Just a matter of interest Adam, why would a training facility need a grandstand, even if only two storeys?

Is there any quarantine situations now existing between Aus and NZ? I thought travel between NZ and NSW was unrestricted towards the end of the RC and is unrestricted to Qld from today.

But the suggestion above that the WF v Hurricanes game would be the Super Round tv game would see the Hurricanes having two tv games while another NZ side would miss out. Might need a bit of work.

Thought Icely was a 6. Sure I've seen him there and played good.

I know I threatened to ignore the many posters here who mistake or misrepresent my views and opinions but to close the whole shebang down is just taking it a little too far, don't you think? :( Dismal. I think an observer role would suit me down to the ground. Nice to see someone appreciates...

Is the Giteau rule still a thing? I know during COVID it was replaced by the 2 overseas players rule but there have been murmurs that this could become permanent.

Thanks SEB for your support but just ignore them. Hopefully they will go away.

I think he needs to get back his (shoulder?) Injury right.

And #notaneight. There's quite a gap between McCaw and Hooper at 7. Not much sense still in having Poey at 6 where he rarely played during the course of a decade. Personally, I'd go with Fards, but I reckon a few NZers would have some names too to throw in.

Adam, straw man arguments galore? Certainly twisting the meaning of my post. Maybe Maddocks has a way to go to be the perfect No 15, but certainly on the evidence of his U20s performances and form at the Tahs, he is superior to Hodge and probably the equal (maybe better) than Banks and an...

And what's wrong with that? That's how I see the team has been going over the years and I am putting forward my ideas of what's needed to turn things around over 2021/22. 2023 will be too late. Of the others I wish to see retained, who would you disagree with? Sio is probably first off the...

Possibly so, and in some cases they might be right and I might be wrong, but I have posted my views and given reasons Can't say every one does that.

No. Maddocks was a standout and all round proficient at fullback for the U20s. His form dropped off at the Rebels and in the Wallabies when selected on the wing. He is a much better player for the Tahs now at fullback though somewhat inconsistent probably because he was dicked around in the...

That's where we fundamentally disagree BH. I think the time they've had in the system is very relevant. I am prepared to be quite patient with those who have only recently been added to the Wallabies squad but I deplore the continued presence of players of many years standing who are...

How about, Tate, Lolesio, Ramm, Simone, Paisami, Wright, Maddocks. Maybe mostly off the bench to start with, but as a target backline to develop with the team culture and skills that FP is wanting.

Not by my logic, BH, but by your interpretation of my logic. I have not said anywhere that Wilson should be dropped. Moved to 6, yes, where he can contribute more in attack. His ball carrying at 8 has been ineffectual. If I was advocating dropping all those who participated in a 33% winning...

The better team? The one that didn't get a single player in the GAGR team of the year? But I do get your point. However, Will looked right out of place in his efforts in a good Aus A team, and incidentally kicked one (IIRC) from I think about 12 attempts at goal. Hopefully they both overtake the...

The world must look terribly dull to you BH. Always the voice of balance and reason. Are you really content to defend the management line at all costs? Where is your little rebellious streak?

That's one view and a legitimate one, but I can't see the Brumbies playing Noah at 12 in front of Simone. Then, there is also a chance of Tom Wright moving closer to the play which could put him in the competition for the 12 jersey too. On top of that, both Keunzle and Pasitoa have people...
