Fuck I hoped the kit would be better than that. I'm not buying it. Take away the stars and it's a dodgy looking French strip. Won't someone please bring back proper collars Memberships are too high compared to League and AFL. They need to have a 4 game membership offer as well, like many...

Ben A, Benn R and TPN would handy comparisons for Daley, Kearns and McKenzies / Harry’s, Foley and Blades’s. Genia, Cooper, Ioane, JOC (James O'Connor) are handy comparisons as well. Higgers and either Douglas or Simmons could be as well. Remember there's also comparions to be made of Burke, Eales and...

Giteau isn't a goalkickers arsehole. JOC (James O'Connor) is the most talented kicker in the team.

Re: Melbourne Rebels recruitment: update what you hear I hope your information is wrong Noddy. I can't stand Ricky Stuart and as he's a poor Mungo coach, I can't see what value he will bring to the Rebels. I just can't see Stuart as the type of bloke MacQueen would weant to bring into the...

Re: Melbourne Rebels recruitment: update what you hear The success of Cipriani and Delve will probably have a significant bearing on the number and quality of NH players who consider moving South for 2012. If the Argies can get at least to the QF's of the RWC, then there'll be more impetus to...

3. Cooper 2. Genia 1. Hardman Was flying back from Sydney Sat night and paid for live to air for the first time ever. Only enough to see the first half. I reckon I got great value for money as I had to apologise to neighbouring passengers about my fist-pumping. Fortunately had recorded the game...

Well put Godfrey. Again kudos to Link. Great to see an Aussie tight five playing tight. The Reds cleaning out at the breakdown has been the most kiwi-like I've seen from an Oz team ever. Fainga'a is a stand-out in this regard.

Chambers was an excellent signing. I don't watch mungoball but I'm sure there are other unheralded, younger talents in the Storm roster. Is there anyone playing for the Storm or other mungo clubs that fit the Palu mould? A ball-carrying no 8 with a rugby background?

If these amounts are to be believed then on balance it's a good investment. Pro: Age, Profile in Melbourne, athleticism, fitness, tee-totalling Morman (i.e. unlikely to go off the rails), has achieved a great deal in Mungoball, will be playing alongside Mortlock and other leaders at the Rebels...

Giteau's kicking has improved in the last 2 seasons as an inverse to his form around the paddock, but he's never been a reliable kicker under pressure in tests. We've actually got some depth in goalkicking for the first time since Burke, Eales and Mortlock played in the same XV. JOC (James O'Connor) will be the...

Fullback: Hynes, JOC (James O'Connor) & Beale Wing: Mitchell, Ioane, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Turner & Davies OC: Chambers, Horne & Cross IC: Barnes & Fainga'a A Flyhalf: Cooper & Giteau Scrumhalf: Genia, Burgess & Valentine/Holmes Sheehan No 8: Brown Openside: Pocock, Hodgson & Waugh Blindside: Rocky, Higgers, Dennis & McCalman...

About 3-4 weeks ago I picked up on a Roar thread that suggested Deans try Gits at FB. It gained a little momentum when I posted on here. However another poor showing against the Reds and I can't say I'd want to find a place for him in the Wallabies at all. I too would love to see the Genia -...

Geez I hope not. Too much local talent coming through to pay automatic top-up to a Mungo (even one that's had a French apprenticeship). Invest in keeping the young performers happy and more games (Oz A, Baa Baas) for the fringe test players.

The bottom line is that the ARU management are mindful that Sailor, Rogers, Tuqiri & Tahu were all established Mungo stars and Barnes, Elsom, Palu and Chambers were converted as young players with rugby backgrounds and significantly they did not require ARU top-ups and had to (will have to for...

3. Walsh 2. Giteau 1. Friend Now I advise you all to watch a reply of the Reds and Force games to get that shit out of our systems. Fucken dire!

Geez Reds home semi vs the Tahs - how huge would that be? It'd go a way to paying off the debt at least.

I think the Bulls and Stormers are still front runners for home semi's but if the Reds win their remaining matches the unthinkableis possible. Saders will struggle I reckon. If the Tahs get over Ponies, they'll make the semis.

Giteau and Barnes should playing for their Wallaby jumpers tommorrow night and for the rest of the S14. They have been put on notice. Genia, Cooper, A Finger combo looking more irresistable every week.

3. Pocock 2. Hodgson 1. McCalman Inman impressed; Shephard getting back to full strength/confidence and hopefully he starts at FB next week; Brown and Cowan best games of the season; Sheehan played well coming back from injury. Deans has so much more depth to work with now. Unofrtunately it...

Genia no try and Quades shit kicking could have blown out the score and prevented the Stormers a bonus point.
