I imagine anything less than 3 wins on the weekend would be considered pretty bad by Uni's standards.

Writing him off already?

Are all the Laffan Cup players playing at Melb Uni this year? Was that basically their 1sts?

Fair enough, I know they have a guy with Tonga A but I thought that was there only out. I can't imagine why they'd have a particularly large number of guys out. I like seeing a community club like Footscray succeed, I'm not death riding them. I'm just saying their weekend's results weren't...

Couldn't crack their 2nds? Footscray's 2nds looked like a pick-up team in 2013. I'm not casting blame, just passing on sentiments. I heard Footscray had a Rebel and their 10 who trains with the Rebels near full time, can't have been that bad of an XV.

Footscray might be in for a long season. Today their 3s lost by plenty to Wydnham City, 2s lost by plenty to Melbourne Uni 2nds, and 1s lost by plenty to a Box Hill 1sts. Apparently their numbers are impressive though.

People misuse the world 'dropped'. Foley has 'dropped' a few guys, McGann has 'rotated' a few guys. Good decisions by Foley, regardless of results he can't be faulted for the changes. However,it's a shame to see Holmes take the fall for poor 9/10 performances when I think Alby was more to...

I doubt we'd go into a season with all of those guys. I think you could expect one of the main squad props to go at least and only 1 EPS spot to go to one of the young locals (probably Moli because he's a hooker). I doubt both of those guys would get EPS spots in the one year due to the fact...

If Simmons moves to 6 he'd be able to give away penalties so much quicker, genius. In all seriousness we're seeing a bit of old Simmons this year and whilst he isn't playing THAT badly I certainly wouldn't consider him a player so important that he has to be in the XV even if it's out of position.

Whilst twitter can work, best practise dictates you get the name of his agency through google then call any and every number until you reach someone who is influential enough to make it happen.

Hurt himself and is out for the rest of 2013. Massive shame, people are really impressed with him. He was a good juniour but not one that you'd have earmarked for greatness from the outset like Sa'aga. Hopefully we find sports for both in the EPS next year.

Pocock is one of those genetically gifted people who will always be huge, his brother is a similar shape too. Sure there was weights in his younger days too, but with his intense focus on perfection one could presume he was getting good knowledge and doing the exercises with good form. I...

If he was in Year 11 he was repeating. He did Year 11 in 2012 at Melbourne Grammar.

Footscray V Box Hill. Footscray is rumoured to have terrific numbers down at training and be fielding easily 3 sides.

I thought this would be a thread about Rubys. I was disappointed.

I think you might be confusing the Otago NPC team with the BOP NPC team, which in understandable because of their colour schemes. The Otago NPC 9 is on the bench for the Clan and would probably get a start at most other Super Rugby teams, he's damn good and sets a snappy tempo. He's behind the...

I've worked in this space (though not in any high profile roles) and you're bang on the money. He could come down for 15 minutes, throw the ball around with some of the big names, take some photos, and the next day it'd run in the middle of the sport segment on the news and probably in photo...

I'm happy with that, but where's this coming from?

I'd be stoked to see McGann rotate a bit. Just 1 or 2 in the forwards and 1 or 2 in the backs. This early in the season without injuries you usually have 20 guys fighting for starting spots anyway and fresh legs will be golden in a few weeks time.

Go on.
