    Blues vs Rebels, North Harbour Stadium - 2011R10

    Last week the Tahs murdered any chance of winning by picking Hangers at 12. I reckon Hux was a worse defender than Hangers before his injury. Since Vuna turned out not to be so good, the Rebels have had real problems at 12, they seem to have no one good except Morty and he should be playing...

    G&GR Fantasy Super Rugby 2011

    Probably four weeks too late on FdP, though I don't know what other changes you had to make. I had him for too long too. Unless you think the Rebels will go better than the Tahs, which I personally doubt, then ditch the Rebels players and buy Blues, particularly backs. That's my tuppence worth.

    Willie Mason could sign for Toulon

    Gavin Henson chucked out, Matt Henjak stays and Willie Mason joins. That team is going to have a serious drinking and other misbehaviour problem.

    2011 Wallaby And Australia A Teams

    From my end its almost impossible to write a reply to any post you make because its not really what you think, its just stirring the pot.

    2011 Wallaby And Australia A Teams

    There are a number of serious problems with your team: Despite having a 5:2 bench you have no replacement if Pocock is injured but two replacement 6's. This is seriously unbalanced. Samo is playing well but he's still a marginal selection for the Reds. You reckon he and Higgers are better...

    Waratahs 2012

    Saw a newspaper article about a month ago saying he was off to Japan. He's mid-20's now so should be in his prime and I was disappointed as I thought he was starting to really come good. Lee mentioned about a week ago that it was to support his family (obviously not on a great contract this...

    2011 Wallaby And Australia A Teams

    Bruce did not say he would make the Wallabies. He said Carter was substantially better than Ant Fainga'a, a point with which I agree. I expect neither will make the wallabies this year, there are too many better and more favoured players in front of them.

    Force V Bulls - 2011R10

    The Bulls defence has holes everywhere. I could have run through the gap Matfield left for Cooper for the first try. Question is, can the Force actually run through those gaps (JOC (James O'Connor) aside)? If so, they are in with a half-chance if the pack plays well.

    Rugby - not set pieces

    Not this year. They are too far back to finish 1 or 2, they've already played the Saders and miss the Stormers this year, so no ten point turn-arounds. They had to win last week to be a chance and basically win every week from there. It all really went to custard against the Cheetahs, we just...

    Blues v NSW Waratahs @ Auckland - 2011R09

    Bruce, Two years ago I thought he was awful. It took me a while to get why he was picked at all but now he is just about the first back picked on my list. Your efforts and this site in particular have broadened my rugby education. He brings a lot more to the table than most people will...

    Waratahs 2012

    So that's Timani, O'Connor and Jowitt out next year. Lee, please tell me Peterson will be ready to step up next year, things are getting desperate. Vickerman a proven but ageing performer, Mumm who has never quite made it and Douglas with second year syndrome.

    G&GR Fantasy Super Rugby 2011

    If you look at the top 20 overall in our league, you'll see that there's 104 points between the top scorer for this round and the bottom point scorer. So, there is still room to move if you can get a run of 450+ scores, but that's no easy task. This is my first shot at fantasy and I made a lot...

    G&GR SuperBru S15 Tipping Comp 2011

    I think you get 2 extra points for a clean sweep (so called GSP's I think). The SA guy I referred to above now coming second got three in three weeks I think. I dips me lid.

    NO Salary Caps in Australia

    You might drop Mitchell again if you live in Robbie's world, but not if you live in the real.

    NO Salary Caps in Australia

    I've deleted your next two paragraphs RH because this first stands on its own. When you run a business of any description, from a corner shop to a corporation, this is the primary focus of the business. Keeping costs under control so you don't go broke. There are three exceptions to this...

    Waratahs 2012

    He's already on one. Its on the Tah site. He's got the same status as Chris Alcock, Greg Peterson, Sitaleki Timani and John Ulugia.

    Blues v NSW Waratahs @ Auckland - 2011R09

    There was not one but several better options than Hangers and Cross for that game: The Holmes to 12 option already mentioned. Hangers to 10, Cross to 12, Kingston to 13, Turner to 14, Beale to 15. Hangers to 10, Cross or Holmes to 12, Turner to 13, Kingston or Anesi to 14 and Beale to 15...

    Reds vs Waratahs, 2011R10

    It would be a shame if Slipper was out. The front row battle is not only going to be epic but will also go a long way towards deciding places in the world cup front row squad.

    G&GR Fantasy Super Rugby 2011

    Four teams out of the top five at G&GR had Pretorius as their halfback. Now if that was the top 5 for this week it would make sense. But its the top five for the comp. And last week Pretorius scored a total of 9 points! Yet the top players didn't drop him or sell him. Come on guys, fess up...

    Reds vs Waratahs, 2011R10

    The Tahs really need to make a few key changes for next week. Six things stood out for me in the Blues game: That Fat Cat, TPN and Kepu have developed into a lethal front row. Baxter now becomes the ideal bench player. Mumm and Douglas have been ineffective this year and we have to make...
