Not the worst idea but Roachie will probably get the remaining Tahs EPS spot—and he has expressed a burning desire to play for the Tahs. If he doesn't though he could change his mind: he is certainly trained up. Another hooker trained up at the Tahs is Ryan Dalziel, though I can't remember...

Edited No - he's not saying though the individuals might know already. Or, knowing Cheika, he may be keeping the tension in there. They will save the announcement for a press conference—it's the thing to do these days. .

Well, I suppose he is young compared to me. This kerfuffle about the back line will probably be decided in unexpected circumstances. There is nothing like an injury or two to put paid to nice opinions. Or, it could be an unexpected drop in form—and Cheika has been known to drop Wallabies to...

Foketi is a very classy centre who has the skills to go all the way. As ever with such a promising back of his age that I haven't seen in Grade rugby yet: it's how he can bring those attributes to the senior level, and then to the Super level, that will define his rugby career. .

Castres v Perpignan Round 14 In the 11th minute 9. Durand of Perpignan pushes 4. Samson of Castres away. Castres 2. Rallier pulls Durand away gently from his teammate and Durand falls to the ground feigning a face injury. Referee Pascal Gauzere is suspicious and after looking at the...

I went to all the Rays games in Sydney and Gosford, driving from Collaroy, including the final which they won—plus the games of any team at NSO and one Rams'game at Parramatta Stadium against the ACT team. Watched all the TV games and the streaming stuff with no commentary, but from the...

My understanding is they want it to lead into the Rugby HQ show. .

Well, this is something to do whilst watching the cricket: Shute Shield Players in Europe Saracens v Leicester - Round 10 Sydney-siders may have recognised a name on the reserves bench for Leicester last weekend: centre Terrence Hepetema, who had played for Randwick in the Shute Shield...

Your'e right Zander: I had jotted down some other comment about that game but didn't use it, but had typed the name of the match out first and forgot to change it. I don't have my jottings now so it must have been Munster v Gloucester from October. • Talking of Munster: their tribute to...

Quade is back in second - I want an inquiry. 25/12/13 - 8.45pm .

Some of this trivia I jotted down but I misplaced it—and it is now found: • Southern Districts (The Rebels) v. Manly (The Marlins) – Round 9 Shute Shield. In one scrum the Southerns' pack engaged early. Steve Robilliard: "Southerns went early – they were Rebels without a pause." •...

There is a "Third Tier is back" thread in the club forum. http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/3rd-tier-is-back-in-2014.13673/page-47 It's already up to 47 pages as I write this. Maybe this thread should decommissioned - and/or the other one transferred to this forum. With...

Have just looked at the G&G rankings for this game and somehow Izzy is ahead with 922 thumbs up and Quade with 987 is second as I write this. But LG - you have to minus the thumbs down. OK - that should get me 876 for Izzy and 934 for Quade. Quade wuz robbed, I tell ya—robbed. Something...

It's hard to judge players, or coaches for that matter, before the season starts although the trials will be revealing. I've probably seen more Tahs' training for the 2014 season than anybody else not connected with the team and, for the purposes of comparison, it was probably the same for...

JWH was a damn fine rugby union player as a youngster. I remember writing about him in 2007 when he played for the Rays team in the ARC. He played no. 8 and shared the position. We were fairly certain that he was going to league even then and when he did go a few folks said that we weren't...

Ha, Ha - no doubt he will be infected by the Tah virus if your family stays here long enough. Meantime - may bubs live to learn and learn to live, and to stay onside - well, most of the time. All the best to you and your family with the new recruit. .

"Jiffy Jr" - love it. .

10 brownie points intruder - the Hair Bear had his dreadlocks cut off during the week and I hardly recognised him today. Before the haircut: .

No - Hoiles has the skinniest legs of any forward I know.

Cliffy Palu is doing a bit more work in skills exercises before the Xmas break: Some of the Under 20 players joined the Tahs session today and had a ball. For 10 brownie points who is the player on the left of this photo? (Not Under 20) .
