I thought DHP had a top game in the one I saw yesterday. He seems to play 15 with a lot of judgement, being in the right place at the right time, and he's not afraid to run back into contact unlike most Top 14 back threes. Aimless kicking just to avoid the possibility of being tackled seems to...

I agree that the Tahs have a better squad this year. We can only hope that one or two step up like Kane Douglas did last year and if Kane steps up another level then we will be very very strong. This team can win the comp this year, but so can a lot of others. I reckon over the dutch the...

Fatprop, You have some of the most disturbing Avatars imaginable.

IMO this is one of the most important threads on the forum. Thanks Lee for starting it. I agree with everything you've written about the Tahs but since I have the forecasting ability of Peter Fitzsimons that's not a great recommendation. Whoever tries to do the Rebels analysis has Everest to...

We play with the same finals intensity that we have all year, hopefully for two matches only as we have finished 1 or 2, with a week off between round 18 and the preliminary final. Having played with that intensity for the whole season we should have some of that Crusader-like intimidation come...

Given last year's history, I'm guessing that "fans of some teams" probably refers to the Tahs and the Force. The Force because they have a perceived lack of depth after their top 18 or so, the Tahs because of Hickey's concentration on "this week's team" to the exclusion of all else. Last year...

1st caller: Moses 2nd caller: LG 3rd caller: Cyclo if you want someone funny or Reddy if you want a Mexted nutter

First choice at Ulster and supposedly he was not good enough to be the back-up fullback at the Tahs. Instead we choose Sosene "Mr Plod" Anesi. I still can't believe it!

That's one decision that with the benefit of hindsight I absolutely endorse.

Morty must have lost a few kilo's then?

I reckon we are at least one, probably two full seasons away from this happening. Peterson has great promise but he's not yet 20 and not fully physically developed. To my eyes towards the end of Shute playing for Manly he was not as effective at lock he had been earlier in the year. This, I...

I'm not certain but I think the yanks are much less concerned about steroid-induced improvement in their intenal (baseball, american football etc.) sports as distinct from international sports (olympics and the like).

I think there are three possible alternatives for the rotation policy: 1. The Hickey 2009 approach which is to use the best team until they are injured and then either bring in reserves who haven't played for weeks or bring back top players while still injured. This approach is so stupid its...

Not according to Bam Bam's comment today in the award interview.

Please exclude Bruce's contribution from your comments. That was priceless!!!

Mr Dobduff. Clearly you have no sense of history. The Waratahs have been down for long periods, way deeper down than these spurious examples suggest and yet we have always risen from the ashes. There was a long period pre-Super rugby when we couldn't even beat QLD and then the 10 years of...

Bruce is hereby declared by me to be a clear winner in the sledging competition. AACG (whatever that is) is not in the same league.

When the Ellas and Walker first played at Randwick they were supposedly undersized, but they just cut everyone to pieces. Week after week. Thirty years ago or more but I cannot forget it. Big is not always good. When Kurtley got big it was really detrimental. Speed and skill are the primary...

Not sure why we need a separate scrum coach, Foley has done a magnificent job up till now. I'd put him way in front of any of the other province scrum coaches.

French conspiracy theory? Kaplan refereeing the Waratahs, Brumbies and Wallabies is way beyond a conspiracy. You may as well not turn up.
