Speculation in the press about Bernard Foley potentially being selected for the Wallabies next year based on a 6-month contract with the Waratahs between Japanese seasons. Just words, but it was suggested he might be selected while based overseas. I appreciate Foley's strengths but it would...

Good post and could apply to many, many of the "trending" arguments that come up on this forum and elsewhere. The occasionally-annoying opinions aren't always fires that need to be put out. Even though it's the GaGR one, I think the comments section of nearly any article in internet history...

I guess safety under the high ball is the big concern there. But then again Beale is always talked about as the second-choice 15 and I feel no more confident when he's leaping up to catch a ball than Quade. He could cover it in a pinch of course. Add in one ore two decent performances at 12 (in...

I don't always manage to watch Waratahs games but personally I don't think much is lost with Carraro from what little I've seen of him. He seems to have a great footballing brain, good defence and tackling, no glaring weaknesses. His only problem is that sometimes, with a guy unmarked outside...

I think Slim's list was who won each round, hence Hooper appearing twice. If that's what you were responding too that is. Gill has probably been the Reds most consistent player this season - I don't think that you could possibly get a higher accolade than out performing some of the in-form...

A positive for the Reds was again Liam Gill I thought. Two moments in particular stood out to me. One was a 1 v 1 contest in the ruck, on equal terms, with Will Skelton where Gill demolished him. I'll try and find it, I thought at the time that Cheika surely noticed it.

For the first time ever I left a Reds home game early last night. I do regret it, but they're pretty much the reverse Harlem Globetrotters at this point.

It wasn't directed at Ben Daley? Someone should tell him about Ben Daley.

To be fair(er) to Higgers, Drew broke his ankle when Higgers moved off his line to block him while he was chasing a kick. Still foul play, but I think a trip in that context is worse.

He didn't get away with it anyway. Being a sports start increased his punishment by $30k, not to mention the loss of his brand value and the publicity a "normal" person wouldn't have to contend with. The thing that hasn't really been discussed much that I really struggle with, is that cocaine...

I've noticed a lot of games Taps and Ant swap around in defence, so that Ant is at 13. This is a good compromise for me as it puts the more playmakery of the two at 13 on attack and the better defensive reader and organise at 13 on defence. Not sure if SuperCoach will do that though, as that was...

Would rehab serve any purpose for someone who's not a habitual user (based on known facts)?

Pushing the laws of the game or pushing the rules of punctuation. Both are artforms I suppose, but happy to go with rugby. I have to say that even as an ardent believer in Pocock as the potential world's best and a huge Gill fan there is something undeniable about Hooper. How do you drop him...

Interestingly, or actually not interestingly, some of my first few posts from years ago were directed at the same thing. Some also mentioned rugby.

Slim, as a personal favour can you please stop filling every post with ellipses? I am worried I'm going to have an aneurysm if I keep seeing it. I'm also worried about the time cost of each additional period you have to type. But back to the rugby. Liam Gill has been playing extremely well and...

Disallowed because of the knock on.

You could see how much that meant to the Reds.

No it isn't. That's just silly. Clearly it's more obscure a rule than "you can't pick it up" in soccer.

You get a card for professional fouls. It would be terrible obviously, but technically it could have been a penalty try. Interestingly Karmichael Hunt did the same thing while playing in France and it lead to a penalty try (though no card).

What did he say?
