I thought Prior was definitely still the better halfback which is disappointing as I was expecting more from Fines by this stage. Our lineout should be a big strength so hopefully we can build a...

Personally I think it is a bit harsh to sign someone and refer to them as a potential bench player
I am sure Hegarty would have his sights set on better than that such taking over at 15 from...

Great signing, still in prime of his career at 26
Looks like Milner Skudder to me, would be happy with that
Great results, shame we don't get to test ourselves against QLD or NSW, seems like a missed opportunity
Hopefully it is just rumours and he will be re-signed, he definitely showed enough at the end of the year to continue. Hopefully we are not looking at signing Phipps for a 1 year contract. He has...
Very surprised with some of those selections, especially Pugh and McCauley. Didn't really rate McCauley but he did play a couple of good games towards the end. Pugh is a huge bolter, but good on...
Hopefully Anstee and Kaituu get a look in with Aus A as well
Yeah good point I guess that is the key, we have lost a significant amount of leadership
Yeah we do need a number 8 but was hoping for better. Not much of a step up from stander really and only 3 years younger. I guess depth is a good thing and hopefully this is just the entree to...
Yes I think we are going to have to go hard for Sio. He has gone off the boil a bit the last couple of years but recent form has been better and there are not many other options
Sio also leaving Brumbies with no announcement of where he is going
Nick Phipps has left london Irish to “pursue a new opportunity abroad”.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it is us, for him to have one last crack at a World Cup squad. Would expect us to start naming...
Yes easily McCauley's best game he has ever played for us. I was gettign worried that he was just good tall timber in the lineout and offered nothing around the ground but yesterday his lineout...
I think Sampson has just lost the plot now.
A winger at centre, a lock at number 8, a hooker at flanker, a flyhalf at full back. Prior, Kahui and Thrush all starting, for what benefit. ...
I completely agree with the comments around not enough depth and that there should be another tier but we shouldn't also ignore the fact that the Waratahs have turned things around very well in 1...
Will be interesting to see which approach we take
a) raid the other aussie teams (e.g. Faingaa plus others)
b) try get players back from overseas (e.g. Kerevi, Hockings, McMahon etc)
or
...
Surprised they didn't give Kahui the start against his old side
Personally I think Koteka and Callan have been 2 of our best this year so will struggle without them
The WACA is not used for anything, they should convert that for a few months of rugby and soccer
Yes definitely looking unlikely now. I wrote that on the 24th before the highlanders beat the Drua and Reds, so they look home now with a bit of form and good run home.
Hopefully that means...
We can't afford a forfeit if we want to hold on to 8th spot ahead of the Rebels and Highlanders. Not sure finishing 8th out of 12 teams to make finals is much to be proud of but would rather be in...
Checked the ladder today, hard to believe we are still holding on to a finals spot, not really deserved. 8 teams in finals in a 12 team comp is a bit excessive I think.
Anyway we need to hold...
Definitely and the problem is even worse at the moment because these guys are not even getting game time with their clubs due to Covid Protocols. So you have young guys like Makara and McDonald who...
Very sad to see Tim go but I understand the decision. I believe they have done it the right way, as much as these things can be done. They have not sacked him, he is just finishing out his...
Yes definitely not a surprise to most. Hodge should have been chucked on the scrap heap with him, he is just lucky there are not many other fullback options
