HJ, could the GAGR IT people please arrange for the usual poll to be inserted at the top of this thread?

I'm aware of several changes to the Colts teams that played against Penrith. Even if they were intended to be the accurate lists for the Emus clashes, what is the point of your Club's website publishing lists that represent they are the teams for rd 2 when they're not?

Agreed - the supposed team lists for the rd 2 matches against Randwick on the Gordon website seem more akin to the line ups for the trials against Warringah.

Tough viewing for both supporters. For the Tahs, pleasing 80 minutes efforts from the young'uns, Holloway and Dempsey, both showing good motors and skills. Foley displayed much needed composure on his return, possibly the difference in the wash up, 'cause if he was wearing Red and Gill had...

Well played, Hawko. Predicted to a tee inclusive of the numerous scrum penalties and one penalty try;)

With the Blues having successfully negotiated the Bye (see Dismal Pilllock's thread to read how they just snuck home with their risk adverse strategy), congrats to the NZ conference which saw winners here, there and everywhere.

Re: this post on the Scots 7s thread, whilst other teams will also showcase quality centres, GPS 1s would be well served by a Terry/Pirina pairing. Both are in their third year in View's 1st XV and they've gained experience alongside such quality team mates as Hutchison, Freeman and McGregor...

Ye of little faith, Hawko. Whilst it's difficult to counter your pessimism about the Tahs' prospects at scrum time, we're still looking strong from #8 to #15.

Re: the Skeltonless Tahs line-up, a number of posters called for his demotion to the bench following recent lacklustre displays but few would've predicted that Gibson would wield the big stick and drop him from the squad. I'm assuming that Skelton is uninjured. Given the bench's impact against...

^^^^^^ That makes sense to me and in the aftermath of the clash against the Clan I said in the match thread that the two changes that I'd like to see this week are Holloway and R. Robinson as starters. I'd be happy to see Carraro retained on the bench. I'd also like to see B.Robinson return...

Congrats to the Clan, their win coming off the back of tremendous defensive line speed and clever kicking. Their unsung forwards certainly hunt as a collective force. Some fine performances by the Tahs in a losing effort and agree with Braveheart81 that Hooper, Beale and Phipps were the pick...

Staunch effort from the Aussies, clawing back a 12-0 deficit against the Scottish to do their best work in the 2nd half to claim the QF 24-17. Congrats to the team and to new coach Andy Friend, making our third consecutive Cup semi. Dream match-ups in the Cup semis: Fiji v South Africa and NZ...

Big win for the Aussies in their pool game against Russia: 43-5. The Russians guilty of too many dropped balls and missed tackles, a recipe for disaster in 7s. Sterner tests ahead for the Aussies.

Great effort by the Sunwolves to take a 4 tries to 1 lead into H/T: 28-13. Cheetahs will need to show more commitment in defence otherwise the home team is assured of its first win.

Entertaining half. You'd have to think that the Tahs will be pleased to be on par given that possession was running against them at 78% plus half way through. Larkham will be addressing the ill-advised short kicking with Cubelli being the main culprit. Tahs will be pleased that they've hustled...

^^^^ Wretched misfortune for J. McGregor sustaining a season ending ACL/MCL rupture. Wishing him all the best for a full recovery and that he returns strongly.

Having enjoyed watching Hutchison's rugby exploits since he was 14 it was thrilling to seeing him mixing it so strongly at this level. No mean feat for an almost 19 y.o. Yet it's no surprise because his maturity both on and off the field belies his years. His turn over secured late against the...

The Pumas have made enough breaks to have made this a closer contest with 14 mins to go but they've been guilty of way too many pushed passes that have thwarted their attack.

Even if neither of them wins, fairly incredible that both Hooper and Pocock have been nominated given that it wasn't so long ago that debate raged as to whether they would both be in the starting team.
