I've bet that they won't. I think our depth is a major concern,and both byes come way too early in the season. It's going to be a long back 1/2 of the season. Whilst many of the reserves/Extended squad are talented,they are raw,and I expect too many will be required to play with each other,too...

I'm pretty sure the Brumbies will be recruiting a specialist 7. Maybe with a season with them will give them some comfort to give him the opportunity. I just thought your original post was overly strong in assessing his prospects for replacing a world class 7. Time will tell:)

I'm certain they will be recruiting another back rower for next year. There are plenty of squad members in each franchise that see little or no game time in the years they are contracted. Peterson in the Tahs is a good example,as is Iona at the Brumbies. You didn't answer the question as to the...

On what basis? What's the highest level of 15's has he has played as an adult?

On what basis are people claiming Robinson is being paid by Wicks this week? $4k per year per player? $60k + more for bench players.. Why don't Wicks Annual Reports reflect these payments? Unnamed Super players being recruited by unnamed clubs,for unspecified amounts? I struggle to feel the...

I'd be picking the best defensive option at 13 this week,their 13 & 15 are arguably NZ's best. So that means Carraro in the absence of Horne.

or maybe the coach isn't going to bake him publicly for missing tackles,and turning over possession. They are the specific things for which he is being criticised .they are generic rugby skills,not specialised 7's skills. He has already demonstrated he has sufficient understanding of the...

Look at Wicks annual report. They probably won't even give him vouchers for his lunch at the canteen :)

Just watched the foxtel ad,where they promote foxtel Go so that you can watch 2 channels at once. Which reminded me that picture in picture is a thing of the past. I used to love that function! What are the hurdles that stop foxtel providing this function? Do current tv's even have this...

Dempsey played on Saturday, But yeah,your point is still valid. Very cynical of them.

He picks Foley & Kingston to start in every game he thinks is important. For either of them not to be picked would be highly contradictory. Pretty sure in the last semi they both played the entire game.

Who would be a coach? Take a mediocre side that no one cares about,improve them to to the level where people are supporting/ paying attention. Then sit back and hear all the things you are doing wrong! First time for over a decade is a significant improvement.

What are the facts? his supporters biggest theme is he doesn't fuck up nearly as much as most people think. By all means keep picking a 10 who doesn't really fuck up that often. But tell me,next time the game is on the line,who wants Jake to have the ball? We know he doesn't want it!

I didn't mean to talk down Uni in any way. I think they are the benchmark. My point was that young kids see that playing with Uni enhances their chances of playing pro footy. The facilities and programs are hardly a consideration.( Most if not all SS clubs are proud of,and talk up their strength...

I heard or read somewhere that it was a sellout crowd of 33k. Which puzzles me as it appears that most of the top tier looked like it was covered to camoflouge the empty seats in the closed section.

You said "opportunity to train and develop among high quality coaching and facilities". My point was players are drawn there, as they see it as an Inside run to a pro contract. High quality coaching & facilities are a happy co incidence for them. big difference. In your previous post you...

Talk to players why they choose Uni. The guys I ask unanimously say it's about opportunity. Remove the perception its a fast track to a pro career,and it would dramatically affect their recruiting success. Any talk of University Comp as a pathway is fantasy. UNSW,UTS,UWS & Macq Uni are hardly...

Canada really put us under the pump when we had the ball. We pretty much went in our shell and played percentage footy,which just doesn't get you enough points. Another game where Kingston demonstrated that despite scoring a try,is just not up to the required standard.

Then it would have been the first target Graham hit for many years :)
