The U20s this year weren't that flash. Half the team are still eligible next year though. Hopefully Nucifora won't be involved with the team next year. Playing Ireland before New Zealand will be good. If we want any chance of beating New Zealand, we will be better off with a tough game to...

We have too many centres. Cummins won't be used at 13.

I bet this is exactly what the ARU wanted. They can't fire Quade- no matter what he says- you'd piss off too many Reds fans and quite a few other Wallabies fans too. Quade leaving of his own volition works well.

Don't like Inman at all. Didn't like him when he was at the Force (but was at least hopeful he might come good) and still don't like him now that he isn't. There are a dozen players I'd have in the centres before Inman. Especially at 13.

We are short on outside backs. So you'd wager a fair bit that it will go there. For a proper winger. No ideas who though. There is an outside chance the Force will pick up another lock- depending on how they see Hugh McMeniman used. There would have to be someone worth having though. I sincerely...

The Force wanted him too. We put in an offer. He knocked it back to hold out for a spot with the Blues. That didn't come up so he signed with the Reds.

Pilbara mob are soft. Come to the Kimberley.

I'm kind of excited about what Steve Meehan could do with the make up of our team. We've never really had a Force style. We have arguably the most mobile pack in the Australian conference (or at least a closely run race with the Reds). We also have a couple of big centres who have a lot of...

I agree with your arguments- but which two? Australian second row stocks are bone dry. I'd love a Will Caldwell type but there aren't many, if any, experienced guys like that out there. I'd like to see a second EPS spot go to a second rower but not two more in the main squad.

I reckon the Rebels are more purple than the Force are. There needs to be a brown or a green super rugby team.

It's a very good point. I've always thought that Mooney's contribution to what the Queensland Reds are now is massively undervalued. He took on a team that was in dire straits and built the foundation that Link used to turn the Reds into a Championship winning team. Conversely, Robbie Deans...

I'm not an alcoholic, I only drink when the ref does something I don't like? I'm not an alcoholic, I only drink when the Wallabies make a stupid kick?

They'd both be great for the EPS.

Funny that. The Force pushed hard to get Fitzpatrick for 2010. We already had Whittaker and ended up with Charles mid-season. Fitzpatrick has gone nowhere while Charles has been great for us and Whittaker also solid. Shame though that some of the best players just can't stay fit.

I like that draw. The Kings in round 2 would have to be an absolute gimme or else we don't deserve to be in this competition. Better to face them early. I like the idea of facing the Rebels early too. Sure they had bad injury luck last season but we lost both games by 1 point and were the...

Why did that need fixing. The Reds scrum is far softer than the Force's and Shark's.

It depends on how its managed and the step between competitions. The Currie Cup isn't that much of a step down from Super Rugby. Northampton have made a very successful return since they were relegated around 2005 2006ish.

Let's just hope he isn't another Dud Roodt.
