You are entitled to your opinion. I know stats aren’t everything but they are a good starting point:

I’ll stick with my prediction of the reds making up 9/32 of the squad. The wallabies contenders aren’t the ones letting the team down tonight. The exception is probably McDermott, if you’re starting from scratch Jake Gordon is more deserving of a spot in the 23 than Tate this season.

Faessler shoulder charged without the ball, play on

If Lynagh was on Joe Schmidt’s squad shortlist I’d say he’s been removed. For this year anyway. Unrelated footnote: SANZAAR need to part with the funds to fly in neutral refs for the finals. The cost would be a rounding error for the overall tournament cost. The adjudication in this game is...

That’s a separate issue, I did mean to mention I hadn’t seen that so wouldn’t comment. Good luck tonight reds, my number 2 team.

That's just outright wrong. They aren't great at keeping them but they certainly produce more of them than Qld.

Whatever, I'm still not fussed about it with regards to his transition to rugby union. I just did a search and couldn't find anything on record - are these alleged knees to the head just things you didn't like the look of or did he actually get cited? If it's the former there are plenty of...

Yeah look, I'm not all that up to speed with what the league illegal tackle criteria are, but watching the average game they seem to be clearly less stringent than ours. As far as I can tell that is Sua'ali'i's first disciplinary issue, no doubt the adrenalin contributed, and the other factors...

The Thredbo Brumbies v the Guyra Tahs

I think it would end up working something like that whereby the Clubs apply to be part of the pro comp. The structure of the top tier would be simplified, say 1st grade, reserve grade and colts. Using Shute Shield as an example, and more specifically - Easts. Easts have an affiliation with...

I'm fully supportive of it, purely because I'm working on the assumption it's pilot study for a domestic pro comp which will replace Super Rugby in 2026.

wow that being the case, Just for shits and giggles, to see how the squad is forming: 1. 2. 3. 4. Williams 5. Rodda 6. 7. Gamble 8. Gleeson 9. White 10. Donaldson 11. Pietsch 12. Foketi 13. Kuenzle 14. Reilly 15. Beale 16. 17. 18. 19. Amatosero 20. Tizzano 21. Gordon 22. Edmed 23. Stewart

Very interesting indeed. The actual quote from Gallagher has the word ‘future’ removed

So, with anyone heading O/S being ruled out it looks like Schmidt is going full bore towards developing a squad for the Lions tour. Further, I wonder if those (incorrect) articles earlier in the year saying he was doing away with the Giteau Law actually were correct but that he's going full...

I was thinking about the 'wider' training squad yesterday, I guess who is in it would depend on what they are doing while they wait for the rest of the players to join them. E.g. I doubt the set piece is high on the agenda, there wouldn't be a front rower across both squads that is likely to be...

I have only just watched the replay, what a great game. And it wasn’t Reds going to sleep, it was Tahs having a crack.

Yet I’m still unable to find anyone that watched it. Not dismissing it, but I’m skeptical of those figures. I know stacks of people that watch NRL

Interestingly I was at the Royal Oak in Double Bay on Friday night - for the benefit of the Qlders who don't know, it's pretty much one of a few default pubs for all ex-GPS & ex-CAS boys for the last half a century. The place was humming with the hangover crowds from the Kings, Scots (parents)...

That's one prop, 5 more to find.
