3. Fardy 2. Slipper 1. JOC (James O'Connor)

Positives are Slipper is impressive, Cooper played well, O'Connor solid on the wing, Lilo has a good boot and is solid all around. But other than that, we played badly against an opposition that played well. I think the forward pack needs to be mixed up - Mowen is clearly our lineout general...

Guy is brilliant. Excellent signing, shame for Sidey but great for the Rebels. Both the Rebels and the Force signing well for next year.

He just seems to be a much more effective 6 than 8. Sometimes the number on your back just changes it all.

I thought he had good technique going into that tackle. He often shuts down breaks like that.

Scrubber2050 I just don't feel good about it, but glad to see I'm not talking rubbish :P

Bokkes look good. Sharks front row is always good, two good locks, pretty good back row, great halves pairing, great centres, great wingers. Bench will rip men apart. Wallabies look good too, glad to see the Honey Badger back in it. Kepu deserves the start easily. Hopefully Simmons can lock...

I'm with Slim, consistency is key if we want the newcomers to develop well. Let's see how they do when they aren't being thrashed by the best.

If I was to pick I'd go with White/To'omua. To'omua isn't certain because he's still building into it, Genia isn't certain because he has been of poor form. One is helped by a break, the other is not.

I'm going to go ahead and predict Slipper, Moore, Kepu, Simmons, Horwill, Fardy, Hooper, Mowen, White, Cooper, JOC (James O'Connor), Lilo, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Cummins, Folau FTS, Sio, Alexander, Douglas, Schatz, Genia, To'omua, Mogg Not saying I agree with it, but that's what I expect.

Liking because I rate Owens as a good ref, not because I hate Rolland.

From around the JID, Tim Cree, Sam Windsor, Tom Cusack and Tio Tai wouldn't be bad EPS players.

I'm expecting Ruan Smith to get a full time contract, JP Smith to get EPS, Swanepoel to get full time, van der Walt to keep his EPS, Smiler to get full time contract. Where is Cox off to?

Ryan has been good this year, as a bench player, and that's what we'd call him up for. Sounds good to me.

Swanepoel was good whenever he was on, seem to remember him coming on late into the stormers game and bringing some flare into the backline as well as directing the forwards well.

Boks, like the Argies, don't seem to travel too well in TRC. Suncorp is also a good place for us. I see this as our game to lose.

Loan or Contract?

I only caught the first half, but from what I saw PAE wasn't a standout, so neither good nor bad.

Good old Fox Sports Fantasy - Has Fardy as a backrower for Super Rugby while he plays lock, switches him to lock while he switches to backrow.

Only made this because of the Bulls transfers - Losing all our players? Screw it, let's get all the Kings players.
