Dean Mumm? Ashley-Cooper could have been. I think Genia will be, same with Horwill.

Gun for hire or fairweather friend?

Had a brainwave; what about Dave Harvey? He's in good club form.

O'Connor's gone. (To France)

I'm sure you can feel our jealousy from up there...

Will Martyn Williams agree with this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmIzYvh9Dys

Good point, Daz. I feel for those who will inevitably be compared to The Ork.

Did they zero the scales for Fainga'a? I think the perception is correct, Charles plays heavier than Fainga'a. But Charles is a longshot IMO, Deans will take Fainga'a.

I think he'll still be involved with the Waratahs even if he isn't playing for years to come. Also I think he'd probably like to keep playing but as captain he can't really be on the bench. I think the injuries are piling up too. He has two young boys too. Phil Waugh's just a champion. At...

Agreed. I think we're just overstepping the mark. Gillomania was probably a little excessive, the talk about Timani came close too. Don't worry about state bias. Won't be long and we'll be forking into the Kiwis.

I think Dennis and Vaea are still a season away. Dennis is still improving, Vaea is pretty green. Don't throw them in until they're ready unless we have to.

Would you have the same attitude if the boot was on the other foot?

Didn't Taione play for the Brumies this year? Or was that Elvis Levi?

Nah I'd rather spend a season with a local flyhalf who will make mistakes but can grow into the 10 jersey than bring in a recruit who might be a success. Tahs need to develop a ten for the long term. Even if Barnes is unable to play, he'd be useful to coach.

Definitely agree, TBH. It's a subtle change in direction that's not oversold, really is quite Larkham-esque as you put it. Pretty beefy pack for West Harbour, too. Hikila in particular looks like a very solid citizen. I thought I heard the commentators say that Cummins is 19; is this correct?

Interesting theory. Maybe Taf just has a crush on Sharon?

I think the refs are seeing possession as more valuable than previously. IIRC, in LG's non set piece thread there was a quote about a captain questioning the ref about the advantage played to which the ref replied "sure you had an advantage; you had the ball."
