Regarding AFL coverage, us Sydney people get a taste of how obsessive it is when they beam the Melbourne Fox Sports News edition. The first 10 to 15 minutes of the show is often reporting how a squad member (who rarely plays) in a bottom ranked AFL team has stubbed his left pinkie toe and may...

He won't get much chance from now on either, as the Force will probably prefer to use Sidey and Cummins at 13, seeing as Inman is off to the Rebs next year. That's understandable I think, as Inman is still returning from injury anyway.

It can't be worse than the that classic Sharks Reds stinker from 2005. Keep that in mind if you were wondering if you should stay up to watch it. Worst comes to worst tue game will put you into a deep sleep anyway. This is the game I think the Tahs should really be targeting to get their SA...

Morahan needs to get more involved for me. He doesn't go looking for the ball enough and sometimes you struggle to see him in games. His finishing has been good, when he gets it in space. Would love to see Morahan actually looking for the ball more. The best we have in that regard are...

18. Colour me impressed. A small part of me (baboom-tish) wishes I was a playboy sportsman in Melbourne (especially after the Buddy Franklin "race to 100" rumours). Or the UK - I hear it's not too hard for 37 year old married with 2 children football players to score either... edit: And to...

Vaea should be back, so Salvi will be the 7. No idea who's after that, don't think they have one, so a backrow utility would have to fill in unless they call someone up from club rugby. Vanderglas or someone might be called up I guess.

Not really sure we have much alternative, really. Doubt Horne can make it back to a suitable level in time, and no other option has stood up in any of our five teams. Gotta agree it's the biggest selection hole currently for the Wallabies.

I don't doubt Horne's ability, but I do think he has taken a while to get back to full form after each previous extended layoff. There's very few players who do come back to form quickly, and it depends on the injury. The poor kid has so many major injury concerns already, rushing him into a...

Apart form Ruby members, who had the Bledisloe ticket included in their package.

Rubbish. Horne, like most other players, has taken a while to come back to form after long term injury layoffs. Start of last year, for instance, he was plain awful.

Digressing here, but... I think the Force can cope with Dunning's loss, if he heads to the Brumbies. Sort makes sense for the Brumbies, if they consider Dunning a LH only (which is taking away a lot of his value, I think). The Force are getting in Ma'food, who will probably come close to...

360 points this week was enough to jump me 5 spots to 11 in the G&GR league. Tough week to score high. I've already brought in Moore for Mealamu. Would like to replace Payne or Fruean with a Canes outside back - but I'm scared of Gear, and bloody Jane is injured. Anyone know when Jane will...

OK, here's my team. I benched Al Campbell in the end. Bet I will regret that. JC JvR, Strauss, (Big Mac) Mealamu, (Ged) Franco vdM, Sykes, (Campbell) Pocock, Alberts, Messam, (Lam) Pretorius, (Phipps) Gilbert (c), Gits, Dan Carter, (Piutau) McCabe, Fruean, Payne, (Poki) Chose Beale as my...

Ta for that on Delve. Regarding Campbell's -7, the way I see it is that players will have one to two weeks of outlying poor results every now and again. Otherwise, Campbell has been very consistent and has had a good return for his price. But after looking at the rest of the Rebels pack -...

Contemplating Pat McCabe for SBW. My only other picks would be a punt on Lachie Turner or Sivi giving the 'Saders a touch up out wide (but he has a bye next week), or an even bigger punt on Rok (but again he has a bye next week). In the backrow, I am thinking of Delve or Luke Briad for...

The stories went that Eddie Jones have no player management skills. He simply couldn't, or wouldn't, communicate with them, resulting in a disastrous atmosphere. Combine that with a load of injuries, little to no squad depth (despite a competitive 1st XV if there were no injuries) and...

Ouch, with SBW out. Guess that's why he only lasted 41 mins last week. Lucky that I kept a replacement up my sleeve, but I was actually saving it for Fruean, not SBW. So two subs for me: Whitely and SBW to go out, and no clue who to bring in. Masaga may also be ruled out - he's currently...

The Reds signing of the Brumbies S&C coach with Link was a huge boon forthe Reds and a big loss for the Brumbies.

The harbour sure is nice, just be careful which fish you eat from it!

Cross spent the 2010 Super 14 season at inside centre, with Inman at outside centre.
