These days with reporters having laptops and spell check, I think they've sacked all the sub-editors to save money and allowed reporters' stories to go straight to print.

If the on-field results were good and the coach had been sacked there would have been an even bigger issue.

The Frogs also. Exhibit A: the 10 who made such a balls-up against us and whose name I temporarily forget. I blame it on a mis-spent youth.

Not bloody likely! We've had Valentine once already. McKibbin and Kingi will do me fine.

That is one seriously professional human being. He could have done a Charlie Sheen on those who undermined him but instead maintained his dignity and integrity. Hard to avoid the feeling that maybe the wrong bloke got chopped.

I think the reason Robinson had more runs than tackles is that the Reds had more of the ball in the last 20 mins. That's my feeling from watching the game, I haven't got the stats to back it up, but overall the Reds had more ball anyway. That's how come the Reds players scored so many Fantasy...

Sad to see this. I don't think his game will work as well in the ponderous NH environment as it does in the SH. The 10 will be sitting back in the box getting ready to kick a field goal, not running onto a flat pass from a Burgo snipe. Very impressed with McKibbin so far, hope he gets a...

Hangers is a great replacement. If he gets injured Kurtley comes to 10, Turner to 15 and Pakalani to 14 and all is right with the world. Expected to see Ben start this week but given the front row interchange laws he can come on at the first sign of trouble with Franks and Kepu can go back...

Better to have one 7 in the run on and one on the bench than no 7 in the run on at all. McDuling sounds like he will make the bench soon, but I would guess not this week. But one more limp display from Simmons and Humphries and you can put the house on it. You would think that Shatz and...

So the Crusaders will have watched the Tahs/Reds match with interest. What are they likely to do to respond? A number of things come to my mind: 1. Box kick. The Reds did it badly last week with chasers going missing and not challenging for the ball in the air. But the Crusaders are...

Somebody who is always right, even when he's wrong got us Mubarack, Gaddafi, Hitler, Bush, Pol Pot and the wierdness that is Iran. Sometimes you have to make a stand.

Gold!

I thought with 11/13 I'd be the runaway leader. Sadly not.

Given that we are playing against the Franks brothers I would swap Fat Cat for Kepu, despite Kepu's great form so far. Kepu can come on at 20 to go and create havoc, he's better than Ben in the open, though not by much.

I like the idea of giving four points for a bye. Without that you are always trying to do complex calculations of how many byes each team has had to determine where they really stand.

Watch the game again, taped if possible, as Fox will edit out the injuries for their replay. I know she's a treasure, but she spent the best part of 20 minutes working on him at every stoppage.

The real Reddy is back!!! However you have obviously not seen Saturday's match yet. Suggest you get out the tape now!

WJ, You may not have seen the tape yet but at one stage, after TPN had gone down with a bad shoulder for the third time, Lawrence (that's right Dumbo Bryce) said to Sharon Flahive that TPN had to be substituted (his words I think "he has to go off"). As team medical person, Flahive shouldn't...

Sorry, should have said international airport. Flights in puddle jumpers are nearly as bad as ferries and worse than coaches because you are so cramped for room.
