I don't see why. It's not like we're lauding the players. Seems like we're dishing it out to whoever deserves it week by week. May I say that Scott Wisemantel's plans for the backs - in his VERY FIRST run as a backs' coach - sounded ridiculous? And that the NSWRU should have stuck with Link +...

For the Reds, 3 Barnes 2 Houston 1 Horwill Plus I'd give a point to Higginbatty for being excellent in the 3 minutes he played, and subtract about 5 points from Mooney for playing some club players ahead of him. The scoreline flatters QLD, it was men against boys stuff, and the 'Canes could...

He didn't have to kick an up'n'under every time. He could have kicked for distance / touch. He just didn't play like a fullback. But I agree with you. Lote is the worst, who seems to think that the deep ball has nothing to do with him.

After the event? Sounds like you're waiting until his autobiography comes out. For myself, I'll say it: no fucking idea.

Listen biffo, you Kiwi-brained Saffer son of a Pom, we are asking WHY ROBBIE PERSISTED WITH AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) AT 15. Answer it, or say: "I have no idea, despite my focus on analysing Robbie's selections after the event."

Yep, :salute all 'round. Two great, but VERY different players.

I wonder if he'll use the opportunity to catch up with a few mates and share a bun or two.

Tragic for him and the Wobblies. Each major op takes a little bit out of you. Looks like Stirling the Semi-Conscious Warrior lives to fight another campaign.

I'm relying on the Reds beating the Hurricanes ... And when I say "relying", I mean :praying:

That's pretty zen, biffo. I prefer to mouth off about everything beforehand then dress up the results as what I said all along. But the strange AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) selection is a bad example if you want me to follow Robbie blindly without criticizing him.

OK, I'll go there. Which is what, biff?

All Randwick supporters are ... :-X

Kurtley is doing pretty well. But the father of the modern rugby dive is Chris Latham.

Surprised, because I've been visiting the 'gui for 10 years and hadn't noticed the Poly population. Mostly white blokes with big beards and guts. Fishing is thirsty work.

OK, I've PMed a few people and it hasn't worked. Here is the rule: keep provincialism and nationalism to an absolute minimum. There's been a few posts flying about which characterise what "all Aussies," "all Kiwis" or "all Saffers" are like. Anyone with half a brain knows that this is the...

A tipping comp I might actually win! Waratahs and Force.

That's not very helpful. For the record, I side with PB on this but after messaging all of you I'm not going to intervene any more. Whoever is civil can stay.

Speaking of, I was holidaying at Bermagui in the Easter break and saw half a game of rugby. Seemed to be the blue and white hoops vs the black and white hoops. What surprised me was (1) last time I was in the 'gui there was no rugby team, just AFL, and (2) at least half the players were of...

Believe it or not, I'm coming up to the Sunshine State to watch this. Well, more to see my father and brother, but also to take the pulse of QLD rugby in the flesh. I should be able to have a quick couple of XXXX if you guys are going.

WARATAHS Well, the Tahs can forget about the Bulls and Chiefs. Let's assume the Tahs get 4 points out of the Lions. Of the teams immediately above, if 3 lose, we're in. Hurricanes - Reds (A) Crusaders - Blues (A) Brumbies - Chiefs (A) Shorks - Bulls (H) Getting 3 losses there is certainly...
