Thanks and DAM Gardner has been whistle happy this season. I don’t think he is having a good season this year. Where as last year I thought he was outstanding. Maybe its the new rule interpretations. Hopefully he put the whistle in his pocket this week.

Just a couple of comments and ? I am just hoping the Ref’s don’t have too much impact. Who is the ref? i am also hoping that both teams keep the kicking to a minimum. One of the problems with these new rules is that they can encourage the kick option to be taken as they think of the reward...

Yes the Problem for Ramm is that the trend is to pick a jack of all trades on the bench. I’m not sure if Ramm is first pick wing at this stage. So it’s difficult to get a chance of the bench for young wingers.

I might have missed it but talking young players who are interesting I like Trevor Hosea as a development player.

Thanks not thinking to straight this afternoon. Need a beer or 2

Just 1 ? Wright 14 & 20

Thanks for the info. One thing I worry about is that the biggest influence Simmons has had is on the lineout. He has been fantastic in his control of it and Hanigan has also been a menace on opposition ball this season. These skill take confidence and experience to achieve.

Can’t fault Stanifort on effort, but someone please get him to run at the gaps not the man. On the subject of locks for next year WTF are the Tahs going to do no Hanigan, Simmons and no money. I wasn’t a fan of signing Simmons but he has done good things and Hanigan has really lifted this...

I think he’s on a large top up from AR. I also think his contracted till 2023

I agree with you. As To'omua went off the Rebels didn’t have a clue. Not taking anything away from the Reds D but the Rebels attack was rubbish in the 2nd half. No To'omua to take control.

Lolesio needs lots of work on his defence

Only one problem the Tahs don’t have the money.

Not sure if this is the forum for this comment but. I don’t think any of the No8’s have shown consistent form or played enough for them to have the clear front running. Nearly all of them have shown some good form at some stage. I think it will come down to the style of play Dave Rennie is...

I agree. But neither team had a attack. Yes the Reds defence was great but the Rebels attack was rubbish. But really all the Aus teams have not shown much in attack. When you look at the whole season, yes the Tahs looked great against the Reds for the first 40min and at times on Friday. The...

He doesn’t have the pace of it. But he’s had a good comp so far.

Don’t forget Angus Bell (first season) got carded in the first game when he was against Tupou. I’m sure he get back up on the horse with the support he was getting after the game

I wonder if those stories of Hayne not being a team player when he was at Parra were a factor in the Tahs saying no thanks. I heard that was one reasons the Roosters pulled out talking to him.

Dane Haylett-Petty is one of my favourite players at the moment because of his attitude and this is the sort of thing we don't hear enough of. http://www.news.com.au/sport/rugby/how-10000-preseason-propelled-dane-haylettpetty-into-wallabies-squad/news-story/af1e050bde075da31f4ea12573308fc7

That would be a good bet. If I remember correctly Gibson is on record as saying he likes ball distributors. Horowitz certainly got a lot of ball at first receiver last weekend. Not sure if Stewart has that type of game.

Here's a conspiracy theory. It's just a way for his manager to try and put pressure on the NRL to make some sort of salary cap exception so Hayne can go to a NRL club (Rosters) and keep them under the salary cap, by saying look my boy has a lot of options.
