I'm available. I've never played in the front row and I'm >50, but I'll give it a crack. Nothing to lose.

Yes it's why they went from 22 to 23. You can wrangle a LHP into hooker, or a LHP into THP, etc, or even a loosie who can cover hooker e.g. Fourie. But you need all 3 positions covered with 3 separate players.

At the risk of being accused of wearing blue tinted glasses, we do tend to lift for this fixture. I'm not expecting us to win but we won't get done by 40 either. I'd be starting Harrison & Foketi and sending Pietsch back to club for a few weeks, he mightn't even make 1st grade after that...

Interestingly he could be a good fit for the bigger bodied 7 that gets talked about, assuming Joe S wants to go that way.

I'm not pointing fingers at the individual performance of the players in the context, but it seemed to me that things seemed to go from pretty bad to downright awful when the mass replacements came on. There doesn't seem to be any flexibility in who stays on and who comes off, the ones having a...

That was a poor watch. What's the go with our 3 form players being pulled on game day though?

It would not be the most sensible thing to do. A few alternatives - 1. Start Barrett v Talakai and bring Thompson-Stringer on when Tupou comes on. 2. Start HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) at loose head and with a view to playing 80 minutes and covering tight head, with Barrett as a break glass' option late in the game...

I'm confused about the Olympic Standard Climbing Centre - I take it the objective is to get to the roof, but how? It could make for good half time entertainment at the least, have cans of XXXX at checkpoints on the way up.

Yeah Im not fussed about Thursday, there is an NRL game on Thursday every week. An Easter Sunday arvo game is a missed opportunity though.

I thought you were saying Noah was the top pick this week. Hence my caveat that the weekly best isn't necessarily the overall best.

Yeah, I think we are top 8 when we get to the pointy end, it would be better to have to play off against the Reds or Brumbies than the Chiefs or Hurricanes though.

Notwithstanding Ghosts' valid comment that a weekly team isn't the gospel for the Wallabies pecking order, if you are referring to the Team of The week on here, Donaldson seems to be leading anyway? Or are you citing your favourite journalist?

I actually don't think the NRL is going to go all that well for him, he'll miss the Lions and be back for a crack in 2026

I think if someone had a gun to my head and I had to choose between Sua'ali'i and Marky for 2025, I'd pick Marky on the basis of certainty. However, I think Joe will succeed in rugby. Also, Perese has been good this season but I think Kellaway can more than adequately fill that gap, as can...

maybe they got a kid to do it for kids round. I don't particularly like it whatever the reason but I'm not putting it very high on the list of Tahs issues

Hopefully Harrison is on the bench this week v Drua

I don't disagree with any of that, but define 'if they were a worse team playing closer to their potential'. I think that sums us up, NSW rugby should be a powerhouse in a provincial comp, but the fact is we aren't. Due to some poor decisions and poor governance and a complacent administration...

Sliding doors. What if Pietsch didn't step out.

Yes, see this is the thing. The Blues are up there with the best in the world when it comes to pro teams but the Tahs get lambasted for keeping them to12 pts and a 2 point margin. Sure, it wasn't the best watch but one of the objectives of rugby is to stop the opposition from scoring points -...
