Hopefully not at the expense of signing someone like McInerney, or a leftover from the Force/Rebels. Abel is hardly Super Rugby standard at the best of times, and his no-look intercepted pass was a big factor in the Canes getting dominance in the QF. Personally, I wouldn't sign him in any circumstances.

As I commented some time above, Dan, that there is such a thing as common usage in law. Common Usage I believe would establish that trial matches do not comprise an official match for sanction purposes. But, be that as it may, I agree that Crotty is playing better at 12 than SBW anyway, and...

I seem to remember some references lately also to the fact they have figured in the finals series five years in a row. All of their success has not been in the past, and they consistently outperform the other Aus franchises. Rugby in Canberra would be of interest to a significantly higher...

A good, high quality game especially by Royals in the first half. Thought they were a bit hard done by with the ref in the second half, but managed to stave off a strong fight back by Vikings. I was impressed by Swain (?) at 13 for the Royals, and Muirhead was a menace from the back. Darcy...

Yeah, but they are the three backups to the starting two locks at the Wallabies. At least one will be in the game day 23 and maybe two or all three will remain in the squad in case of injury in the pre-game warm up. Just saying that it it unreasonable to suggest all three will front up in the...

Very telling DP.

Used to watch the SS, but turned off due the arrogant fucktards in charge. Spent Saturday arvo streaming the Royals/Vikings SF in the JID comp. Some very high standard play on show with Royals opening up a commanding lead to just hold on against the Viking's fight back in the second half (aided...

I really like that a lot Scrub. Go the Baa Baas.

Yeah - a lot of double-speak in that statement. Certainly, no indication the Vic Govt would be putting in big dollars to keep the Rebels. If anything, the message is that the ARU must keep the Rebels alive, because of the old chestnuts, "Melbourne is the fastest growing city in Australia", and...

Funny thing, that. Not a rugby man so didn't have the background, apparently, to run a rugby franchise. The ARU is chock full of rugby men and they, apparently, don't have what it takes to run rugby in this country. So, if not a businessman and not a rugby man, then what is needed for the...

TOCC, between this side and the Brisbane City side, you have included all three Qld locks who are part of the Wallabies reduced squad. Is there a problem with that?

B'man, I don't think any national team in the world at the moment plays three full backs in the run on side. Two seems to be the go. So, I think one of the back three would have to drop out in favour of a specialist winger like Speight or Naivalu (when fit). I just don't want to see the...

And probably explains why Hooper is commonly the highest defender in the side.

But Curtis would be a very busy man covering for Foley at 10, Beale at 12 and Kerevi at 13 all at the same time.;):(

Ah, this old strawman returns. GMR, the mess started well before Pocock's deal, and as has been stated many times, he was paid for X number of years playing service over X + 1 calendar years. Give it a rest.

I like the idea of Meakes and Kuridrani in the centres, but I much prefer DHP at full back with a real winger (Speight or Naivalu) on the end of the backline if Folau moves to one of the wing spots.

But that situation didn't involve creating a game that didn't exist within an established competition. And iirc, the Hooper situation occurred after a similar event(s) in NZ set the precedent. Also, it was that loophole that WR (World Rugby) set out to close with their pronouncements earlier this year. The...

It has been so over the last two or three pages HL, or at least that is my interpretation of the comments.

If so, Mr D, that will be the first reason to support the Baa Baas against our national side. I expect there will be plenty more to come as the test series unwinds.

Looks like just another piece of coaching bullshit to me - you know what I mean?
