I know full well Kaplan has a horrid record with Tahs games & naturally as a fan you'd be worried. I just hope people are not assuming by default that because of that record the Tahs were hard done by. That's all I was saying. I was impressed with the Tahs performance I thought they did very...

Fair enough if that's true. I can't remember that point in the game just the tackle. If there are any Tahs fans though that think Kaplan gave the Saders a leg up then they are living in one hell of a deluded universe.

Reid was busted for not coming through the gate despite the fact that he had gone to ground with the tackler then let go of the player & got to his feet to get the ball. That's one penalty the Tahs should not have had. The Tahs scrum went down a few times with them hitting the turf 1st but were...

I know I said they were gone quite a few rounds ago.

I was talking at freshers tonight to some of my irate Reds fans friends (their feelings were understandable). My thoughts were... I don't get the poaching argument. There is no such thing as poaching players. Players are not forced to leave their club with guns held to their heads from a rival...

Proud of Premier one mens this arvo 34-all with the Wanderers/Poons. The womens was a tight affair we went down 9-7 but showed great defence in stopping the Wanderers from getting a try all game. Need to cut down on the penalties though. Oh yeah & Uni had freshers tonight, epic, shit got real...

Hey IS I'm putting a sprinting thread up in 'everything else', I can comment on this there as I'm kinda going a bit away from what this thread originally intended.

Payne was gold, really liked the way he played. Have a feeling the Blues will get the win here.

The alcohol part is a big one. I drink alcohol but I try to stay dry during the in-season. I get how it effects strength but also with the dehydration its a killer.

I do know some sprinters that were very lean when young. However, they all had to work on developing their upper legs as they got older or they got taken over by sprinters that were more powerfully built. Training for big quads won't make them useless it's just that so many people...

This is an interesting area you mention. You need huge quads to be a good sprinter & a decent sized arse (muscle not fat of course). Calves on the other hand, whilst they need to be strong are not meant to be big, a big calf actually has a negative influence on speed. It all comes down to how...

True Bruce. I love weight training & my view of it in regards to rugby is that every type of weight training you do is a piece of the puzzle, without one of the pieces you will gain a weakness. I always maintain one max strength session per week in the in-season because I'm sure without it all...

Beat me to it gel! I watched that game & heard the "Tommy Lee Jones" conversation. Excruciating. Made Kearnsy & Martos' commentary sound like a couple of research academics discussing a thesis.

Tahs can win this only if they play like they have never played before. I have seen no such signs that they are capable of performing in such a way that they could beat the current Saders side. ....or if the Saders play their worst game ever or get complacent - this is also something I can't...

I'm happy to throw down :D . I've already had people confused thinking I know Ma'a Nonu because I call tend to say Ma instead of Mum :)

Me Ma picked all the winners this round in a multi bet. Maybe I'll be getting tips from her from now on!

Was Nanai-Williams listed to play Dan but they pulled him out at the late? If so then you should get Dagg! This has happened to me at least twice so far with late changes.

Just finished watching the replay. Bulls would have been glad Morne found a bit of his form back. They showed some good play at times but they did not seem to respond to the Brumbies stepping up late in the second half. They did get very lucky with the CJ Stander try that was a knock on from...

Damn it Red Baron you did warn me! lol. I didn't have Corey Flynn but he did fantastic with his line-out throws and top scored with 67. Ged Robinson did a good job for me with 41. Having JOC (James O'Connor) as Capt was a disaster but a lot of people have him & my Saders boys Guildford and Dagg saved me along...

I fell asleep at half time, certainly not from lack of excitement! Had played myself earlier and was exhausted. I'm watching the replay now. From the first half I thought the Brumbies were quite amazing, the backline moves that lead to their 1st two tries was so slick and seamless, simply...
