I think we can learn from the demise of Tom Carter. Last year he was the top try scorer and he was awarded the Waratah Medal. Watching him develop, I expected a lot better things from him this year. Yet after round 11 it seems his Super Rugby career is finished. Always the team man I think...

I watched Beale play yesterday and for 80 minutes I saw the finesse and total confidence that he had as a prodigiously talented schoolboy. That we rarely, if ever, saw this at the Tahs is at the heart of what is going wrong. Maybe, as he professed, it wasn't the money that lured him to the Rebels.

Very disappointing game to watch. The Tahs tried hard but were a rudderles rabble. We must do better with the amount of quality ball provided by the forwards. When you kick that often your game plan relies heavily on your back three. Our back three aren't going to scare too many teams while...

Bottom of the table clash. Penrith vs Randwick. Who would of thought....

I have my concerns about BB. Is he over his problems of last year- he seems to start well and then his form tapers off throughout the game?

My team would include. 1. Robinson 2. Moore 3. Palmer 4. Horwill 5. Pyle 6. Higginbotham 7. Pocock 8. Palu 9. Genia 10. Lucas 11. O'Connor 12. McCabe 13. Horne 14. Ioane 15. Beale. 16 Hansen 17 Kepu 18 Timani 19 Hooper 20 White 21 Mogg 22 Cummins The talent here will get better over the...

I slot players into different types. bargers.... Kepu, Dennis, Mumm, Horwill, Brown line breakers.... Palu, Ioane, Mitchell, Cooper, Higginbotham, Genia, Kahui finessers.... Cooper, Genia, White, Lilo, SBW, Guildford, Steyn, Lambie flyers... Mitchell, Davies, Beale, O'Connor, Kingston My...

At last year's WC Horne played at inside centre against the US. I commented at the time this was an unwise move and sure enough 2 minutes into the game Horne's first touch was a crash ball straight into the US 120kg no8 captain, and yes he broke something and was taken off. Next day he was back...

James will be back up inside centre behind Apo. Slim pickings in that position. So Killingworth comparison not really valid.

In the 2nd half the Crusaders popped the Reds hooker and got the penalty. They kicked 10 metres from Reds line and from the line-out the Crusaders got a loose head scrum. In a mighty effort the Reds popped their hooker 3, yes 3 times and he merely resets the scrum each time. Bryce equals...

I really enjoyed the game. I predicted there would be some great matchups and I thought the contests across the park were brutal with full hearted attack and fearless defence from both sides. The Waratah's 11, 13, 14 and 15 struggled for combination and class in their positions and I thought...

I agree. The selectors will have a hard job. From what I have seen most of the World Cup players are struggling in the S15 this year. With this poor form in mind, the appointment of new coaches (and the McKenzie blowtorch to Deans) and the start of the WC cycle, I can see lots of controversial...

Is he unhappy about playing on the wing at test level?

"Attacking Tom Carter's integrity and character." SANZAR could make a fortune out of this place.

There are some great match-ups in this game with a theme of the old versus the new so I think it might get a bit willing. I'm looking forward to the contest between Barnes and Lealiifano, and the front row contest will be a cracker. I would like to know what the Waratah's playing group and...

Carter was injured and playing on the wing a lot against the Rebels. He probably shouldn't have played, but who would you replace him with. Would have been a crap backline without him. If Tom Kingston can't defend at 13 they should have brought in Bennetts or Hodge rather than Betham.

Who would sign this guy for three years. Gifted, though.

This press release is good if indicates that SANZAR are not going to tolerate substandard refereeing performances. Bryce Lawrence is an example of what you get when referees aren't challenged in the public domain by the governing body. While everyone is focussing on the knock on, Jake White...

ILMF, seven clubs have used fresh reserves.
