Ruggo; you mean you can't get the discount?

BTW, Brumbies Cheetahs and Stormers on a bye next week...I could buy Jack (for O'Neill), Gits (for Ioane) and Messam (for Saffy) but gets left with $11k and the need to sub Gits the following week. edit: Slade looks like a good bet too, but against the Rebels at home who knows what could happen?

So...for those with Battleship on a bye and Chiliboy on the bench, are you going to sub or rely on the 50 to 60 minutes Chiliboy will likely get vs the Reds? Ged Robinson nearly as cheap and looks to score slightly more consistently, especially as the Bulls seem to only be resting Botha, and...

Horne was blooded in the Super 14 at wing.

Was on FoxSports as well. Chariots and Phil Waugh may both be ruled out.

Need to bench one of my outside backs: Schmoo, Poki, SBW or Payne. At this stage I am thinking Payne as I think the Tahs will have him wrapped up pretty tightly, but then again it may be Cross marking Payne and Mitchell may struggle to find space. I have my suspicions about the Tahs struggling...

Cummins was at 13. Sidey was on the wing for the Force. I wouldn't have picked Ioane, and would probably have gone Speight also. Would probably pick Burgess as well. Gits should maybe be at 12, that tri-half system is a mess for picking them in positions unfortunately. All of the opensides...

Depends what country you are from when you are referring the 12 as "traditionally being an inside centre". The Kiwis call 12 generally as the "second five eighth" and have a long history of ball playing 12s, it is Australians who call it "inside centre". Although it is easy to look back at...

The SA guys are a lot more tolerant than Aus or NZ guys I think. Don't think Cooper is likely to be cited but he was lucky he didn't face further sanction during the game.

If I were the Rebels management, then Yoda would be my number 1 player to retain for next year (and maybe after that too) - even let Cipriani go if it comes out to a Yoda v Cipriani context. If he were available for the Wallabies, I reckon that Yoda would be easily in the matchday 22 based on...

If I were the Force, I'd try to get Sheperdson for 2 or more seasons. He's experienced, and with Dunning and Longbottom they wouldn't have a dominant scrum, but they shouldn't be destroyed week to week either. Not sure what other good props will be there to poach - you'd think that the...

Revised to 501 - pretty damn happy with that score, and I'm back up to 40 in the GaGR league after an embarrassing fall from grace, having spent a short amount of time in the top 10. Some Lions players, despite a dire team performance, are earning good points - JC JvR was gold - 19 points for a...

Had to google "DTF"...

Lee remember that it is not the size of the dog, but the size of the fight in the dog. Unless the dog is a shitsou taking on Ron Jeremy or Dirk Diggler.

hench; handling during that three week period of three byes per week will also be a discriminator.

Sykes was also a let down. Midway through the game the latest points had him on 15 points. I woke up and he had been revised down to 5 :(

473 points for me this week, pretty damn happy with it although it was a high scoring week. Even my props scored pretty decently. My transfers in mostly worked - Franco van de Merwe is a solid 20+ points from lock week to week, and Alberts had a blinder including finishing off a nice try...

The Force replaced Fairbrother with Longbottom at about 35 minutes and immediately the Tahs wheeled their scrum. I think the Force may have a prop issue next year with the departure of Fairbrother. I'd Dunning goes too they will be praying that PAE is ready next year.

Agree with that trip but outside of that the game from the Stormers was pretty clean - you can't say they weren't punished for the vast majority of their transgressions and outside those few cynical acts they didn't go out to deliberately slow and ruin Reds ball by whatever means.

When I see a replay I will watch carefully but there was a period where the Tahs were going 10 to 15 metres backwards due to wayward passes, several from the ruck. Burgess looked to be one of the culprits. It's a pretty moot point as Burgess was a deserved MotM, but Burgess is good for his...
