I wouldn't go that far. One linebreak and yes a shocking pass. That fucking lineout from the Wallabies. The long throw = perfect attacking platform for the backline. The result? Went to ground for a three man maul, fell over and lost the ball. What the fuck was that for?

Good attacking play from the whole backline. Foley / Quade combo looking good tonight (edit: "tonight" haha. Thus far I mean). Reece Hodge showed good toe and intent.

Good intent Foley. Quade you've really gotta be able to shift the other teams 9 off the ball when needed (especially when its Faf de "Hobbit" Clerk).

What a smug closing line. If only we all had your Solomon-esque wisdom. Yes we've lost 6 games in a row, but people are suggesting that the Pooper are not the cause of these losses. Rather, the stats show that without the Pooper, we could have lost by even more. Its not ideal and if Holloway...

Carn Higgers Carn Higgers Carn Higgers Carn Higgers. I don't even know the state of his Japanese contract but I'd love to see him back in Aus.

Reminds you how much talent / experience is leaving the team this season. Wycliff, TPN, Beale, Dennis, Tilse, Fatcat all absolutely legends of the club. Carrarro has had a great stint in the last few years as well. Absolute fucking tear jerker aswell. A sad Fatcat makes me a sad Micheal.

I'd go with: 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. Speight 12. Kerevi 13. Kuridrani 14. Folau 15. Foley Gives us three kickers in the backline (Cooper, Foley, Folau - in order of capability), good defenders in Speight / Kuridrani, strike runners in Kerevi / Kuridrani / Folau / Speight and ball-players in...

Haha - just a Sydney based rugby fan with one eye on the Shute Shield (not a huge fan but friends play for an assortment of clubs). I think most of the promising young lock talent in Sydney is quite young, and an experienced head to fill the short-term gap is a good idea. In the meantime, we...

How petty. Admittedly, I have a pretty frail knowledge of the SS, but I know for sure that these players came through the system: - Ryan - Latu - Skelton - Dempsey - Hooper - Holloway - Phipps - Foley - Kellaway - Roach - Robertson - Hanigan - Lucas - Horwitz - Sandell - Wilkin - Wells -...

Remember the scrum analysis in the RWC that made headlines all over the world? Yeah, I'm tempted to do a similar analysis on refereeing mistakes in All Blacks / Wallabies games for the last 6-12 months or so. Theres enough footage to put together a 10 part documentary series of 10 minute...

I always thought Higgers could've been a world beater. Huge, athletic frame with inbuilt aggression. Its a shame we didn't develop him properly.

Initial and (not so) brief impressions from the game: Sio's lost a bit of effectiveness around the park and isn't exactly setting the world on fire at scrumtime; wouldn't mind seeing Slipper into the starting team as I view him as a more dynamic player in general play. He's also an older head...

I think people placing entire blame on the game's failure at the grass roots level is quite harsh - they provide funding (and levy fees, of course) but otherwise have very little control over what actually happens. This is then compounded by the fact that there are several clearly anti-ARU...

IS is everything ok? I don't think I've seen you post anything with a positive tone, or remnance of a positive message in it, since I joined this forum 4ish years ago. You're going to give yourself an aneurysm. You remind me of the bloke that sits to my right when I go to watch the Tahs...

It literally blows me away. I don't understand the basis of it at all. Especially when you see comments in these threads and the front page saying something like "Put Quade at 10, atleast you won't have to hide your flyhalf in defence". Unless I'm watching different games to you lot, Foley...

The one Shute Shield game I saw all year was the Grand Final and Simone was fantastic. Not necessarily linebreaking at will, but constantly dangerous and has some deft skills. Also more of a strike running centre, which NSW seems to be lacking atm. The fantastic wraps on him lead me to believe...

Matchday Squad for next season: 1. Ryan 2. Latu 3. Kepu 4. Skelton 5. Mumm 6. Dempsey 7. Hooper 8. Holloway 9. Phipps 10. Foley 11. Horne 12. Godwin (maybe?) 13. Folau 14. Clarke / Naiyaravoro / Jones / Clunies-Ross 15. Kellaway 16. Robertson 17. Roach 18. Ta'avao 19. Hanigan 20. Wells 21...

Godwin's playing in the NRC for NSW Country Eagles - perhaps an indication he'll be coming to the Tahs next season? We've also picked up Cam Clarke in the backs. A few 7s players are signing to Super franchies now - is this them leaving the sport after the Olympics cycle or is it ARU...

Tangental and not entirely irrelevant but I am so sick of people using that quote. That is NOT even close to the definition of insanity and people are essentially using an argument from authority logical fallacy in thinking it must be true / insightful because Albert Einstein "said" it. Well...
