The US is the strongest country in the world, does it mean it’s the best run? The SS is an amazing competition but the consistent undermining of any structures in Aus that would have a positive flow on effect to other areas is undeniably true. That includes with NSW itself where there is almost...

Actually at parliamentary level a region of 40,000 people has the same vote as an area of 400,000. It’s also democratic in that the people in those areas get to choose who represents them.

Ruan Smith at Reds this week for a short term deal. Having visa issues in the US, so plugging a gap in Reds squad until that’s sorted

I don’t think that will wash with any of the other parties. A system like that will change absolutely nothing and continue the current mess where people throw their weight around for their own gain at the expense of others. Equal votes means that one party will never dominate. We have already...

Not having a dig but I need some clarity as it’s just getting very confusing from an outsider. a) what are they doing that isn’t collaborative with the clubs? b) is there any other example of Australian sport where a professional team has to collaborate with 12 amateur clubs? c) what do clubs...

For comparison here is a kiwis take on SRAU team of the week Paul Cully (SMH) Super Rugby AU Team of the Week 1 Scott Sio (Brumbies) 2 Feleti Kaitu’u (Force) 3 Santiago Medrano (Force) 4 Fergus Lee-Warner (Force) 5 Trevor Hosea (Rebels): Player of the round 6 Tim Anstee (Force) 7 Carlo Tizzano...

I don’t actually think they are doing much different than the other teams are, except once they get into the opposing half they inevitably have a penalty and they always take it. The other teams are doing the same thing, except when they are 40 out they kick for the corner with the same...

It doesn’t mention anything about grassroots, local products or production lines. It doesn’t talk about fan engagement through a means of another club. If anything it justifies more the notion that Tahs v SS is made up of imaginary negativity. The guys example on it is a friend supporting a team...

I don’t know what was untruthful about it. The idea was proposed and then rejected. Yes good PR but doesn’t mean it wasn’t truthful. Anything to stick the boot in

Philip is 4cm taller than the worlds best lock. I’d love to see FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner), Philip and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) run in tandem, prob with a taller 6 available. Would offer plenty of go forward and industry around the park

People keep saying this, same with Hooper. Both will be available if club fixtures don’t clash.

It was a 50/50 so can’t complain. Was more annoyed he gave away a stupid penalty 40seconds earlier. Lacked serious game awareness in doing so

Crowd looked alright, about on par with the usual. Brums don’t need to create hyperbole around crowds to justify their existence. Let’s remember this was the official crowd at the first Force game

RHP and Hosea both were 2 of the best on park. Anderson didn’t receive a yellow and was far more involved than Hansen

It definitely wasn’t in the locks or either wing. But yes it’s incorrect for anyone to say no position outplayed each other. It was pretty even across the board.

1. Eloff (Rebels) 2. Porecki (Tahs) 3. HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) (Tahs) 4. FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) (Force) 5. Hosea (Rebels) 6. Anstee (Force) 7. Koteka (Force) 8. Dempsey (Tahs) 9. Cubelli (Force) 10. To'omua (Rebels) 11. Koroibete (Rebels) 12. Kahui (Force) 13. Ikitau (Brums) 14. Maddocks (Tahs) 15. Banks (Brums) Some difficult calls...

Sign of a good team that’s prepared

Tuqiri would be next off the bench but he’s also injured. Most likely would start with Anae at LH, switch Sordoni to start and drop Eloff to TH bench with Kailea joining him on the bench. Despite tonight’s showing Sordoni is actually a good scrummager. Brums obviously did plenty of work on him...

Two bonus points from the 2 hardest games of the season. That’s a moderate return. If we can pick up some points next weekend as well that would mean just need to win 3/4 home games and beat the Tahs away to basically make the finals again. With another 3/4 top line players returning (Orr...

Hosea by seasons end will be the best lock in the country, that’s if he already isn’t.
