Fair point. Will shut up about that one now :D

I'd like to see some evidence of that happening, and of them running skills drills, giving away a little merch and generally getting kids excited. I'd also like to see some evidence that 30 of those 1000 aren't the lads heading to Newington for a good old-boys gabfest and a bit of training. I'm...

Leaving aside any other disputes who's played well/hasn't (Volavola imploded in a big, big way last week, Dennis and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) solid but not wallaby-certainty standard, Carter himself) the issue I find interesting is that of Chapman. His strength has been championed as his lineout play. Did anyone...

I agree 100% This is a marvelous and fantastical rewrite of history. The Tahs let Mowen go to GET ROCKY. By my standards, that is a far worse crime, but Dennis simply did not enter into the equation at that point.

Why on earth does it require a bye week to get out to schools? There's no reason they can't do a minimum of fortnightly visits, and I'd argue any non-playing squad members should be out there twice a week.

The Tahs have decided that negative feedback on the team and NSW rugby from old players is no good, so they've decided to offer them some targeted freebies. At the same time as feedback on the ills of the administration are being ignored from at least one former Waratah and Wallaby tourist...

Not sure how McCutcheon, having not played for a year, is a logical selection... Agree with the rest.

I agree 100% with Braveheart81 on the 22. If no Barnes/not confident he can last, switch him and Carter. If he's still "half rat power" Turner prob onto the bench...

Yeah, I did have Betham and Folau on the "would like but suspect they'll leave" list - ie reckon they'll likely leave for bigger money or different codes - but fair points on Ulugia and Holloway, too. I guess I put Ulugia in the Tilse boat - but you're right, he's probably not on huge dollars...

Guys I'd re-sign if I had all the money and control. I've bolded the ones I'd particularly like to see in the squad, but there's only 9 of those guys who I'd jettison - and even then, McKibbin and Tilse are useful enough. Ollie Atkins and Jed Holloway need to make big steps in Shute to warrant...

ARE YOU SURE CYCO?!?! They may be...posting among us...

This, definitely. I like that squad, admittedly it's a little light on the bench for 2nd row cover but given we have 4 potential locks in the starting 8, we should be right. Agree Turner to 15 is an option. If Barnes isn't fit, I'd have Lachie on the bench at the very least.

Mate have a crack all you like but that's just offensive.

I don't know about starting this week, but I thought Lucas was exceptional in the small burst he had. I can see him, at the very least, putting a lot of pressure on McKibbin.

Agree with everything else you said but not sure about this. If not for blatantly illegal tactics, Kepu picks up a fistful of penalties at scrum time last night. He wasn't prominent around the park, but I like the option of bringing Paddy on after 50/55, fresh legs and aggression, and try...

Lol well I'm bringing Brumbies fan with me so it's unsurprising. Sorry, didn't know the intellectualisation of the ACT was our end goal. Should I abandon her at the airport? ;)

That was extraordinarily frustrating. I was pissed with the touchie for not picking it up the first four scrums, then Hoffman switched sides and for one, yes one, scrum Henderson kept his bind and got monstered. Next scrum, in front of the ref, Henderson planted the hand and got away with it, so...

Think it's fair to say that the benching had something to do with it. We really need Tilse applying genuine pressure. Amazingly, he put together that game and still had time to occasionally look like a passenger at a couple of breakdowns. If he gets that little bit fitter.......watch out, universe.

That sucks!

I'll be heading down. A few other Tah and Brumby supporters I know are too. Would be great if it filled up but regardless I just hope for a cracker. And yes, I do want to visit Questacon, the Art Gallery and the Mint. Less sure about the pedalo idea Braveheart81 is espousing... :D
