How about they bring in a back like Turner, Morahan, Gits or Tapuai to replace Palu then? They only need them for the Russia game, and there's still time. If Pocock goes down early next week, send one of the injured backs home for an openside then.

I agree, it makes no sense not sending (at least) one of McCabe or Horne home and flying in someone for a one-off vs a very weak Russia. Horne makes more sense to send back when you consider his injury, amount of rugby player, and how often he goes down. Let him get a full pre-season in...

I don't know, I guess I was one of the few who was not really impressed by Palu's physicality. I didn't see him make a dominant run or tackle in the time he got - his one highlight was a wonderful pop pass to put Horne into a gap. Hell, Higgenbottham came off the bench v Ireland right after...

Dagg in after a Carter break. This is starting to look like a flogging.

By the way, I found it amusing that McCutcheon playing at 8 outplayed both the 7s (Jenkins and Alcock) at the breakdown on the field. On the other flankers, thought that Perrett from the Woodies had a decent game.

Lots of good performers for Eastwood, particularly their scrum which ripped Uni a new one for the first 60 minutes of the game. The big flyhalf from the Woodies Holah (?) liked the chip kick a little too much, but he led them well around the park. Deserving winners. Turner was solid, but...

Is the current George Smith in George Smith's league, though?

Geez, and the Reds were the top Australian team during most of Eales' tenure. Imagine how bad the other ones must've been then!

Doesn't matter. Even so there will be severe ligament damage. He'll be out for a while...Cyclopath may clarify.

If I remember correctly, Eales was the regular kicker for the Reds for a few seasons, and was the first-choice kicker for the Wallabies in a few games too. RugbyReg could correct me if I'm wrong...

Damnit, when was the Henjak jaw clue coming?

Speaking of Sailor, Hugh Jarse would've been appreciative when Sailor made his return to the NRL for the dragons.

Oh wait, 37 tests. I ignored that one. How wrong am I :(

Radeke Samo?

Blah. Shows how well my memory goes back even that relatively short period of time!

Samo must be on 5 now? 1 10-odd years ago, and 4 so far this year? I assume Valentine only got a couple too?

Yeah, and I reckon we wouldn't have been so dumb as to play him at 13.

Tend to agree with Baabaa, but it was the slickness of the set move that caused Flatley to be sucked in and misread the defence. It was Flatley had too far to slide that he missed the tackle, not so much the fend. I remember seeing that try anyway and thinking "wow!" (Same as when I watched...

Personally, I am gobsmacked that Hoiles got to 16!

Hmmm. Sam Norton-Knight and Julian Huxley and Stephen Hoiles?
