This is pretty old news isn't it? I remember hearing Drew talk about it on a podcast, the GBR-Au one I think - I remember I was out spraying crops and where I was, so it would have been last spring. My guess is that Cheika/RA hired some crowd to run a session and they had an SAS (or similar)...

I remember his footy card - a Magpie from memory?

Is that the bloke formerly known as John Ribot?

I know you are hypothesising, but you can't definitively say that Sio and Samu are currently better than local options, well at least not so much that you would use a foreign joker on them. Leota is still injured so that call re Swinton is academic, but Swinton may be an option on the EOYT...

absolutely, was he a lock or a loosie do you know? I'm guessing he's locking down with Kasprowicz. Edit : based on the Giddey pick up he can be 8 for now.

Yeah I was hoping to find a few more from other sports. Cronk is a grey area one as he was playing both codes and played Aus Schools in both, although I think a year apart. Moeroa is eliminated on the basis he tried to come back to rugby and was a massive fail. Good pick up re Giddey, I know...

My understanding is that Carter and Tom Roberston are just holding tackle bags as they are in Perth anyway and are not in consideration for selection. Swain is playing club rugby (in the ACT?) I think. The locks are likely to be 4. Blyth 5.LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) 19. Hooper (or another combination of those 3 ).

I was kind of suggesting players that would be considerd current, however I'll allow these with the caveat that recency is the first tie break. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Michael Kasprowicz (Cricket - former Aus RU schoolboy) 6. Angus Crichton (NRL - former Aus RU schoolboy) 7. 8. 9. Ricky Stuart (NRL -...

I thought I'd post a new thread for this so as not to clog up an existing one. Anyway, I was watching the Olympic volleyball on Saturday night between France and Poland and there were a few big athletic units playing for France which made me wonder if they ever gave rugby a crack. Further to...

3. Ikitau 2. Valetini 1. Pietsch

He's not injured, his father passed away.

I am only going off the official release which said that Frost and Williams would be following the return to play protocols, which I inferred as meaning they won’t play next Sat as I think they are 13 days? I could be wrong but I don’t think any of ours players actually went off for a HIA. I...

I have just watched the replay. I was a victim of the ignorance of RA not bowing to the demands of GPS schoolboy parents and instead opting to avoid a broadcast clash with that other insignificant global sporting event that was going on at the same time (for an example of the alternative check...

Yeah he won’t be in mine. He didn’t do anything noticeably wrong but need to play at least 50 minutes to get a vote from me.

We know you do it several times, it's probably because it was a day time game so everyone was actually awake and having a conversation about the game played several hours earlier while you were doing it. Usually everyone is either asleep or the conversation has since waned and everyone has...

The solution is to hand the keys to the NRL, on 3 conditions: 1. The code played is rugby union with some rule tinkering to speed it up 2. V'landys is made redundant 3. Perth gets priority over PNG as the next team Simple. We have a domestic professional model that works, massive community...

You are entitled to an opinion, that's fine. But just watch the game and give your summary at the end. A running commentary hours after everyone else has watched it is just fucking annoying and doesn't mesh in with the prevailing conversation.

I think he’s just drawn a line in the sand and his first step was to see what he can do with the local based exclusively. Second step was to fill a couple of holes where we have weakness, which he is doing via Koroibete and Skelton by the looks of it. He said he won’t know what his best xv is...

Argentina are the international team version of Tom wright - rocks and diamonds. Hopefully we get the rocks edition, twice.

Shit, has Marky signed for the roosters? Stop press.
