I'd like us to pick the 10 with the best kicking game. In the past guys like Lynagh and Larkham have been able to play field position and then attack deep in the opposition half. We need to be smarter in our general play kicking and develop a defence that frustrates the opposition.

Yep, James Sua was a man mountain. Was in the Reds squad for a few years but never cemented himself at the next level. Was devastating for the Dragon's when they were one of the top teams in the comp.

I'd argue that early on in a players career they do get better being on the bench. Bring them on at the back end of the game and play against a tiring team. NZ are the masters of this, by the time a player is in a starting role they have 20-30 test caps and are part of the furniture, I...

2007 Sunnybank won Premier grade and Colts 1. Premier grade won by close to 90 over the Breakers and Colts had a big comeback over GPS.

I don't think Skelton fit into our style. Premiership and Top 14 rugby are very different to the rugby the Wallabies seem to want to play. Think we'd have to change our style to fit him in.

You thought that was bad, wait until he has Lynagh 2.0 to talk about, we'll never hear the end of it.

Will post the tipping tomorrow morning, might do a table update too. From memory only about 4 tipsters in the running for the imaginary chocolates.

So we lost some content in the change to the new forum but it reminded me to talk more about the Terrace undefeated season so far. ;) I all seriousness though it'll be great to have the rugby back this weekend. Three games for some players to cement their schoolboy legacy.

And they'll be super upset on missing out on the inevitable premiership they should have been awarded this year. :D OK, that was obviously a joke. The Terrace program will be interesting. Will Broad go around again in 2022 with the same coaching team? My understanding is they were just...

There will always be an asterisk next to the Premiership because of the change in format, that's what it indicates. I don't think that takes away from them being the Premiers and an outstanding team. They were the best team in the comp and showed that in their results. If the season went ahead...

I like Paisami and Ikitau in the centres and think Petaia still has lots to add, wont be surprise to see him back as our first choice 13 by the end of the year. The French didn't beat us thought the centre channels.

Controversial, a few boys getting cold feet or do you have more inside info?

I feel these by-laws will put an end to my dream of a Terrace rugby premiership this year. :(

Rounds 3 & 4 are cancelled. Round 5 BGS v TGS is cancelled too.

Bell gets dicked at scrum time, I want him in the squad and to be training against Tupou, but I want our back up behind Slipper not to be a risk at scrum time. I'm hopeful Sio and Robertson can deliver that, but we'll see.

In my opinion they need some quality locks and another prop. Let they guys who will be there long term develop. In saying that I wouldn't say no to Kerevi, I just wouldn't pin my hopes on him.

Can't imagine we'll get much, if any rugby in this term. If lockdown is extended they'll need some return to play protocols to make sure their bodies are ready for the physicality.

Yeah, they went a bit nuts with the attack at all costs game plan. Souths should have won that year but they threw away games going for high risk plays when something simple would have worked.
