Yeah unless you watch him specifically you don't notice what he does. Someone has to get in the rucks and mauls. I do agree that he needs to develop a good ball carry. If he can bend the line and get quick ball back it will allow the backs to get on the front foot. He was a great complement to...

I terms of the passion thing I agree to a certain extent to whhat Scoey was saying but I think Cheika is from the same mindset of a recent Tah who had the passion in spades, Phil Waugh. He used to annoy the crap out of me with all his carry on but he won a few Qld v NSW games on the back of his...

I am guessing that they'll kick into the stands to prevent the quick throw and also jam hard in defence so the ball doesn't get to him with much space. It's a bit like the best way to deal with Lomu, hit him as he catches the ball, Ben Tune was probably the master of that. The Reds defence was...

It was Mick Heenan. He seems to have recovered from it ok, having won a few premierships in the last few years with Uni.

I guess it comes down to how you manage the players. If you are upfront with them then it seems to be an easier transition. Also there are plenty of examples of Premier players keeping their spots when rep players return. In 2011 Ben Adams continued to play 7 for the Dragons after Gill returned...

Yeah I think they'll bounce back. Would prefer them to go down fighting though.

Then don't have shots from over 50m out. He's got to take responsibility for the goal kicking and should know his limits. I'd have loved them to kick for the corner and have a go. They seemed so cautious and it doesn't suit them.

From the weekend a few guys will be worried about their spots in the team. Here are my thoughts. Holmes and Slipper weren't great but worth sticking with. Hanson was better than Saia when he came on so I'd swap them this weekend. Both locks were disappointing. Simmons is going backwards, in...

Yeah that was a worry.

It was good to spend 3 days talking about rugby. I think a lot of the stuff around planning sessions and teaching methods are valuable. Also having to keep a diary was useful. I also organised getting together with other guys during the year to make sure we were up to date with what we needed...

From what I hear there weren't many tickets on sale in Brisbane this morning. Sight crashed for me straight away so I knew I was no chance.

Brisbane sold out in less than 2mins. Didn't get any tickets. Oh well I guess I'll watch it on TV

First sign of change at the ARU HPU. The S&C job is up for grabs. http://www.sportspeople.com.au/sp/position/PositionDisplay.asp?ID=22916

I did mine in 2008. I really enjoyed the weekend. It's also a great opportunity to meet a heap of other guys who are around the same level as you at the time. I still catch up with guys I meet on the weekend and talk about rugby.

I'm going to try and grab some tickets today for the Test in Brisbane. I'm hopeful but I am expecting I could be disappointed.

I think Bowside might have meant Enever.

Genia was missed but the forwards just didn't front up. We struggled with the interpretation at the breakdown and didn't offer a huge amount in attack until late in the game when we were chasing. I would have liked a few of those early penalties to be put in the corner and for us to have a go at...

Meehan is going to be a Dragon from what I hear. Is not related to the GPS Meehan's apparently.

Purce and Cat_A do you guys have a figure of the number of players in the UQ Rugby Academy that receive a discount or the service for free? That is the service that UQ Rugby Club has the power over. I have no issue with the Scholarships on offer at UQ as the Uni and Kings College are very...

Yeah I watched him play a lot of schoolboy rugby and never saw him play anywhere but 10.
