Apparently Higgers got a bad result on his scan today, and will struggle to play any games against the Lions.

deans has invited white to training this tuesday, ffs..beale got invited too, they both should have been in the squad for different reasons but this whole squad selection is a load of bull. 25 get invites, 3 get dropped, 3 come in, a couple of extras get special training invitations and we are waiting for another 6 guys to make up the numbers or maybe 4 or maybe 10... kind of reminds me of girl's tenth birthday party - now lets see who should i invite next as robbie contemplates life??? :mad: ffs have a decent squad of 36 guys to begin with and oppose each other in training
Who the fuck are we to tell an international coach who he can and cannot invite to train.

Is there some sort of unwritten protocol?

The bitching about Robbie is sometimes warranted, and a lot of the time just hysterical, like you just did.

So he calls Phipps in to force the Rebs to play Burgess so he can go have a look at hime. He pulls White in because, after all, any fool can see how good he is and White gets inside track on some of the plans.

Seems to me Robbie knows what he's doing. Anyone can disagree but he is taking advantage of every opportunity to finalise his 23 for the first test. What the fuck is he supposed to do?

As for your 36 guys idea I disagree. What's better, that or let the guys you are not sure about play competitive rugby? Simple answer I reckon.

Are we all just forgetting Hill could just as easily start Stirzaker?????

Burgess wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire in France. By that I mean he wasn't even starting.

Yeah, and that's probably what he's going to do. I reckon he'll start Stirzaker then bring Burgess on at half time.

Well USA as it happens I was at Visy Park today. I am not going to disclose any state sekrits from my beloved team but I will say I may have heard the yell 'Burgo' a time or two.

PS what a great way to spend a quiet afternoon, if you haven't checked out your team training I really recommend it, really nice to see the blokes behind the scenes.

Funny, just got back from Reds training. I'd like to see Stirzaker get the nod. He has played well and honestly has all the right in the world to be pissed if he loses minutes to Burgess.

This is one of the photos posted on the Wallabies facebook.

The interesting bit of insight is the 'Core' meeting at the bottom of the list with Horwill, Moore, Genia and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper).

I guess that gives an indication on who the leaders are within the squad outside of Horwill and Genia.


And now we apparently have our 10 as a defense leader?

We can't question the decisions of those in authority now?

What the fuck are we meant to do? Shut the damn forum down!

Or we can debate with the occasional squabble.

Just got a bit tired of the constant whinging hence my slightly colorful post.

As things are going at the moment, Robbie Deans will leave the seat up in the dunny and there will be a mass meltdown.
