A word on some Todds. I would remove Blackadder as too leftfield, but add Louden in the "no change" category.

Just for the record, I like rugbywhisperer's mate's view (above). Good balance of As, Bs, and Cs in the side, plus gives you an idea of what your priorities are in chasing/developing players.

Matt Williams ... Eddie Jones ... But seriously, 1. Who is Meehan? Sorry. 2. Add Brian Melrose to the watch list. 3. Add Bill Millard to the watch list. 4. Nuci might make a coaching comeback.

Re: 2009 Shute Shield If you're an Eastwood fan, just support the Waratahs.

http://www.thesouthafricanshop.com.au/ I can't tell if this is the same shop as the one on Parramatta Road, Concord, Sydney. Might get me some biltong if the Bulls make the final.

Me too: Bulls Hurricanes

Can you explain the no kicking out thing fp? Against Matfield and Botha (and Percy) I can see the sense. But why not kick it out and back yourself in the lineout? I know that I'd rather go up against the Kiwi lineout than giving their back 3 a free shot. I reckon the kick to the corners is the...

Well, I think it's too early to work on a specific game plan vs any particular opponent. But I would hope to see a few things. 1. Kick to corners. With Gits and Barnes, we finally have the halves to do this. But if you do this, the other thing you need ... 2. Killer lineout. Three good lineout...

The Melbourne Rebels were "proof of concept" as far as I'm concerned. I'm 100% behind them. Western Sydney?????????? I live here and wouldn't support them, plus Melbourne has developed its grass roots rugby better than Western Sydney. Gold Coast? Can we call them the Aces, have them play at...

Not sure about Jury. Thomond has handed back the Scarf and resigned as a moderator. I'll quote here what I wrote to him.

Just until Ione comes back, though. I rate him only moderately. I think he's been making too many errors lately, and can't play as a 2nd fullback.

OK, the mob has spoken. An early release will be granted. I'll contact their parole officers tomorrow.

The controversies: Cowan vs Shepherdson Kimlin vs Caldwell Tahu, Cross vs T. Smith Valentine vs A. Dwarf Cooper vs ...

Is this a bit rough on Shepherdson? He seemed to have benefited - like most of the Brumbies pack - from the Friend regime.

Re: My Wallaby 22 Welcome aboard LT ;) It's a pretty good side you've picked but slamming Smith is odd. We might need some video evidence (mins:sec) where Smith is bludging in the centres. We have a bloke on here called naza who can't be pursuaded that Rocky Elsom is any good. Smith didn't...

Re: Matt Williams = assistant to Wallaby coach, Robbie Deans OK - SITUATION NORMAL - RETURN TO YOUR WORKSTATIONS - CODE GREEN Although if I were fatprop I might be worried about a knock on the door from some G&GR members wielding four-by-twos. THIS ARTICLE FROM 2005...

Re: Matt Williams = assistant to Wallaby coach, Robbie Deans WTF fatprop? Here is the Belfast Telegraphs' version: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/rugby/home-rules-heart-for-aussie-williams-14308666.html

Free the Green and Gold Two!! Blue and biffo have been previously warned - twice. I want them to end their feud here and now as I find it tedious. You just get started discussing a topic when 2 people hijack the thread in order to work through some personal issues. Two points: (1) I hate "my...

Re: Matt Williams = assistant to Wallaby coach, Robbie Deans It's not April 1, is it?
