I still see flyhalf as being an issue........... Lolesio - best performing attacking flyhalf before busting his hamstring. But his goal kicking is lousy, and you wouldn't throw in a rookie flyhalf against the AB's, again, like with........... To'omua - possibly better suited to 12, but in my...

That game had everything.......... Too much kicking, great defence from the Reds, terrible refereeing, Koroibete costing his team a try because he forgot how to pass, Petaia taking a dive, the Rebels showing that scoring driving maul tries isn't easy, and two behemoth TH's going at it.........

Mafi also took a dive when given the slightest nudge by a halfback. If that wasn't an indication he was a poor character.........

The NRL SOO is a big event......... in fact it's the biggest event in rugby league, and it's the one time of year where the non-rugby league states pay some attention to the sport......... but still, the figures aren't that great when you break them down - it's not the most viewed program of the...

No, no no no no no no no......... The whole point of a champions league style format is that the top teams advance. If the Tahs and Reds are not good enough then they don't take part.

Look, the idea of a state of the union series when we already have a state based franchise model......... is fucking idiotic to say the least. And just because it's successful in rugby league, where it's the pinnacle of the game - the world cup and Bledisloe rolled into one every year, doesn't...

I would go one step further and add another team from the ACT........... So five teams in total. Hang on.........

I think we should have at least five teams......... NSW, QLD, ACT, VIC, WA......... oh wait.

Yep......... it was partly used as a selection trial for the NSW team.

1. Orr 2. Uelese 3. HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) 4. Philip 5. Hanigan 6. Dempsey 7. Hooper 8. Naisarani 9. Gordon 10. Deegan 11. Koroibete 12. To'omua 13. Magnay 14. Ramm 15. Maddocks

Interesting......... Does this mean Halloran is going back to penning rugby articles?

A lot of talk about the backrow this week......... Naisarani had another standout performance......... Hooper absolutely dominated Wright......... "dominated" being the most appropriate PG term I could use......... Wilson was also completely ineffective, and probably was the worst...

There were a few passages of play by the Brumbies prior to the Koroibete try in the first half where I thought they were about to take control the match, but they just kept shooting themselves in the foot and then I buried my head into a Four Pillars martini......... I’m glad we have the bye...

And could the Rebels have waited a couple of weeks before they brought back Naisarani, or at least played like they did against the Force.........

The Brumbies attack has gone backwards the past couple of weeks, but it seems you’re basing their entire season on the one game against the Reds last week.........

Actually, Samu is a pretty good jumper.......... He’s been the Brumbies main third target the last two seasons, and even got a steal on the weekend. It’s actually Valetini who is not a great jumper and seldom used. So that’s where I will agree that Wright’s jumping ability is a big plus...

Nah, he just performed the role of the team captain.........

With Hooper overseas, I guess that would provide an opportunity for Tom Cusack or Will Miller.........

In the Brumbies case it would be down to jumpers, particularly against the Tahs......... In the Reds case it would be down to Mafi, particularly against the Brumbies........

Just checking.......... It's too late for the Brumbies to sign this Carter Gordon fella?
