This is a silly statement, really. While Simmons was never World lock of the year, he was a good lineout technician, and by all accounts from players in his teams, a pretty good scrummaging lock. And has played professionally for a long time. Players don't play a lot of Tests without talent...

What Reg meant is someone will get rested, with no downgrade for a good judicial record, if they want to dredge this crap up again, for the umpteenth time. Like I suggested a page ago.

We aint exhuming this corpse and flogging the bones to death again. It has been done well and truly.

I think the Tahs will be very competitive, but the real key will be injuries. The ability to absorb some injuries to key players and stay competitive is crucial. On paper, the broader squad looks good. If Coleman has the trajectory moving on from last year it could be fun. The Brumbies, of...

I wasn't suggesting he has, or lacks, impact. I didn't watch the game so have no position on this. I was asking if there are actual stats that can "measure" this. As opposed to opinions. But thanks for yours. Stats are good, but are a pain in the arse to code. But it is an interesting exercise...

Is there a stat (or set of stats) for "impact"? Serious question. Or is it just "the vibe of the thing"?

We'll send a telegram to you guys in Qld to update you, or you can wait for the newsreel in a week or so.

Maybe he just had an off day?

Is this an outlying result for Samu, rather than the norm? I'd be circumspect about labelling him a liability on that game alone. What were his defensive stats like with the Brumbies?

Might best serve Australian rugby, but not him necessarily. If he gets better over the next couple of years here he will command bigger money up north.

I'm surprised this needed explaining, which you have done very well. All the teams above us in the WR (World Rugby) rankings do it much better than us too.

You'd be the first person I've heard say that the Waratahs played 10 man rugby this year. Which was my point. Awesome you have 7 Wallaby friends.

Current injury status might say otherwise.

All well and good, but those were not the "styles" each of the Aus teams mentioned played in Super Rugby this year, really. So, remains a theory of yours.

I thought all this precious bullshit "disrespect" carry-on went when Hansen disappeared?

Surely just that Wilson is more naturally an 8, and Valetini is good in either position.

Dismal be like......

It would be perhaps the first "interesting" thing he's ever written, but that remains unknown as I am not wasting time to read anything that muppet writes,

What's a Bronco?
