I agree it is a bit of a juggling act but it is no point developing a game plan based around having a dominant scrum and set piece unless you have the players to execute it. The game plan has to suit the players available. There are infinite game plan combinations there are not infinite suitable...

What I want to see is selecting a team based on form and performance. Then building a game plan based on these players and the reletive strengths and weaknesses of the opposition.

Dump them both. I would like to support them but you just can't. I know O'Connor has been told he won't be at the Rebels next year but I hope they say the same thing to Beale. They are both more trouble than they are worth.

I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to Japan. He would be the big fish in the samll pond and would be paid an absolute fortune over there. Huge money and constant massaging of his ego, sounds right up his alley.

3 Mowen - Absolute rock 2 JOC (James O'Connor) - Only player that looked like threatening on occasion. 1 Moore - Just kept working as always.

Well where is he going to go then? He can't go back to Perth after the somewhat acrimonious departure. The ARU will not want both he and KB (Kurtley Beale) at the Tahs plus with the salary cap there is no way they can fit both and keep Izzy. I can't imagine they will be happy with him at the Reds with QC (Quade Cooper)...

I disagree the perfect tag is an act of great skill. Sure anybody can stamp on someone, but to ruck an errant fly-half so that it leaves perfectly symmetical welts down his back is an act of beauty, almost a work of art.

I know it was a long time ago but in my day there was two types of wingers. One type had a bit of pace even though they had a bit of a mincing running style. They would giggle their way around the field and pat each other on the bum. The other was the completely uncoordinated kid who couldn't...

Come on everybody, one of the most glorious sights in a game was when an innocent young winger, probably an insurance salesman by trade, would decide he was man enough to go where the big men play. He would run inside, his perfectly coiffed hair billowing in the breeze as he danced around the...

And all that is fine up to the point where you sign a letter of intent. A verbal negotiation is one thing but a signed commitment is another entirely. If I was looking for a new job I would wait until I got a written offer from my new employer before resigning from my old post as I am sure you...

Beale is going because of a questionable character and it looks like the Rebels have dodged a bullet with Foley. Any man that signs a letter of intent and then goes back on it because his current employer offers more money as reported is not a person to trust. I am an employer and have had this...

Haven't we already signed a hooker from the UK? Or was that just in my imagination.

Given Digby is a certainty on the wing you need the other winger and the Full Back to have reasonable boots on them. Going in with Folau and Mogg means you have only one person who can be trusted to kick us out of danger in the back three. I would be playing 11 Digby, 14 JOC (James O'Connor) and 15 Mogg with...

Until this incident happened why would they have been working with Beale over his drinking. There has been no suggestion that he has been turning up to training drunk all the time or other on duty indescretions. Yes there have been incidents out of season but they are not the rebels problems to...

I think the decision was correct. When you look at Halai did I think the intent was fairly clear. He deliberately batted the ball into touch as can be seen by the fact that from where he attacked the ball he gave himself no chance to ground the ball legally. He made the decision to dive for the...

JOC (James O'Connor)'s haircut is Shocka of the week. It looked like he was trying to pick up SBS.

I think the Force will need SNK for his kicking as that was their biggest weakness last night.

Well that's it. Shave him from head to toe, shove him on the wing and rename him Martha.

He is a forward, of course he can grow a beard in two days. A truely testosterone laden forward can grow a full beard within half an hour just by concentrating hard.

Mckibbon doing his best Brian Blessed impersonation. That's one for the oldies around here.
