There has been some cracking kicks in this game. That was a try saver by AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) on Vuna. But gees Vuna looks like a flyer in space. Rebels can't seem to buy a try or some consistency.

Gits has touches of class but struggles to run a backline. Would love him at 12 but he needs to pop up at ten so he can get his hands on the ball a lot at this level. Been pleasantly impressed with Saffy as a work horse but would like to see more of his all round game. But the Rebel backrow...

Yeah I reported one, bit slow on my iPhone though.

Yeah I made AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) my captain - that is looking like an awful decision. Geez Saffy has made a lot of tackles.

I think it is a bot, I am pretty sure it just reported an earlier post about Gits. It did the same thing in the Reds 2011 and Deans threads.

Looks like a bot in the post above. <edit> because of the sig

Gits is collecting a nice total too. Saffy is also involved quite a bit so he might get a little, hopefully.

The prize goes to the top Aussie every week.

Groucho; probably. It holds about 40 - 45k? I thought there was plans a few years back to expand the SFS up to 55k -odd? Suncorp is probably my favourite ground to watch a rectangular game at, of the places I have been to (including SFS, ANZ, Ballymore, Concord, Parramatta, etc). Supposedly...

The Reds' front row is not large. I think it's more the size of their backrow and locks people (like me) are thinking of when they say big Reds packs. But you may be right that the Tahs are of a similar size: Simmons/Humphries - Mumm/Douglas Horwill - Dennis Higgenbottham - Mowen Quirk - Waugh

Yeah, great stuff Moses. Bit congratulations. Hope another G&GR member can pull off another win as well!

I find it annoying on Thursdays - it coincides with rugby training and I miss the first half an hour, or I have to watch the repeat at 11:30.

Hench; I picked a Stormer, as I thought they might get a few more points vs the Lions. Or, you can choose a Chiefs player, as they MAY get a few v the Clan, depending on the style of game the Clan plays (last year it seemed to change week to week).

Would've liked Horwill back in the row with another smaller, more mobile loosie like Schatz or Robinson starting, but I think this NSW pack is different from the Force pack and it won't create the same problems the Force pack did to the Reds. But as Mowen said on the Rugby Club, the Force...

I much prefer McCardle hosting to Greg Clarke, though. I like the way Fox Sports have gotten their Fox Sports News presenters involved in one particular sport (eg McCardle on rugby, that fairly attractive brunette on soccer, etc).

I think Horwill may be an astute pick too for you guys, as he could earn a few more points at blindside than he would at lock.

Moses; getting to weather reports to determine which outside backs (or tight forwards) may wrack up the points - I love it! Saffy is a bit of a wildcard - never seen him play, first start in a Super game since a long stint in League. I reckon it's a real gamble and I would prefer not doing it...

I'm assuming Salvi will be starting, as I'm keeping him in. I have Pocock on the bench for Saffy - that one is going to cost me big time, I suspect. If I complete my transfers later today, then my team is looking like: Props: Ben Alexander, the Myth; Hooker: TPN, Locks: F. Louw, Steven Sykes...

Can we just all leave the gross generalisations of location behind for a while please? I think the discussion is: 1) the suitability of a professional athlete being on the turps at 4am after a game 2) how bad / not notable is this indiscretion, really?

Deans dropped Mitchell (deservedly too, may I add) this year, and left the spot open for Mitchell to work his way back. Since he got another chance, Mitchell was absolutely fantastic. As Mitchell said on the rugby club, sometimes you need those wake up calls, even if you don't like getting them.
