Anyone who thinks Link is not a good coach should be certified. Here the Tahs are, copping heaps from everyone, and he quietly adds to the pressure on them by putting out a piece that doesn't directly attack them but just adds to the overall pressure. I think its called keeping the foot on the...

That's their strongest backrow IMO, despite the fact that Brown has played better this year. Sidey for Inman has to be an injury, though he must have done it in a pothole running backwards and forwards chasing kicks.

This really doesn't look the best option to me. I'm a Tah so not committed, but I think they could do better: Kimlin over Hand or Chisholm is a no-brainer (probably Hand) Jerry should start with Owen coming off the bench. If they're trying to teach Owen to be a LHP for next year it would be...

Alistair Campbell is in the Rebels team playing the Cheetahs. Last week he scored a magnificent minus 7. My advice would be to sell him if you can, if not bench him. Delve is being rested this week so don't pick him in Fantasy or the Rebels in the tipping.

BKH is 23.

Cross was bought to mainly back up Carter. BKH was back-up to Horne but he's been injured all year and only recently started playing Shute. Kingston was third behind Horne and BKH.

If we select the right props for the WC, the writing will be on the wall anyway. Robinson, Kepu, Slipper are certainties and I would take Palmer as the fourth to back up against teams with good scrums like England and France. So Alexander will be trading on his reputation even to make the...

Well the team is out and the key changes are: TPN and Fitzy will be the hookers. Anyone know who will go to hooker if TPN knocks his head and Fitzy gets a knock on the knee? Timani passed a fitness test OK. Alcock and Perrett are the opensides, I hope Alcock has another blinder like his last...

Reading down those stats for the Lions gives no hint as to why they are running last. Apart from turnovers, where they are not the worst anyway, the rest of the stats are reasonable to good. Maybe, as the Brumbies found out, they are not the easy pushovers everyone thinks. However I expect...

I think you must have misunderstood WJ's post. He said "If I had started the thread about any number of Reds players or coaching staff I would be abused for it" He is reacting to the fact that Reds fans on the site have started a thread denigrating the Tah captain and continued the abuse for...

This thread was headed "Phil Hypocrite Waugh". It was started by Scotty, a Reds supporter. Read the first post again. And you're surprised when Tah fans react to the abuse? Your joking, right?

WJ usually makes more sense than it appears at first glance, so let me try to elaborate on what I think he means: The Tahs have copped a bagful of criticism from the game against the Reds, particularly from north of the border. In their jubilation, some supporters have forgotten just how close...

You will excuse us rusted-on Tahs fans having the odd moment of doubt. The Lions played well last weekend (as best you can evaluate against the poor ponies) and the Cheetahs game was a very sobering experience.

Unfortunately Hickey seems very adamant in the press that TPN and Fitzy will be selected.

Some good news. SMH is reporting that Timani may also be back as his hand injury is not as bad as first thought.

That's got to be a gee-up. I 100% agree that TPN & Ulugia should be the hookers this week with Fitzy starting in Shute. If he goes OK there then we can think about changes for the SA trip. But I want at least one hooker in the team who is not coming back from a major injury.

I think the Chiefs especially and the Reds might be cursing the Cheetahs big time. The Crusaders will be hurting badly and a wounded Crusader is not a pretty enemy. That said, in reality this result has done a huge favour to the Reds, Blues, Stormers and Sharks. The outright favourite is now...

What Phil has said is true but he should never have said it. Sometimes truth is better left unsaid (eg. "Do I look fat in this?"). Phil and the Tahs already have their revenge. The Force brought a better team to Sydney (because of the Tah injuries) and went home a loser (again). The Force...

There are some gun guys coming through who might really develop into something. I think Woodhouse, Bennetts, Peterson and Lopeti Timani are possible goodies along with Kingston. BKH has got injured at the worst possible time, so who knows about him. Ryan and Roberts have potential Our...

Perritt seems to be the best choice from what is a pretty small pool of possibilities. Anyone better than him is probably attached to a franchise already. As I said earlier, we've got great depth at 6 and 8 but our depth at 7 is poor and there do not appear to be any genuine fetchers in the...
