Personally I had trouble working out if his shoulder slipped up and hit Lealiifano’s head, or his head just rocked back with the impact. That was really the only issue for me - he clearly brings his right arm up and through on the reply and I thought timing was okay. Personally I thought the...

Not sure 3 points is the option there

Although..speaking of the rub of the green, surely if your grabbed by the neck that’s high?

The Reds need to show some discipline here. They might not be getting the rub of the green on some, but a lot of these penalties are just obvious and needless.

I know the Reds finances are tight, but with Cooper, Slipper & Hunts contracts finally running out and Kerevi departing along with Higgers, Timu etc there must be some cash freed up. I think they should be looking primarily at backs. With Speight having been contracted a strong 12 would be the...

I don’t know much about him Bobby. How do you rate him against someone like Wiseman?

I thought Nasirani was bloody good again tonight. Imagine what he’d be like in a team playing well. He must be really regretting leaving the Brumbies.

Where does Pulu sit in the pecking order? Certainly if Petaia comes back from injury I think he’ll get a look in.

To be fair to Cheika - and I am not overly a fan generally - but this is the first year for some time that some genuine backrow options have put their hands up other than McMahon who was similarly vertically challenged and a few guys like Dempsey who were often injured or SLS who were converted...

Well - I was also planning on blaming Cheika & the resource industry. But otherwise I think you coverred it.

The other thing which will be interesting if Pocock gets back on the field is how refs monitor tactics used against him. Good players have been taken out off the ball for a long time now, probably forever. But the extent to which Pocock was cleaned out by the head and neck, and the level to...

As a Queenslander I’m pretty happy to see the form of the likes of McReight, Wilson & Lucas, but a couple of the NSW guys look pretty handy too - in particular Harris & Harrison, but I thought Robertson looked quite tidy today too.

IMO Campbell has been better than Naivalu this year. It’s the last game in a season where Naivalu is leaving and Campbell is staying and where the team can’t make finals. I’m happy to see Campbell retained in the starting line up. Edit: and agree on the comments re Stewart. Would have like to...

I would be interested to see a back row of 6. Samu 7. Hooper 8. Naisirani My fear would be it would be a bit Pooper Mark 2 but for me, whilst Samu is not as good a player as Pocock he is a line out option which makes 4 genuine targets. Overall it is a balanced back row and I think those 3...

By and large, they are.

Whomever the starting side ends up being, the thing I like about the side is the bench, and the fact that Fotuaika, Blythe, Sorovi, Maloula, Hardy all don’t even make the 23 and three backs are bracketed in. All of these guys have shown various levels of potential to push for starting spots...

Do you think we could Thorn to tell him playing for the ABs is overrated?

I know he was bloody sharp in Origin last week

Irish Halfback????

I understand that everybody was supposed to be bound by the same rules and that the Tahs will cop flack if they don’t abide by the same agreement, but personally if they are a chance to play finals then I hope they play their full strength team. Having said that, I hope nothing happens to...
