Is the Tah Patrol reforming for this?

Seems Rocky will get his first game against us: http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/s...rss&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed

How good is it to see an Australian rugby team generating supporters that will travel to watch their team. Well done

The Force supporters do it too. Problem is they don't use this forum much though and there support is much different from ours obviously.

Rebels were terrible Saturday so my guess is they will be up for this game, close for 60 minutes with Tahs sealing it in the final 20 for mine.

If the Tahs were capable of taking the opportunities they generated the last couple of ganes then there would be no doubt at all.

Nt sure how I feel bout the rebels, I think they have a major problem in JOC (James O'Connor) especially when things arnt going well. You can't really fault the guy fir wanting the ball in his hands, he is confident, but it seems when things arnt going great they get it to JOC (James O'Connor) then stop and wait fo him to do something ratherthan keeping a structure that would be better in th long run.

Interesting to see Kurts get a touch up to, I know a few of th Tahs boys were a but upset with him for leaving, should be interesting to watch.

Tahs, it's been mentioned in the fierce thread a bit, but I would like to see them go back to last years age plan a but with foley playing the beae roll and swapping with barnes a but more in the front line ands lowing barnes to kick from the back.

Mitch Inman is out with a broken right-hand. Remember seeing his hand strapped on Saturday night, didn't suspect anything at the time. Vuna is back, so Mitchell to outside, Vuna back onto the wing.

Who is in the backs is going to mean bugger all for this match, it is pissing down in Sydney and they are predicting rain all week.

Heavy track with lots of kicking (but less than the Crusaders V Stormers (87 kicks )) out to put pressure on the Rebels set piece is my guess

 

[Richo]

Yep, running rugby it ain't gonna be. Tahs should smash the Rebels through the middle. I'm hoping to see a lot more discipline and fewer unforced errors from the forwards, especially around the ruck.

Rocky Elsom due to make his return this or next weekend

It'll be as dour as the last Rebels match in Sydney which is a shame.

So it looks like Elsom will play from the bench and our backrow will remain the same.

I'd like to see Sitaleki Timani get a start and play Dean Mumm off the bench. Mumm has played 80 minutes in almost every game and a rest makes sense.

Giving Paddy Ryan a start would also be a good idea although there is some talk that he could miss out altogether and Tilse could get a gig on the bench.

I wonder if Jenkins or Lopeti Timani will miss out? If Timani misses out, you'd assume Elsom comes on at 6 and Dennis moves to 8 and Palu goes off. If Jenkins misses out, Alcock plays the whole game and Timani and Elsom can come on at 8 and 6 respecitvely.

I imagine our backline will be unchanged.

Is it true that Lachie Turner has started training again to some extent?

 

[Intruder]

Jenkins will miss out if Rocky is named. Paddy and Sita should get a start soon, Tilse is pushing hard for a bench spot and it wont be long until he gets one.

 

[kronic]

Possible shower, according to the Bureau. 17 overnight, so very mild. Expect similar conditions to the fixture last year.

At the Tahs Family Day late last month, he mentioned that was doing rehab work at that stage.

It's been pelting down the last couple of days. Probably will need the Rebel Army to boost the crowd on Saturday.

 

[Lindommer]

C'mon Tahs supporters, let's get behind our team. I'm going, rain hail or shine, anyone up for a beer at The Local Taphouse after?

 

[waratahjesus]

I'm calling on the Tahs fans to boycott this match and the ones that do attend to only clap politely or make no noise whatsoever in protest over curtseys defection.

Ahh, the old reverse psychology trick. Do what they normally do and see how he reacts. Nice.

No reverse psychology, its much harder to get a large group to be quiet than it is to get them to be loud. It's what makes NSW the best state in Australia at everything.

Beale's not playing for the Tahs any more, and you guys usually only boo your own team, silence is the next best option I guess.
