Scoring tries hasn't really been our issue. Our on-field problems has been 80 minute efforts (not just 40), discipline and breakdown accuracy. Good thing with Barnes being the ref is he tends to blow up very little and let teams get away with blue murder at rucktime. Unlike Andrew Brace who...

Neither. I think we have to play them off the park and score points from the off to win this one. Which won't be easy, but is certainly possible and requires a performance which is definitely within us. Their forward pack isn't good and even with Skelton/Tupou out, we should have the wood over...

Fractured fibula after jumping for a high ball is pretty random. I have question marks over the other two (soft tissue injuries and reports of heavy training loads) but something like this is purely uncontrollable.

Apparently he also picked up an injury and has flown home. Personally if we're picking Baabaas players I'd bring Foley. play Carter at 10 and Kells at 15 v Wales w Foley in the bench for goalkicking/game management. Drop Donaldson, drop White, Tate/IFL at 9 w a 6-2 bench/5-3 if you feel you...

Let's be honest its not a massive deal. He was there to play v Portugal, experience a World Cup and develop in training. FWIW I don't have a problem with 1-2 players being in that role. If anything this might be a positive as it opens a door to bring an experienced player in. Knowing Eddie it...

Cheika would be peak though... I sincerely doubt Eddie goes even if we lose v Wales, simply because of the financial implications. Can't imagine it makes us very appealing to potential Private Equity partners if we're constantly chopping and changing coaches with big payoffs either. So if there...

Sorry, don't put much stock into some random saffa's opinion on rugby. Harry Jones seems like a nice guy but have no idea why he is called an "expert" by The Roar. Comes across as another bloke in the press with an axe to grind because Eddie calls them out on the absolute rubbish they make a...

Have avoided much discussion of this game and not keen to revisit it too much. Still think we can/should beat Wales, their form over the last year has been absolute gash and I am unconvinced they have reversed that. But so has ours so :oops: who knows. But from my recollection of the game, it...

Gee whiz you'd hope Frost can get back soon. Would love to see Skelton, Arnold, Frost at 6, Hooper at 7 w Valetini for a pack weight just shy of 1 ton and tall fellas. If we get our maul firing and stay healthy set-piece can take us far.
