Watch the replay of last weeks game & tell me why Colby is lucky to hold his spot. 3 times in the first half he should have been awarded penalties when he was first on the ball but for some reason the ref wasn't playing that rule in this game. There was not one penalty to either side for "not...

I honestly don't get the rave reviews Pockock got for that game last week. I watched him pretty closely & while he didn't have a bad game it was hardly MOTM material that some have given him.

Think you'll find Colby starting 7 this week.

Especially tough for them considering how well they played in the first half against the Eagles. Some of their best Rugby in years which, if replicated in the finals, would have taken them all the way. That said, consistency has been their issue all year. That plus a shocking injury toll. Losing...

Colby had minor shoulder surgery last week with a 12 week rehab in front of him. Won't be playing NRC unfortunately:(. Would have been a perfect choice to captain this side.

It's a long shot, very long, but Royals can still make it if they beat The Eagles with a 4 try bonus point & Wests get no points against The Whites. Anybody at Royals suggesting Vikings may have thrown a game to help keep Royals out of the finals have serious delusions about the strength of...

I heard their 1st grade coach quit which would go some way to explaining the forfeit. There was an ad in last weeks programme for head coach for 2015. Who'd be silly enough to take that job? The joint is a basket case & there is no way the ACTRU should throw more good money after bad, especially...

They've re-signed with the Reds

Fair points Hugh & I reckon you are probably right about him wearing it as a badge of honour & a FU to the ACTRU

It occurred in a 3rd grade grand final. Geoff, at the age of 53 I think, was playing his last game & anyone who knows his judiciary record & relationship with officials over a 35 year senior rugby career would not be the slightest bit surprised he decided to give one final spray as he walked off...

Only mentioned that to illustrate his leadership capabilities.

He may or may not be ready to be a leader amongst that pack, he did captain Aus U20's with Hooper in the side, but he is a better player than Fuglistaller full stop & given a regular starting spot will prove it.

Don't worry about the source Kev it's very close to the team;) While I agree Colby is still finding his feet with the Rebels I fail to see how you class his game against the Force as a "shocker". Admittedly he barely touched the ball, which could be excused as "still finding his feet" but he...

McMahon fans might get a shock with him out of the starting line up this week & Fainga'a getting a start against his old team mates. I'd prefer to have them both starting & leave Fuglistaller out as both these guys offer more than him but hopefully McGahan will see the light sooner rather than later.

McGahan needs to take the shackles off these blokes & let em play. Under Hill, I thought the Rebels were one of the best teams in the comp to watch with ball in hand. Some of their attack structures were pretty to watch & there was a willingness to run & chance their arm. I still reckon he was...

Trouble is he hasn't admitted he was wrong at all, this is just an easy "fix". He came out with all sorts of bullshit to justify the six changes last week & even said the six changes could not be blamed for the defeat, then he puts those six blokes back in & comes up with even more bullshit...

My early mail is that they will go back to the starting side they had against the Cheetahs or very close to it.

According to the stats Fox put up Fainga'a was the Rebels top tackler with 17 in the 65 min he was on & I'd be very surprised if he missed more than 1 or 2 max. Ok he didn't set the world on fire as some thought he might but geez the criticism he's copped on here is very harsh. As has been noted...

Can't reveal my source Oz but you'll find it is spot on:cool:

Colby is starting 7 this week so I don't think he's too worried;)
