So it looks like Beau Robinson is missing out on a spot then? Is their recent time at Warringah really a good enough test to compared Lipman and Robinson?

Beale at Randwick? No more Norths for him, I guess. Anyone know how Leon Bott has been going at Penrith?

I suppose Genia's last game will just get the selective amnesia treatment? He was pretty awful, too.

Anyone been over the The Silver Fern lately? The Wobs are getting an absolute shellacking...

Groovin' the Moo?

Tom Carter would probably hit someone if he got on the pitch for the Wobs, wether we were winning or losing. But thats more aggro than hardness, per say.

Hardest man in the Aus team? Pocock's pretty hard, remember him fixing his dislocated thumb vs Wales last year?

I only agree to some extent; Mitchell has earned a lot of the criticism he has recieved but as an occasional winger myself, its very difficult to create play if you dont receive the ball more than a handful of times. Cooper has the advantage of being able to recieve the ball upwards of 15...

Hmmm I wonder if its time to give the crash ball runner 12 a decent go at the international level. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) could be the man, probably not A. Fainga'a yet. Maybe even Horne.

I laughed, then I pondered, and i have to say I agree. But he would need to play the best game he has ever played... EVER, to get the job done better than the incumbents. But then again, theoretically every player in the team should be aiming to play their best game ever when they run out for...

Wasn't featured on the Channel 7 feed, though we tend to miss bits and bobs.

You're right about the backs, no problems there - sure, you can hide one player in defense, but at the elite level (I use the term with respect to our opposition, btw...) you cant have 3 or 4 defensive liabilities on the field at the same time. I was really referring to the forwards. A lot of...

Where are these mythical units? I don't see any in the Aus Super 14 teams squads that match the job description...

Mitchell's best games, probably the games vs the Cheifs and the Hurricanes, came after working with the same backline consistantly for 11-12 weeks plus the preseason - the Wobs backline has been working together for about 4-5? Of course its going to take time to gel, especially with so many...

Rubbish. He didn't get dominated, but he was hovering about an inch over the ground in most scrums and was pretty anonymous around the park. Probably just had one of those days.

....wait, what?

Someone mentioned it before (Cyclo? Cant remember), Deans has invested a lot of time into players, trying to refine them into better players; Brown, Barnes, Burgess, O'Connor and more recently Cooper and Genia just to name a few. It would be pretty darn stupid to just kick one of this lot out...

France did win the 6 Nations, so I guess the fans might just chalk it up to their normal cultural unpredictability. Can anyone find the team sheets for this game?

And he hasn't done it in any of the previous games. Definetely part of the game "plan".

Big fish in the little pond versus the Southern outside backs, managed to get on the outside of his man everytime and draw the winger. At one point in the first half he had touched it 5 times and 4 of them Eastwood scored. Anyone else notice Palmer played shit and then got subbed at half time?
