There are some we are sure about: Mumm, Elsom, BKH all have European or Japanese contracts, Crawford and Hooper coming from the Brumbies, Lucas from the Reds but maybe EPS? There are some that have been talked about but there's nothing official: Vickerman to retire, Tilse to the Reds, Caldwell...

He's very good around the field, which is why coaches love him, but he cannot scrum to save his life. Sad, because he would be the ideal back-up to Ben (Robinson that is). At 24, he needs to have a long off-season focussing on strength improvement and scrummaging skills if he is to develop...

Many of you were too young to hear Cyril Towers, the hall of famer who commentated on the ABC for many years. IMO he was at least his equal, the finest commentator I was able to listen to regularly. He worked in tandem with Trevor Allan, who could be a bit annoying at times, but was still...

This comment says way more about Marto than it does about Foley. Mind you, he can't go much lower in my estimation anyway.

It looks like Peterson is proving to be a false messiah, so there appears to be a vacancy for a hard working tight head lock to back up Kane Douglas. It would be wonderfully deserved, Ducka is one of my favourite Waratahs.

Ben Seymour is not a rookie?

I'm betting that this week, barrng injury, that Daley gets no more than 15 minutes. The risk is just too great.

Daz, you lucky bastard! I think we all wish we had had the chance too.

It is very clear that some of the contributors to this thread think that the senior players conspired to reduce their training loads so as to tank the Tah season. That's bollocks, but if it helps you to vent your anger issues then who am I to stand in your way. Often in life we make bad...

Positivity please. Trolling can be done on other threads.

We would like Kaplan to ref at newlands every week except the week that we play there!

Yeah. So I suppose were Mark, Glen and Garry. Some people think that you need to be blindingly fast at 12, but I would take Mark Ella and Lloyd Walker as a combination over just about anybody. 11 & 14 are where you need your speed merchants, the inside men are the people who put them into...

Yes, because SBS would show it at a reasonable time and pick up way more viewers than nine currently does. Nine wants the tests and wants to keep their foot in the door to prevent their prime product being attacked. So they give away one hour after midnight one day a week.

Not sure I understand Slim's post. Is he suggesting he is an irrelevant target???:)

So who do the pundits feel are the likely refs for the semi's? From the look of it- gigs in the last two rounds - Kaplan is on the comeback trail (thank goodness the Tahs are out of the finals, they would have allocated him to us for sure). Joubers and Peyper seem to have done well this year...

That's quite an interesting team for a number of reasons: Kepu and Palu will be big losses, their work in the forward battle will be missed. I think that will allow Higgers to play quite loose this week. That being said, Paddy has been sensational in the open when given the chance. Last week he...

Kingi needs to move interstate. He'd probably get a gig at the Force; that at least will get him a few games at 9. With the selectors at the Rebels he will never get picked no matter how badly Phipps plays.

That's a solid option but I think its more down to the years he wasted playing mungo.

The inability of Reds supporters to accept what actually happened is mind boggling. Rewatch the first 20 minutes of the second half. The only thing that saved the Reds was the refusal by Ian Smith (Queenslander) to award a penalty try.

I hate to rain on your parade, but didn't you watch the Brumbies do this last week? They didn't even get a proper warning.
