^^^^^I think you have your Lolesio blinkers on BR but yes, next week will be interesting for the 10s.

Apologies, I stand corrected, he wasn't one of the U20s players from last year. He was in the NSW Country NRC team though last year, at the age of 19. SO he must have caught someone's eye that's for sure.

That he was in the U20s team last year? In seriousness though, I'm sure he has some, maybe he's just not ready for this level yet. He obviously trained well enough to be selected, looked a bit like he was struggling with the tempo of the game.

We play the Brumbies this week, or were you just commenting that the Rebels are a team we can beat generally? They actually mentioned in the commentary the amount of kicking options we have in the backline and it was clearly part of our strategy. Wamberal had a whinge about it but I just...

Force have been supercharged and it’s great to see. Still reckon they’ll fold circa 60 mins. I’m biased though.

Has Nick got 60 caps? I’d be happy with that TBH.

All of that possibly still puts him ahead of the other options. Will see shortly, I’ll happily retract if he’s no good. It still won’t fix the issue.

yeeah. I'm hoping someone got it wrong though..at least one of the other four franchises.

Yes I'd agree that Tate is the standout of the available options. But there is still a big gap between him and White. I'm hoping Prior is a lesser gap.

It does. But it also reads like McLennan is going to get the shit together. Of course, the big query is what caveats Twiggy is going to put on things, and if they're actually workable within the bigger picture.

^^^^^go and have a look at the RA thread

I think there’s plenty of time, most of them have nowhere to play. We wouldn’t be looking to buy Pieter Steph du Toit et al, probably players from within the second 30 ranked, plus some ex-Boks/Pumas. I’d say the first box to tick is locking in how to pay for them, that means a comp, some idea...

The player I’m most interested in watching tonight is Ian Prior. Personally I don’t think any of the halfbacks from the other 4 franchises are worthy of gold. We’re looking for Whites understudy, and possible successor. Longer term it’s a bigger dilemma than 10 for me.

Your read on To'omua is a bit different to the rest of Australia’s rugby community. Don’t mind the rest of the post though.

Some of us have been telling you this for years. Wessells seems to have at least stopped him kicking it straight down the throat of the opposition attack though. However, I’ll pull you up on asking for him to be fired. Just play him at 12, he’s brilliant there.

Serious question - how do the set top boxes that monitor the viewers work if someone is switching back and forth between channels? Or one game ends and then they switch over to another after it finishes, which is half way through? Asking for a friend!

Totally understand, but on the flip it’s hard to train in the wet if it’s not wet.

After what seems like 20 years I’m finally adding CFS to my squad. He’s been great post Covid.

Only it hasn’t been wet. March and April were wet, May and June were reminiscent of last year. Up here at least that is.

I just switched back and forth a few times out of curiosity. The loig was shit too. The thing that made the broadcasts better, dare I say it, was the fake crowd noise. Just made it seemed like a better atmosphere. It was still shit though.
