RH, is a Deans-related thread like a candle to a moth for you? Whatever the reason, good to see you posting.

Charles. Meh. He's fine, but would be a downgrade. I was really keen on Hansen. I guess that Saia must be going, Ant too, otherwise why would he stay?

I'm not complaining about his performance. If that's what you get out of your third choice hooker, it's pretty good. But it's not good enough to be the regular starter and preferably not a backup when the starter is TPN (ie often injured).

There's nothing like actual detail and accurate description. Still, I'm sure it was all Izzy's fault anyway.

Someone at the Tahs should be on the phone ASAP. So much better than Charles.

Has he actually signed? A quick Google suggests there's interest but nothing about signatures.

Surely some dollars in Japan before he pursues the robotics or whatever. I could certainly understand him wanting to step away after all the head knocks he's had and the good uses he puts his brain to off the pitch. If he does go, the Tahs need to find a good hooker. Ulugia has dropped his...

I'd hate to see Digby leave, but could understand him having a desire to earn a few bucks. Shame for the Reds and the Wallabies though.

So that's until late May? Should be a definite for the squad and then be assessed from there.

Do you think Saia will leave? I'd imagine there was a game-time carrot for young Hanson.

As you know, I'm a massive Mitchell fan. He's my favourite current player and he's incredible busting tackles. It's those errors that you mention that are murderous. Much as I like him, I'd want to see those gone before he plays against the Lions. The signs are bloody good though and I'd see...

A few caps off the bench is probable. Nic White, for instance. I'll take any mistakes from his inexperience over whatever crap Phipps is still serving up after all of his.

Conrad Smith is getting older but you can't tell. Bloody hell is he still good. Does the man ever make a mistake?

I agree that he's playing a lot better with ball in hand but his errors have been very poor. If he cuts out the dropped high balls and other cheap, I'd be keen to see him start, perhaps with JOC (James O'Connor) at 15.

Ash, the last brothers to play for the Wallabies were the Faingaas.

I don't think FB is a good position for him but the Rebels need him to play 10, 12 or 15. I think his best position internationally to date is wing. He's a tough defender for his size and a roving commission suits his game. At 15 he can insert himself early but I think that's less than ideal...

No4918, I'm a massive Mitchell fan and even I wouldn't have him starting. Too many errors and JOC (James O'Connor) is too good.

Mate, much quicker to walk from the Junction for the Chiefs, I reckon. Take a couple for the road, have a cheeky slash in Centennial, get to the game nice and early. Ripper.

I'm leaving home at 5pm to make the game. And I live in Bondi.

It wouldn't be the first time Deans made a nonsensical selection.
