G&GR Wallaby of the year 2009

[Pfitzy]

Kepu and Palmer look pretty interesting, too.

I'm tipping Palmer as maybe possibly being something.

4th rank: Kepu, Cowan, Palmer

Shit that's looking even better.

 

[RugbyReg]

find me a hooker for between Daley and Weekes and I'm still happy.

And Fairbrother aint named yet either.

 

[Gagger]

What else would you expect from a nation that's a traditional scrummaging power house?

 

[Scarfman]

Auckland, 2011.

Kaplan: Penalty there or scrum here.

The Rock: We'll take the scrum. The scrum of DESTINY!!!!

 

[Moses]

Nice to see he's got a worth cause linked to his moniker as well.

eightytwentyvision is Bam's own charity, from all reports he takes it very seriously and donates a lot of his own time and money to make it happen.

Wont make any difference, if Kaplan is there in 2011 we're farked

 

[Pfitzy]

Or Joubert. Unless they have an epiphany between now and then.

 

[Scarfman]

Kaplan: Penalty against Gold 1 for boring in on the oppostion goal line.

Also James Hanson & Ben Daley are to good youngsters coming along nicely.

On the Front row, I think you need to break it up


LHP
Top rank: Robinson,
2nd rank: Kepu
3rd rank: Holmes, Daly

Hooker
Top rank: TPN, Moore
2nd rank: Freier
3rd rank: Fitzpatrick

THP
Top rank: Alexander
2nd rank: Baxter, Dunning, Mafu
3rd rank: Palmer, Shepherdson

Funnily enough as for depth, LHP & Hooker back up maybe our weakest point in the front row

 

[Scotty]

Not when you consider that Dunning and Alexander are also both on the 2nd rank list of LHP.

 

[Scarfman]

Mafu ahead of Palmer? I thought Palmer had a bit of push in him. Or are my old eyes deceiving me?

 

[Lindommer]

Not yet, LG. Not yet.

Alexander maybe, but I don't rate Dunning particularly highly as a LHP, he is doing good work at THP

 

[Scotty]

And the question on everyone's lips is where will Alexander be playing for the Brumbies?

 

[Spook]

Hard not to play him at THP. Problem is who do you play at LHP? Sheperdson was better than any of other props at the Brumbies besides Alexander. Ma'afu needs to do more around the pitch. Jerry Y hasn't started a S15 game yet.

I read somewhere that it might be a good idea to keep Alexander at LHP as it is a more technical position. Actually, I think Lee Grant said it. Alexander is also pretty good as a ball carrier.

 

[fatprop]

Mafu ahead of Palmer? I thought Palmer had a bit of push in him. Or are my old eyes deceiving me?

Palmer needs time on the field and to show evidence his workrate around the field is a bit higher. So far, his workrate is about as high as Baxter's.

Mafu has more runs on the board at the moment, he toured, came on and strengthened dodgy scrum against Cardiff.

 

[rugbywhisperer]

And no one is even considering Slipper????
How bizare!!!!!

Has he played a S14 game yet?

 

[Newb]

one for the future for sure. post-2011 i'd guess. he should have time to develop and age.
