Lose Frisby and we're totally, completely, hilariously fucked

Besides, Skelton has proved this season that he is a capable jumper at 2 (where the weaker of the two big boys typically jumps). Now that we know he can get off the ground, arranging some deception to make sure his slow speed getting up there isn't an issue should be no big deal

So you don't start with Palu and Skelton. Simple Palu and your bench lock come on at same time and nobody loses

Yeah agree with the two comments above. Play your best team (at that specific moment in time) against the kiwis (twice) and the boks (once) with the exceptions of one or two players, then play another one or two who are knocking on the door vs the Argies

Yeah but they only compared McMahon vs Fardy. Look at Higgers stats for the same categories, add his line out prowess, bulk and experience. He'd do a better job in the same role 6. Higgers 7. Pocock 8. Palu or Big Dog 6. Fardy 7. Hooper 8. Palu or Big Dog

Anyone read the comments from Greg Harris in the paper today? Foley signed his Japanese deal well before the flexible contract was on the table for him, effectively saying to the ARU "I'm having my cake, the only question is if you're going to feed it to me too". To me, that sucks. That is not...

It's seems stupid that Bernard Foley is the player that has broken the ducks back so to speak. From a wallabies perspective (which should be the primary concern when doling out ARU contracts), Folau, To'omua even Cooper are all players with more to offer the wallaby cause. Should use the murky...

Furthermore, this whole "Simmons will give away a penalty rah rah rah. . . He's a bone-headed player. . . No discipline" thing is a myth that has persisted long beyond it's period of validity, similar to "Quade can't tackle", "AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) can't pass" etc. I'd like to see Simmons and Skelton start the...

Brumbieman, take off the glasses or get off the sauce. We'd have to be nuts to discard Simmons for Carter at this stage. Simmons is a) Calls the line out and actually pinches more than a few on their throw (best form of maul defence is to pinch it in the air, primary possession and all that...

Offer him something Reds, by the time you see him in the NRC he'll have Super Rugby teams lining up

^ could someone please send the above link to quade's facebook or Twitter

Moore no question. Certain starter, keeper of standards, tactically astute, seniority, hanging around next year etc. Slipper for VC. No formal fucking "leadership group" or "standards group". 1 skipper and a VC and that's it

I accept your viewpoint but respectfully disagree. "The standout No 9 so far" is a fairly long bow to draw. He's been good in patches, and poor in patches (he wasn't just shit vs blues, he was pretty average against the tahs and has had some poor moments in other games). I'll be interested to...

I do not and have never considered White to be Phipps back up. Genia is playing better footy currently in a fucking shithouse team. I have been rather disappointed in White (and Carter) so far this season, sucks because I think he is (they) are very good player(s)

The Reds will field their strongest forward pack of the season this week. If they want to crack a win finally, they should be focusing hard on how they are going to really try and take the Cheetahs on in the set piece.

Look, as far as I'm concerned it comes down to this. - To'omua has played the best footy at 12 of any wallaby in that position over that last 3-4 years - Cooper has more potential upside at 10 than any other candidate for that jersey. His purported downsides have diminished every year for the...

I'm going to have a crack at a calm and rational response. This is roughly what I have put together as the timeline based on first hand accounts from the players about when they heard what. The Reds were never in hunt to retain Harris. I can confirm this because the bloke alluded as such to me...

20th minute

The Reds are just SO FUCKING HOPELESS without quade. They looked so good for 20 mins.
