I think that's about right, though I would swap Harris and Lucas on defence as I think Benny is a better defensive fullback from what we've seen.

No where near as much pressure as other teams have put them under. Reds didn't lose a scrum if I recall correctly and had fairly clean ball consistently. I'm definitely not saying that Palmer is a bad scrummager because he is obviously very good - but just perhaps not so dominant that it offsets...

It's odd that this amazing scrummager didn't manage to get much over Ben "what's a scrum?" Daley on the weekend. I know he's good, but if he's not going to absolutely dominate at scrum time his work rate and effectiveness in the other 95% of the game will need to start rivalling slipper or kepu.

Yeah, always a lot of good cheap laughs to be had when mocking troubled alcoholics! I think the Brumbies who acknowledge the try as a 50/50 call are spot on - the only useable angle was the front and looked simultaneous to me. Does anyone know what is meant to happen in that situation? I...

Yeah, Hooper has been undeniably awesome. I do remember him missing a tackle on the line which may be what he's referring to - but to write of his permanent based on that is silly.

I think he should definitely be backin in the squad though. At this stage I think he has done more than any other openside to deserve that. I wouldn't be upset if Gill got to come along to training though.

Higgers?

They've asked him to sit-outi this game.

Pretty sure there was a Red Army before the Rebel Army. You guys will have to change to the Rebel Alliance, for which there is even earlier precedent.

Well, some people probably care.

Bad defence, no confidence, no presence. The only impactful things he did were bad. A very tough ask of him to be fair, but no fairytale debut this time.

Fuck me - how many tries have the Reds let in in the last 15 minutes. Just not up for it at all, no cohesion.

Yeah, the injuries suck but they're not that bad - certainly not bad enough to warrant this. The Bulls have been excellent, the Reds very bad. Dallan Murphy particularly did not have a good game.

Thought it looked stupid, but not really offended by it. Thought Corey Janes pelvic thrusts to jimmy cowan's face was a lot more disrespectful. He is always a bit cocky after scoring though (is there a better time to be cocky?).

A real shame for the All Blacks, very important player and you can really tell when he's unavailable. When Diggers did pretty much our only good thing against the All Blacks in the WC Semi my memory is of Kaino basically picking up the moving ball of players and throwing them to ground. A monster.

Yeah, typical bullshit. Any group will have dickheads and gentleman. Often you are what you call the other. Anyway, this discussion is about the admin/management side of things - the players aren't really all that involved so it matters little what they're getting up to in their spare time. I...

I like their haircuts. A good mix of classic and modern edge.

John. I like to use questions to make my angry stance known to everyone listening without actually seeking any new or enlightening information. Am I a dickhead?
