That they are, they have been a number of attacking players play under Dean's tutalidge and unfortunately they play a different game - I'm impressed with what Cheik has acheived in year 1

And Scotty no combinations, how manly tests have Genia, JOC (James O'Connor), started together, how many tests (or games) have JOC (James O'Connor) and Horne started together, Cummins again no combination, and Ione feeds off QC (Quade Cooper) how does he go off JOC (James O'Connor). However forwards are as expected

I dont have that Red Koala next to my name, and QC (Quade Cooper) would be my first, seconf and third choice 5/8th - with Lilo at 12 because he's been the form centre the whole season. For 13 I'd like to see JOC (James O'Connor) because he has vision, speed, defence, and has plenty of variation with his distribution - but AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)...

Cosmo I haven't seen last nights game yet so can't comment. The last 2 years worries me with Barnes.

Very well put. The 25 players put forward suggest a very similar game to the past 2 years, and that unfortunately is giving me nothing to look forward to. On paper I'm concerned about lack of combinations, combinations enable players to play with confidence, instinct, and awareness of players...

Attack, Gee some experienced combinations there, I'm sure they will all know what each other are doing. Looks like we will have a 9, 10', 12, 13, 15 (foloau) combo who have never played test football together in their respective positions. YeeHaa - can't wait to see how Dingo pulls this off...

Looking forward to the club report to hear more about the day. We struggled out west last year as well - our defence over recent weeks was comming together, our communication and lines in D were improving - strong for the majority of the games with some lapses. Letting Penrith score 29 points...

Nah Lily - had my daughters b'day so no rugby. I saw the suggested line up on Friday, we struggled out west last year as well - our defence over recent weeks had been communicating and improving - strong for the majority of the games. Letting Penrith score 29 points??? we'd need to keep the...

Very interesting season to date; Uni is now playing their ussual rugby, after a tough start to the season going down to the Rats, and a couple of others. 2Blues beating some teams that were tipped to perform in 2013 then copping a hiding through the grades from the Beasties. The Beaties loosing...

Qwerty, yeah? I hope not that wouldnt be right. Manly no doubt still consider him a Manly and Rebels Player, if so I think that classification would be going against what it was designed to do.

Coach, worked a treat on the weekend with the derby in front of a crowd of about 5000+.

Yes it is rather congested in at the top of the CC, we'll need to turn up with out boots this year. Last year we got a bit of a fright. We still need to face the likes of Uni, Nth, Sths, all of which will be big games across grades and colts.

Partly true, they changed the game plan given their opposition, it was attractive rugby and also involved ball retention. They built phases going forward, I'd love to see the 7+ phase stats for the wobs over the last 18 months, where the phases were played and went, and meters gained.

For a large part I agree, but our game plan, or lack of has not been on the money. Apart from the trophy - The Reds playing positive rugby beating an All Black laden Canterbury side a couple of years back shows a well thought out positive game plan can prevail. Looking at that game plan and...

In summary, our game plan sucked for the RWC and Last year - to me that rests more with the coach than the players. The players mentioned have played different structured games and different coaches.

Scotty, the thoughts / suggestions are along the lines of "Deans probably will" - people wondering what the team would look like - speculation based on Dean's past performance. Right you are with those 4 points - we could have a very solid side if the Super standings are anything to go by. IS...

i was looking forward to the Lions series, these team suggestions and talk of Dean's game plan (or lack of) have me thinking do I want to bother

Lily, really liked what I saw as well, he's definitely got the skill set but physically I don't know. BJ, and Marshall shared the role well but against the likes of Uni, Woodies, Nths, and Sths but they are outside backs. Chesters has been strong in 2s, and Brisby was strong against Easts until...

Fantastic asset. 4 grade, and 3 colts. Look what Parra has achieved over 3 years, congrats. I don't think they did it with much assistance from the ARU, or the NSWRU. They did the important things well, why can't Penrith do the same?
