I am always amazed by different refs interpretations, I rate Gardner as a ref, but he gives Latu such a hard time. Latu does his shit each week, leads in turnovers and then is penalised off the park both times Garsdner has reffed him this year

I expect a quite ugly game, the Rebels are good at getting turnovers and the Tahs are shit at not giving turnovers. I expect the Tahs to spend far too much time clearing their 22 for most of the game

I would prefer less "impact" and more getting the hard stuff done personally. Lots of getting off their arse from the whole tight five and strong second efforts at setting those pillars and moving interlopers from the area

The challenge as I see it is McMahon would come on for Timani, but who replaces on of the locks? I know this is heresy around here, but I see Skelton getting the gig over the two young QLD units, Carter and Arnold the younger although I would pick Carter

Early last season we tried to run a backrower wide right and left - somewhat like the kiwis. If we try that again then Hooper & Higgers would be the obvious options with a rock shifter playing that central cleanout role with the two locks. Under that scenario Timani would fit the bill for the...

Wouldn't have to be only ponies supporters, Kuridrani actually does that stuff called "defending", something that is rather important at test level in the 13 channel.

scrubs hates dislikes sees little value in Hooper

Every player in Aus can get more $$$ overseas, each player essentially has to decide what value they have in the Wobs jersey and whether they think it is worth the drop in potencial income

More a philosophical position I think, why should government departments be sponsoring any professional sporting teams? I would prefer to see no government sponsorship of professional sporting teams. I don't think it is what we have governments departments for, if they can afford to sponsor...

Excellent news, I look forward to seeing there again on Sunday doing his thing

The Tele podcast this week suggested that the ARU will find it easier to pay the Rebels owner to go away (buy back the licence) than get rid of the force. They suggested the silence from the owner over the last few weeks may be down to ongoing negotiations to get a satisfactory number. I...

The Guardian on Beale's work for Wasps https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/may/11/kurtley-beale-wasps-wonder-returns-australia

It comes down to how much value the person is, be a high performer and you can get away with murder in business or sport Matthew Johns was well known to not turn up to training if the surf was up, AFL clubs regularly covering up recreational drug use, many a trader has been known to do many a...

I think it is about a 2% chance that we could find enough money to sign him as a 32yro and about 1% chance he would be interested to change codes without a massive truckload of money

both I reckon

Some interesting stuff, especially on the transition to Super and the extra skills required

Neither are demonstrating it or winning collisions

Genia is listed as playing a baa baas match at Twickenham on 28 May http://www.planetrugby.com/news/baa-baas-add-pienaar-piutau-and-more/

The are also all the "same" Holaway, Hanigan, Wells, Mumm, McDuling all kind of play the same. Skelton and Hooper are the only ball runners, the rest do that run and flop short, recycle thing

Yeah, it ain't just Gibson, the pigs aren't exactly turning up either. We seemed to have not got the balance right in work ethic\style\pig recruitment as well, Blades needs to look in the mirror as well
