FP I see your point and it crossed my mind also but for things to improve but we need to take a step back to take a couple forward.

Get the franchice players playing in the local club comp and not returning to Brisbane and Sydney comps. Ie Force players play WA Club rugby.

Always the Diplomat Richie. Him and Phil Waugh are the masters at it. Do we watch this space for Paddy O'Brians reaction to this incident?

Ok, so Van played well. Now partner him with Sharpe. Happy for both Ben's to start but Slipper must get more game time. I would be happy for us to achieve parity in the scrum. England are going to come at us with a field position game so lets go after their linout. Sharpe, Van and Rocky...

Cheers Moses.

Fainga'a would of made a good seven.

Getting a bit off topic, I don't know what level you were playing but I can recall times when somebody inexperienced or a young fella came in to prop, the older fellas on both sides would give them little pointers here and there. It was made very clear that the older fella was going to try and...

The Link trick from the Reds this year. Who will be the scond prop though?

Got to get the mixture right. Last year we had two good scrummaging locks behind our front row in Horwill and Chisholm but the lineout suffered. Now we have the reverse. I am very interested to see how Van goes against a highly rated Tigers pack. He is one of few that can perform well in...

Our taller men need to work on their body height when carring the ball up. Sharpe, Chis, Rocky and McCalman have their body height to high in contact and it is effecting power base and they are not getting full value for their efforts. Lower that center of gravity fellas and you will have more...

Slipper needs to start. Which Ben he replaces is the question. Yes he is young but Slipper is our form prop on both sides of the scrum at the moment. Interchange him at half time for the ben he replaces. Robinson looks down on confidence and Alexander is down on fitness. Ease the burdon on...

3/ Genia 2/ Beale 1/ JOC (James O'Connor) Pocock was great again but I don't think the forward did enough to deserve points this week. England will be licking their lips at the way our forwards played.

I think the refs are onto Ben Robinsons technique. They have cottoned on to the hand on the ground. The disruption of losing Moore and the early breaking of the loosies didn't help either. Credit must go to the Welsh scrum also as the were bloody good.

Head to head I remember Ellis getting completely outplayed by Genia in round two. It played a big part in the final score I remember.

Brumbies will play the Reds in Darwin on Febuary 4th. I would expect tickets the same price as above with the NT Government subsidising the game.

Given the way JOC (James O'Connor) plays, all it means is the number on his back. He will pop up all over the field regardless.

You can argue individual players but the common denominator between the Reds and the Crusaders is that they both play brilliant team rugby.

I am sure that one of the first things Robbie Deans said when he started as Wallabies Coach was "nothing lasts forever". Giteau defies this. I am sure all most of the posters here want is to see Giteau held accountable for his form. Bench him for the bloke who has shown form. That bloke is...

Reds Brumbies Tahs Rebels Force I don't agree with your assesmnet of depth of the Reds. The reds have the depth to roll out several different combinations in the tight five and some immensly talented back rowers comming through. Three of our locks are tried and proven that they can play...
