Genia is out for four weeks, but I think that Fainga'a is the only other casualty who may have made the test squad, but I have been unable to determine how long his shoulder injury will keep him out. Most of the Reds injuries were/are forwards (Weeks, S. Fainga'a, Daley, Horwill, Byrnes, Simmons...

Some amusing differences, you can see the provincialism in selections. Wonder if this means that it's a close race for some positions, or just some of us are more biased than others? Examples: Reds supporter backline: 3 Reds starting, 1 Tah starting Tahs supporter backling: 5 Tahs startings, 0...

Looks like Daley may be available.

Re: Melbourne Rebels recruitment: update what you hear Lee - something is out in your numbers. You have 20 signed and say they need 12 more, not 11 - so that's 32. (You have: 3 props, 1 hooker, 2 second rowers, 4 flankers, 1 inside centre, 1 winger, which equals 12.) </pedantic> I doubt that...

I don't think they were happy about it though, by the sounds of it they bowed to NSWRU pressure. They made noises about making sure this kind of conflict will always go in the way of Sevens in the future.

Silly rain made fourths and colts be cancelled...

Ouch. They are going to have a huge weight advantage on us. Our props are normally good enough to hold their own at this level, and get the better of the weaker teams, but the best few scrums in the lower grade are a class above. I'll probably be packing down in the second row so might be in...

I'll be playing 4th grade on the weekend. Missing a few players in the club so a few have been called up, but we still managed to cobble together a pretty decent team. I'll say what positions are missing after the game! ;) How come you guys are playing at Centennial Park this weekend?

Yeah. Will see if I am starting this week or just am on the bench, but either way I'll be there. Will see how we go, assuming we don't lose any players this week the backline is pretty handy.

Is there / can there be an option to set the number of posts per page? I'm another not like the 10 zillion posts per page. My attention span is so short that it needs the constant clicking of next page to keep me going.

Damn straight it did. Close to post of the year. Anyone want to do one on the correct use of apostrophes?

To clarify - I'm not defending the league converts, just trying to stop a bit of a history rewrite which appears to be happening.

Can you clarify that for me? I would've thought most would've considered them relatively successful, at least on the surface, seeing as both made the Wallabies. And for that matter, Sailor may have played rugby until his retirement if not for his cocaine suspension. And on the topic of Sailor...

If Lee has been watching his beloved Dragons, not too sure if he'd agree that Boyd is only average...

The Reds have Horwill, Humphries, Simmons and Taylor to cover lock next year, assuming Taylor has a contract for next year that is. If Taylor does (have a Reds contract in 2011), then I'd be a little surprised if Samo is offered a 1 year deal. Surely you don't need 5 locks (2 of them on the...

2.47 But they are the ones. Someone needs to carry the bags.

Un-bloody-believable. Another dominant first half blown, another yellow card and loads more injuries. Somehow they keep losing the lead and drag it back. Messy but entertaining game. My nerves are shot. Good thing the season is over for the Reds as their injury toll is probably reaching...

Excellent win to he Tahs. Very relieved right now that an Australian team made the semis.

Was about to say how good the Brumbies have been in the second half recently, but I think that's more a Canes thing. Brumbies will have to be hoping that the Crusaders suffer from their jet lag and hard games in the RSA from here. There's a good change that no Australian could make the finals...

This pissing contest is silly about who was worse, because right now there is none worse than the Lions for a while. Fact is the Lions team are detiorating, and look like they are already worse than even the Reds were in 2007 - 2008. It is getting to the stage where the comparisons will come...
