That's why I prefer Suncorp! Of all teams though, you would think that the clan should be able to play in freezing conditions...even with their fancy new stadium.

Come on RR (or should I call you Adam?), you have to let it go. Even though the video evidence suggests Byrnes did not gouge, and the subsequent findings determined the same, there was contact with the facial area. Practice what you preach. Put yourself in Carter's shoes. Now I am not a fan...

I would bench Thommo mate. Coetzee is a more than able replacement. Good to see someone else is on the Taute train!

Give Maitland a game before you select him I reckon. That will allow Carter to ease back in and the other boys to adjust to their respective positions accordingly. Although now I have said that, Maitland will have a cracker and score 60 points this weekend........

Brumbies vs Sharks 1996 at Manuka Oval is on fox at the moment. Brilliant way to kick off the rugby this weekend! I was at that game. It got me all nostalgic about how school would let the rugby players go down to Manuka oval to watch the Brumbies when they played there on a friday arvo, and...

I haven't had to use the wildcard this week. Phew! My boys this week: Props: Ben May, Sekope Kepu, WP Nel Hookers: Battleship, Willie Wepener Locks: Peter Kimlin, Private Pyle, Jason Eaton Backrow: Ben Mowen, Marcell Coetzee, Keiran Read, Thommo Half: James Stannard, Ian Prior Inside Backs...

Your backrow is really strong, but you won't get any points from Adam Thomson this weekend. Do you transfer Thomson out or not? Tough one. Other than that, that seems a pretty strong side. I suspect the Crusaders/Cheetahs game will see players on both side rack up the points.

I agree with you 100%.

Adam Thomson is not playing this weekend.

That's still a pretty strong team from the clan. Interesting that Treeby slots straight back in to the starting side after being out with injury. The ponies are really going to take it to them in the piggies I think.

Expect Taps to have a blinder in this one. I hope Murphy goes well also. I like the look of the pack. Holmes has been playing the house down, and our loosies are looking really good. I'm not too concerned about rotating Slipper onto the bench, as Link will no doubt give him substantial game...

This week is a nightmare! Rotation, Injuries and suspensions! I am glad I had Ben May as my prop reserve, but I have Injuries and suspensions galore in the backs. After a flying start in the first 3 weeks, mediocrity is catching up with me!

Shit is Thomson out this weekend? As for Jimmy, I have to agree with you there, but his form so far has really not been up to scratch. I like the look of the Brumbies side. Having Fardy and Vaea on the bench means that the Brumbies won't lose any physicality in the later stages of the game...

I couldn't have said it better myself. As for past history, were the previous spear tackles in 2008? Incidents that happened four years ago being taken into account with this ruling is a bit of a stretch. Considering Diggers has maintained a clean record for that period of time. But I...

God I'm having a hard time staying away from the Reds 6-10 margin.. What do you think guys? should I put a lazy ten on 6-10?

How do you relate a game played 2 years ago by two totally different sides to the one played tonight? Personally, and many of the pundits on the boards here, feel the game tonight was quite enthralling. I would love to hear your reasons as to why you thought the game was a 'snore-a-thon'. I...

Performances like that are exactly what will bring back the fans. Exactly what the Brumbies need! A win against the clan would indeed be a good birthday present.

Even though they lost, there is a lot to take from the Brumbies performance tonight. Their general forward play was solid. In fact, I would venture that it is their strength. They secured their own ball well, and pressured the Chiefs at times with accurate counter rucking. They hunted as a...

Advice I should have heeded.

Is it just me or does Fardy remind you guys of Owen Finegan? Leon Power has also been impressive. The Brumbies forwards are hunting in a pack, rather than going one and two out. The period of play about midway through the first half was brilliant. There was a number of guys directly behind the...
