Looking at this week's draw, I doubt the top four will change from: 1 Melbourne 2 NSW Country 3 Brisbane 4 Perth Which means we'll probably play Perth in the semi final. None of the spots from 2 to 4 are locked up though and it's still possible for the Vikings to grab 4th if they can beat...

Slightly disappointed that Alexander isn't playing. Would have loved to see Toby and PAE against Ben and Benn.

3 Kuridrani 2 Higgers 1 Fardy As per the thumbs

Thanks for the updates Lindommer. There's a match review up already at http://melbournerebels.com.au/news/article/melbourne-rising-take-the-points-in-orange 3 YCs handed out.

According to Hedger, on the wireless this morning, Sefa had an operation on his hand this week. There is a chance he might be back in time for the finals though (assuming we make the finals of course).

I vaguely recollect reading somewhere that they're flying to Sydney then catching a bus to Orange.

And bus lag? (I'm sure that's a thing)

And, no Burgess.

In the case of the players, Stockholm Syndrome?

I dunno who the ref was but I thought he did OK, certainly no worse that some of the refs during the Super season. Obviously the NRC is also a development tool for refs. This is a good thing I reckon. One of the ARs was Angus Gardiner so it looks as though an experienced ref is being used as a...

Must be a bit of a concern about Shipperly though and Crawford hasn't really dominated in the NRC games he's played so far.

Telusa is on a two year contract - 2014/2015.

Yep fair enough but, isn't it a shame that they decide to rest their best players on one of the weeks their game is on the telly? I'd like to think that all of the teams are on board when it comes to showing off the quality of the NRC. I actually expected Rising to rest a couple more players...

Thanks oztimmay! I have totally stolen your Rising flag.

I'm not really familiar with many of the WA players. Anyone to keep an eye on?

I'm taking advantage of the free tix offer to take a couple of AFL fans along tonight. Hoping for a good game and a Rising win.

I wonder if part of Louden's brief is to be the Rising head coach next season? Wasn't Link an assistant at the Brumbies at one point?

Just watched the first half on YouTube (doesn't look like the 2nd half is up yet). Definitely a good first 40 mins from Jack. The grubber kick that led to Inman's try turned out to be a cracking good option. Hopefully he keeps improving with more game time.
