Reds maybe got the slightly better of that half, but the Brumbies took the points on offer and are up. Reds execution and the Brumbies scrum have stopped the Reds from maybe being up. Interesting that the Brumbies are very willing to kick, even when they have decent position. This game is...

Alby will still be there next year too, and Mafi may not be.

Well, Lindsay Crook's father has never had issues with promoting his son's virtues.

Agree with that part, I meant more his aerial ability. Some of Folau's work to retrieve the Tahs' kick offs has been fantastic, I would like to see more of it. Or if the Tahs had to kick, then a box kick with Folau as the chaser for example.....I realise that may not fit with the current Tahs...

Anyone else a tiny bit concerned by this? http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/israel-folly-aru-fans-are-right-in-questioning-bigmoney-investment-20130418-2i2yb.html Hope it is just rumour.

You would think so, although the Roosters seem to be a little "loose" with their cap from the outside. Apparently they are only paying SBW $550k, not the $800-900k people think. A player like SBW would be worth $550k to any of the Aus sides, I would have thought. Isn't Folau earning about the...

Yes, I think so with the way it is currently set up.

Initially the stories were that SBW would definitely be there more than one year, more recent stories (on MMM, for example) that I have heard have been more realistic in that they are completely unsure, and that a return to Union is likely. Oh yes. The League cap is big, comparatively...

Folau spotted meeting with the Roosters' recruitment manager yesterday. League pundits still claiming that Folau is "100% chance" to be back in the NRL next year (especially the shows on MMM).

The difference is that Link changes the Reds game plan from week to week based on the team they are playing. The Reds tried to take it to the Chiefs forwards. Very different game plan from what the Tahs are trying to work out. If you try to play fast and loose with the Canes then they will...

480 so far, but that will probably go down a bit. Good score, but I bet it will be a high scoring week. Anyone that had Ged or Moore as captain will have scored very well.

Yeah, they showed Inman getting worked on by a physio briefly after he went off and he looked in pain and not happy. Didn't realise it was his shoulder, however. Rebels needed to turn pressure, possession and territory into points, which they failed. They don't yet have the ability /...

Inman seemed to be limping, in Hill's defence. I thought he was subbed due to injury. Would be furious at Reid, he had two costly brain explosions - throwing the ball to no-one off a break to put the Kings back hot on attack and then a yellow just after. Exactly not the the impact you want...

Lack of transfers. Transferred in Ged a few weeks ago as both of my hookers (Moore and Maku) were benched in the same week. Haven't had the chance to transfer out either Moore or Ged yet.

My bunch of winnersweiners for this week. Slipper, Ferreira (Afeaki) Ged (c) (Moore) Pyle, Luatua (Flip vdM) G. Whitelock, Labuschagne, Coetzee (Quirk) Kingi (Pretorius) Godwin (Anscombe) Crotty, JOC (James O'Connor) (Taps) Savea, Piutau, Dagg (Speight) Was a toss up between Crotty and Taps, Taps got the...

Chiefs have a good set of loosies too, with some depth there. And a pretty damn handy bench. If you have to choose a place to take it to the Chiefs, it would have to be their tight five.

Jordan Smiler, is that you?

Been there, done that in Champagne. Can't remember which champagne one we went on, think it was Veuve. Unfortunately there wasn't much champagne tasted, most of it was tour of the (interesting) cellars. Did it as part of a larger tour which included small champagne making wineries. Bought...

Hope the Force can weave some magic and retain Mafi as well. His name was a notable omission from the list of key Force players in 2014 in that press release.

Unfortunate for Morahan. What's wrong with CFS and Frisby? By the sounds of it, the only recognised backs available to fill Digby;s wing spot and bench are Lucas, Harris, Toua and Davies. A few injury issues this year for the Reds.
