I'm taking Blues over the Bulls. About the only thing that is vaguely questionable about the Bulls is there D and the Blues have the backs to exploit that.

Draw vs BP loss isn't that much difference though.

I thought that was pretty good from the Tahs in those conditions. Horne has a good brain on him. He hobbled off again though.
Tahs go top.
Tahs go top.
Well, can't see another thread into which to put this. We had a good night. Go the Tahs!
Thomond78 and Mrs T78 joined me and Lindommer for a couple of quiet ones at the Lord Dudley before adjourning to the Stadium for the game with Lee Grant providing seat-kicking and commentary from the row behind. Luckily Lee had the foresight to reserve us seats just out of the rain, although Thomo wanted to move forward to be in it for that little bit of "home". Mrs Thomo was happy to stay dry. She seems eminently sensible. Thomo is a lucky man.
I'll let Thomo update us on his thoughts, but suffice to say he is an erudite judge of the game, particularly the piggy-stuff. I think he enjoyed himself pretty much.
Then we all adjourned to the Fox and Lion for a few proper beers - met Scarfy, Jonnosan, Mr and Mrs Riddler and Langthorne and a good night was had by all. Lindommer kept finding random West Harbour club officials to hug - we humoured him.
No show award - Waratahjesus. Surprise showing award - Lachie Turner, but Langthorne couldn't be convinced to give up his G&GR T-shirt for LT to get a photo shot.
Anyway, Waratahs at the top - who'd have thought it? Won't crow about it just yet; as our mate PB says, it's a marathon, not a sprint and I feel there's a way to go yet.
Carn the Reds!!!

If Palu gets resigned what happens to Alcock? From what I assume the Tahs only have 1 more back-row spot left for 2011 and they want Cliffy to fill it.
A man like Alcock that can, in theory, cover 3 positions and accounted for himself well in his debut game would surely be a Rebel target. Vic Club rugby doesn't have much Super level talent just yet so having a squad with a few utilities will be a absolute must. Then again, they could pull the same stuff they did with Dennis and "make room".
Also, I've been thinking for a while that when Thomson and Tilse, inevitably, don't get asked back next year they'd be going straight to Rebels. I mean they aren't great players and they probably aren't up to Super standard but they wouldn't cost much and I think it would help the new franchise to have players that are used to a professional set-up.
What do you guys think?

Shame - not a lot of discussion about the game. Here is the blog:
