If Coleman is out injured for a while, Mogg could get a few more games. If Mogg gets 5 or 6 games, does his contract get upgraded automatically and he can then play whenever?

The pedant in me is here to stay! He's an old friend and companion. My reaction was more about the comparison to French rugby, where they have the Top 14, and a second division under it with promotion and relegation. A Sydney person involved in Subbies rugby (like you and me) would be the...

I thought the Reds had a better first half. The Palu try felt a bit against the run of play, thanks to a completely woeful non-clearance from around 4 Reds backs. The Reds backs looked off in the first half compared to last year, but they looked world beaters compared to the Tahs backs, who...

Yeah, they were either 2 or 3 points last year. If offloads are seriously just one point, players like SBW and Cooper are not going to score nearly as well this year. Might have to rethink SBW then :(

The pedant in me can't let this one slip... Third division? It's 4th at least for Sydney, if you include SupeRugby: 1. SupeRugby (pro) 1a. Pacific Rugby Cup / A-team franchise games 2. Premiership (semi-pro) (with multiple grades - 3 + 2 colts is it?) 3. 1st Div Subbies (5 grades + colts...

Hobbs has to be yellow carded for a coat hanger on Crotty...yet somehow he stays on the park.

Where / what is the shoutbox?

Blues have been having a few problems with their lineout and the 'Saders pinch one. Toeava seems a bit too willing to kick instead of running the ball back or passing it on to me. You can't win a game if you drop as much ball as the Blues are doing. 'Saders are already looking fairly like a...

And Ranger drops another. He's going to be on negative fantasy points by the end of this game!

Fruean strolls in for a try after an overlap. Raikuna bought a nice Fruean dummy. Should've bought Fruean for my Fantasy Team over tits for hands Ranger, damnit!

Ranger may be dangerous, but gees he makes a lot of errors.

'Saders doing lots of kicking, particularly from Ellis. Been pretty accurate so far, but the 'Saders don't look dangerous yet. Still look like the usual slow starters.

Another 'Saders penalty takes it to 12 - 6 to the Blues after 14 minutes. Exciting game so far, although the last penalty was very soft by the Blues after the Crusaders were going nowhere.

Blues in again after a Crusaders penalty. Blues look very very dangerous on attack, especially with some room on the counter. Ranger looks particularly dangerous.

It's risk vs reward for me, and the risk of taking Mitchell was acceptable. We had plenty of wingers. The combination of Barnes, Horne and Mitchell were just too much risk in the backs for me. In my book Horne would've been the least critical of those three, so I would've taken someone else...

Last year the locks, props and generally half back (with a few exceptions) were the lowest scorers in the team, and thus were worth scrimping a little on to spend more on the flankers and other backs. With the new changes, props and locks should score a little more, but it remains to be seen...

Carter didn't play half of last season either and Money Bill had no problems. We'll see, I guess.

I agree as well. In fact, of the "recovering" players taken to the world cup (Horne, Palu, TPN, Slipper, Barnes and Mitchell from memory), I would've taken Mitchell, TPN, Barnes and Slipper. Palu and Horne were probably a step too far for me, considering how many others were recovering, but...

He racked up some nice points in some games last year. Was fairly consistent as well. The values change slowly, so they may see a dramatic fall over the season, but it will be slow and steady. Don't expect large fluctuations in price week to week - it doesn't happen. Oh, regarding Money...

Stannard is my smokey, fairly cheap too at $225k and should rack up more points than most scrum halves as he's at five-eighth. He might also be the Force kicker, too - not too sure who else in that backline could kick other than Sheehan. Nick White could be interesting if he's the...
