He was close to player of the tournament in that gun U20s side a couple of years ago. He will be fine, a bit of an ego clashing with a lack of confidence but I’d wager he’d look a lot better on the end of the Brumbies or Reds backline ATM.

Grant?

He was Aus schoolboys the same year I think as Dempsey, Crichton etc then it went pear and went o/s. He might have been the 10 for 2 years actually

Us Tahs supporters are a bit gunshy these days..nothing personal

I’ve been listening to it, i listen to all sorts of stuff when I’m driving around in circles for hours. Pulver declined to be interviewed, as does Raelene apparently. At this stage I’ve only heard the parrot talking about the 84 Wallabies, however the Folau debacle is covered today I think...

What’s up with Bell?

That would be nice, my post was semi sarcastic though!

Never say never. Cheika started the lock chicken wheel in 2015 and it’s never really stopped. 3 more are out of the picture for the June tests at least, Blake Enever returning might stabilise the issue!

Yeah I don't think it's that. More likely they have a couple of specific targets that they can't touch right now.

The whole advantage thing needs a ‘use it or lose it clause’ IMO. These ridiculous situations where we see multiple phases and a 50m territorial advantage come back to the mark because there wasn’t a strategic advantage have to go. I’m not sure what the actual rule should be but that bullshit...

It’s a proper reality check, hopefully come April that shakeup happens and we put some people in charge who actually have the game’s interest at heart. RA (read McLennan) might take the lead with any luck.

Lockdowns should be a thing of the past. NSW might be shit at rugby but at least we have proved contract tracing is the way to deal with this.

Those posts/discussions were always in the context of the possibility of having to drop to 4 or even 3 franchises. In an ideal world we would have 8-10 domestic franchises. Like it or not NSW Rugby won’t be going anywhere but hopefully there is a silver lining to come out of all of this.

Whilst I don’t have a lot of faith in head office, I do sense that the mil is left for this purpose. Rodda has to be target #1.

Except for when he got selected. Although I think you are referring to the pre international season. Yes, it was a surprise, but when he got on the field it became clear why. I've picked Valetini as the 6 in both of my TOTWs this year, but I'm still not convinced at international level. He...

I was close to picking Hodge too dru

OK here is mine: 1. Bell (WAR) 2. Mafi (RED) 3. Ala'alatoa (BRU) 4. Swain (BRU) 5. Uru (RED) 6. Valetini (BRU) 7. McReight (RED) 8. Samu (BRU) 9. White (BRU) 10. O'Connor (RED) 11. Hansen (BRU) 12. Simone (BRU) 13. Ikitau (BRU) 14. Muirhead (BRU) 15. Banks (BRU) A couple of explanations: 1...

What was last weeks TOTW?

Blaming the back row was correct

I don’t think every player is getting worse, the depth of the squad has got worse. As the saying goes, you’re only as good as your worst player. Let’s see how the next two weeks work out.
