Don't know much about Newsome but Figg and Foley looked awesome in the NRC. I'd love to see them bolster the Forces' squad and get some game time - Figg especially.

Ahh, now we shall step down the well-walked path of whose a bigger liability in defence: Foley or Quade. This gun b gewd.

God I can't wait for the game to start so we actually have something to discuss.

Haha I really want to get the full data set and pump these numbers out. I'm building excel models all day at work might as well apply the skills for something interesting and I've always wanted to apply some quant analysis to rugby but the quality of available data is absolutely shocking. Its...

This assumes that if DHP played well that Timani could give him a total of 6 points, but players cannot award 3, 2 and 1 points to a single player each game can they? Surely the most a player can receive in terms of points per game is 66? (3*22) (assuming one would not give points to...

Is there publicly available info re: all the points? Or just the top 10?

You guys shoulda done a Rebels and signed some up'n'coming NZ 10 who was looking for some exposure. Now theres one less option to choose from. Imagine if Beale used his exit clause to end his contract in London after one year and you snapped him up. I'd probably infiltrate the Brumbies...

Oh no. The Welsh are the holders of the bish-bash-bosh, its all Roberts-Davies-North know. We should aim to negate it via Kuridrani / Hodge or avoid it altogether. I want to see our main strike runners (Folau, DHP, Speight, Foley) going around the Welsh backline, not through them.

I often wonder what would get my non-rusted-on mates to attend Rugby games, and it purely comes down to whether or whether not the game double as a viable social event for those not interested in the sport. Most my good mates are AFL diehards and as I have an SCG membership (signed up 20 years...

We definitely more than have their measure in the pack. Line out will be interesting however with Frodo and Samwise Gamgee messing with the big boys. (Perhaps we should just refer to them both as Sam. "I can't carry it for you Mr. Frodo, but I can carry you!" Something about the Wallabies and...

It was actually just a cheap attempt at a bit of double entendre and not much more. ("He was seeing red" vs. "the Queensland Reds", you know?) But I suppose its quite a sensitive topic and tone etc is hard to convey within text-based communication. I really wouldn't look too far into it haha.

Like the NRC? Hate the NRC? Think Randwick should administer the game on a national (Sydney-only) scale like them good ole' days? Perth Pigs? Western who? Alternatively, think Papworth should be sent to bunk with Ivan Denisovich in Siberia to atone for his crimes? Theres a chance to provide...

TWAS you delightful creature you are entirely correct. I suppose I jumped the gun on that one. I saw the Foley-detractors Super XV emblems and saw red.

Oh God we're in the fucking Foley/Cooper vortex again. How did this happen? Silly question - it always happens. The immovable object vs. the unstoppable force. All I can say is thank God Beales out of the country these days otherwise we'd have ourselves a right old throw-down. Moving on - if...

That is an absolute false-equivalence. Aside from the fact they are both professions in the sense that people rely upon them for a living, being a professional rugby player and working in a traditional blue/white-collar world are miles apart. One is an environment in which twenty-three...

Within the circles I frequent, as composed of international fans (mainly NH) he was regarded as excellent. I'm getting sick of people blaming Foley for tries as well if his kicks don't make touch - it utterly robs the defensive line of any responsibility. Are they mistakes? Yes. Do they...

Oh come off it. He picked Foley over Cooper - marginal call with not much either way. He's picked Mumm over Fardy - marginal call again. He picked Foley over Hodge - marginal call. Remember that at this stage Hodge had played something like 11 games at Super Rugby level at a variety of...

I think all over the park we've got some really solid depth for 2017 and moving forward with options available in the immediate future and some strong prospects coming through: 1/3: Sio, Kepu, Slipper, Robertson, Ala'alatoa, Tupou, ? 2: Moore, TPN, Hansen, Latu, Ready. 4-5: Coleman, Arnold...

That one piece of news entirely changes how I view the Force's prospects this season. A real shame.

Where does Bernard come into this? Last time I checked his name ended with Foley. Whose the third option I don't know about? Whose the phony Foley? What is this folly you speak of? Foley _____ reveal yourself.
