Oh dear... Georgina R, what did you say last night?

You grew up in Queensland? That's it. There goes your credibility. Just when I was liking your contributions to the show.

The 2nd question in the interview from Robinson was about Pocock. Thankfully Martin brushed her and said enough about him lets focus on the man we are actually interviewing. Also I found it wired when she was also referring to Pocock as Poey. Are they besties? Shit journalism done magnificently.

Marto said that the Reds have lost faith in the referees because they went for the field goal - utter bollocks - it sounds like an excuse.

She's always been very open about being a Queenslander.

She's said before that she has often had an amused chuckle whenever accused of being biased against the Reds in her articles.

Gee you lot are a sour bunch! After reading the last few pages of comments, I think the show is getting much much better. I enjoy watching it every week. I have a love of the technical game analysis of things, but GAGR seem to fix that for me whenever the lads on fox don't go into great detail. I enjoy the humour segments too. Anyone calling for a scrap on all humour segments needs to lighten up a little. Nobody, Georgina and Gregan's inclusuion on the show is quite refreshing and I enjoy their insights! Especially Georgina's questions. I hate the way commentators don't actually ask open ended questions. They are just statements with the tone of a question, and you can only expect one answer. Georgina tends to actually ask QUESTIONS. I don't mind Marto so much. Kearns I can't stand.

I was with you until the Kearns statement. I had the same thoughts initially but I have met him on several occasions (charity events, post game) and he is a really decent bloke. Has a lot of time for those who love the game.

No no I agree with you I think he is great, just off the tv screen ;) Met him as an ankle biter back in the day when the brumbies did the Macquarie Bank training day at Joeys. His son actually jumped on a coke can and it burst and sprayed all over my mum. He was really apologetic and offered to clean up mum's jacket for her. I just think he is getting worse on telly these days.

The difference between Georgina and the rest of them is that she is ACTUALLY a journalist where as the rest of the panel are washed up wallabies bar nick who is just there to keep he show from running over time.

I am old enough to remember when such a comment would have been seen as a compliment. Nowadays being a journalist seems to mean that you can use Google and Wikipedia, and that you can cut and paste from media releases. I don't mean for my comment to reflect on Georgina - I don't have an opinion on her either way as I have read very little of her work.

Georgina Robinson or Greg Growfat?


Pretty simple choice for most rational human beings (Growfat's relatives excepted).

Thought I was watching the Comedy Channel when Kafe /others picked their Wallaby/Brumby team.

Fell off my seat, spilt my potatoe chips and beer when they chose Sio and Mowen. Sio will get a bench spot at absolute best - he is behind Slipper and possibly Robbo.

Mowen is just done and dusted.

I certainly wouldn't have Palu in there. Unless you put Higgers at 8 or the better and more efficient V.2 McCalman? My eyes were as wide as dinner plates when I saw Horwill's name up there. Are they kidding?!

I'd take Schatz over Mowen - at least he's sticking around. (I'm not having a go at Mowen's decision but if you're going goodbye to your Test jumper).

Sio's form (particularly his scrummaging) has been better than the both of them this year when he's played........

But I would expect Link to go with Slipper to start with Sio on the bench.........

As for Mowen, I'd select him if there was an injury crisis but there's not..........
