should have won by 50. We are still leaving easy points out there on the park. I still think we have to get Crawford back on one wing for his ability to kick long. Neither winger...
