On the contrary, Blue. Although it would break your heart, if the Bulls get done then top spot and home final opens up for everyone else down to 5th. The match will be keenly watched though most of us won't be up at 3am, we'll set the recorder and watch it in the morning. There should be three...

And next year he's going to the Brumbies because he felt he was too far down the priority list to get any real game time.

If controversy is going to decide who refs who then the Tahs will never get Kaplan again???

Totally sober. Watched the last 20 minutes to try to see what Ducka did/didn't do. Wasn't very enjoyable, mainly because although there were a lot of players trying very hard, no one was playing to a pattern that looked like causing the other defence any difficulty. The last five minutes saw...

I watched the tape again this avo and I couldn't see what Ducka did to get canned either. I thought the Tahs forwards went better in the last 15 minutes than in the previous 40 minutes (not good I said, better).

Thanks Topo. On Caldwell I need to review the tape. I thought our last 15 minutes (when he was on) was relatively better than the middle 40, especially scrum time. Didn't see what got him canned. I guess McCaffrey and Alcock must be playing badly in Shute and McCutcheon going well? What do...

Lots of discussion on Walsh's performance but I think its time to move on. I've said on other threads I didn't think he had a good game and after all this reflection I still think he didn't go well, mainly as other posters have said, he just talks too much. But Gits and Hoiles reaction is way...

Any decent analysis of this year would have him fired at the end of the season despite what his contract says. I suspect this comment is a wind-up? If Topo is right Alcock should make a great reserve hooker. :lmao: Seriously... can someone with inside knowledge list who of those that are not...

I agree we can't win the comp playing as we are, we probably won't make the four. But we have only lost Palu for the season and we have some fine players left who need to be unleashed. Last year with three rounds to go we changed the way we were playing and won all three games in SA and just...

Agree with the #1 Tah team except for: Mckibbin for 9 with Burgess on the bench. I'd like to see if someone can throw quickly and accurately to 10, the current two can't/won't. Caldwell to start for this match with Mumm to 6 and Mowen to the bench. Only for this game but we need forward grunt...

Mathematically speaking I guess, though I haven't done the numbers. Won't happen, they look good for the four.

My reading was that the scrum went from dire to powerful when he came to LHP. On his saturday night form Kepu will never get another wallaby jersey. After Palmer was on the scrum almost got a pushover try. I want to watch the tape again to see how that happened, but I need to recover from the...

Anyone quoting that cheat and manipulator of referees Sean Fitzpatrick immediately loses credibility with me. I just naturally think that if Sean Fitzpatrick thinks Walsh was poor then he was probably wonderful.

Agree that's what Barnes was trying to do, but a test-quality kicker needs to have a much higher success rate. Some of his kicks were good, especially the attacking ones like the try, but the "field position" kicks were poor over 50% of the time. With Barnes doing all the field kicking, Hangers...

Munro has been the best S14 ref this year by miles. Why he's not favoured by the appointments people mystifies me. I haven't seen the H/H game tonight yet, I have to wait for the replay, but I'll lay odds he was good. Walsh needed to card one player from each front row to make a point. He had...

100% agree.

On that display and last week's I don't think the Brumbies deserve to make the four. Giteau was poor and has to go to 12. Tyrone has to be dropped. Huxley probably the only option left for 10. Rocky is not impacting on the game as a marquee player should. Chisholm should retire immediately. They...

Turner 3 His try was very classy Beale 2 His running and tackling were good Palmer 1 When he came on the Tah scrum improved immensely. Before that, they were being monstered. Honorable mentions to Waugh and Dennis. On the other hand: Barnes is unable to run well, therefore he kicks. This gives...

McCabe 3 Smith13 2 Moore 1 That was not easy. Not too many put their hand up.
