Kafer was a solid winger and when it mattered was a good 10. Sharpe was probably the best lock of the last five years. Best commentators out there.

I like your line of logic provided it is meant to be doubly in the negative, and not the inverse of the initial premise.

Any one else like how the only Lock options in that vote your team of the Lions are the Reds and Tahs, nothing against the Reds as I would pick both the Reds locks before the Tahs this season.
To not have a Brumbies Lock in consideration is a bit of a joke, their line out is performing unlike the Tahs that's ranked lowly in the competition.

KevinO apart from saying Simmons was the only line out caller that was the only mention of lineout ability they had in the lock talks on the show.
I think for a lot of people though, the locks are just the big blokes that take a hit up everynow and then. Whether they play TH or LH, how they perform in the lineout, combinations etc don't come into consideration.

They have the 4 right selections, the problem is you could only select 1 for 2 lock spots so Horwill had like 70% and the rest 10%.

And there really is no point talking about guys Robbie won't pick. He has made it abundantly clear that these 4 will be the ones he is considering, even though I would have Carter in before Simmons.

Did anybody else hear Alan Jones statement on the show 'we have had such great players, it's only the coaching and game plan that let us down.' I know the context was over the history of Australian Rugby since WWII, but knowing Jones I have a feeling this was a not to subtle sledge at Deans.

Simmons has been one of the form locks in 2013, even Nathan Sharpe said he would have him in the starting wallabies side.. Douglas, Simmons and Horwill are currently the form locks, McMenimen was in form prior to injury and Carter and Pyle are probably sitting about 5/6th in the pecking order.
Timani is right down the order based on current form.

Could we carry Timani and Horwill in the same side in terms of the lineout? I suspect this is what we'll see

Yeah one of the big Qs and one of the arguments against Palu vs a Higgers or Mowen. But Palu will be in.

Sharpie blows the rule out of the water. Ian Jones also. Matfield last year also. Maybe it's a lock thing.
Marto was a good player in his day. I recon having a gig on breakfast commercial radio is a definite pass for being a goose.
Especially as he has been there for years. They have gone threw around 10 different combinations yet he stays. Must have a fair bit of juice on the boss.

I would have thought that RugbyHQ may have discussed the new scrum laws tonight.
It would be good if they put together a good segment outlining the changes, showing footage of how the scrum will pack together. Discuss/demonstrate the finer points of scrum work. Read Scott Allen's thread if they want content. Bring in Topo to discuss the changes. He wrote a bloody manual on scrumming.
These scrum laws gave the chance to makes scrums a spectacle not a frustration. Start educating the general rugby community on why scrums are good.

If guys like Kearns and Martin berate an umpire's decisions around the breakdown in commentary, when clearly they have very little understanding on the laws, why would they start now with scrum laws
