congrats to the tahs!!! it was a good game. But i found it to be a waratah-dominated game!!!

But im sooooo happy that the hurricanes won!!!!

But also "im soooo friggin pissed!!" i cant believe the brumbies lost!!! But then again, their side was full of new, young, players!! They still had a good game. It would have been betta to have won it for finegan, though!!!

The hurricanes won!!!! the crusaders beat the highlanders!!! im sooooo happy!!!!

awwww... poor finegan. last home game for him and they couldn't pull off a win!!! But most of their experienced players were on the bench, so they had a team full of young players who dont really have much experience!!! like, norton-knight, henjak, henjaks replacement, salvi, the no.4, no.5, tawake, horua.

Farewell to Owen Finegan. Top class player he has been for the Brumbies.

I only found out on Sat. that Grey's going to Japan next season.

How many tries has the Crusaders scored this season? It's something ridicolous.

 

[cappen]

alot......i thought the tahs were playin friday nite...it sed so in the paper i think

 

[copious]

Crusaders avgeraged 41.9 points per game, closest was Waraths with 29.7

 

[cappen]

but the crusaders have the 3rd WORST defence as well..the tahs have one of th best

 

[dawso]

yeah, thats typical of the maori/islander style of play, very raw and therefore gud attactkers, but defence is shoddy....

 

[cappen]

the crusaders back line is gud but i wouldnt say the best in the comp....in my opinion the strongest 2 backlines are the Tahs and the Canes

 

[big_ticket]

i'd go the canes...they've got stronger ball runners in the backline who aren't afraid to take it to the line.

 

[samuelblayden]

I think the waratas are going to be the premiers this year

 

[cappen]

well itll b cloooose

And so Tuqiri completely out-performs Wendel yet again.. I don't think I'll ever understand and come to terms with the fact the Wallaby selectors insisted on starting Sailor ahead of super Lote.

Their both over rated... the difference is Lote can preform a little more consistently than Del. Iam a Tahs fan, but Lote isnt as good as Peter Hewitt, yet everyone loves giving Lote huge wraps because of his name...... ohh well.... GO TAHS!

 

[cappen]

no lote is very good and um del plays on the opposite wing to Lote im pretty sure...

 

[Paragon]

Hewat is really good but if you think about it, other teams would target Tuqiri and try and nullify him as best they can. This is Hewat's rookie season so other teams are not gonna place as much emphasis on him as they would on Lote. Hopefully Hewat will be able to reproduce his performances come next season. On a side note, Tuqiri is not overrated. He's the best winger the Wallabies have and that's gotta count for smthg.

hey rathbone is fuckin good too...dnt put him outa the picture

 

[Paragon]

oh yeah Rathbone right of course .. cheers mate

 

[cappen]

my aussie back line


halfback: whits/greegan
flyhalf: larkham
inside: gituo (i cnt spelll it)
outside: mortlock
wings: rathbone/Lote
fullback: rogers

bench: um if whits plays cause gregan is injured then henjak
tirinui
hewatt
latham

Dont get me wrong, Lote is a good player, i like him. Hes just overated. When you think about it, he has good speed, but for a wing he hasnt got a good step. he is utalized more as a battering ram, which is either showing the tahs think he is only good for strong back hit ups or, he is not being properly utalized. However that being said he can do some pretty outstanding stuff, but he is still overated.

Ohh and before i wasnt comparing del and lote for a winger spot on the wallabies, i was just saying what i thought.

Cappen, im sorry to say that after exploding out of the blocks Clyde RathBone has been a bit of a let down... In his first few games he was brilliant, he has slowly gotten worse. Personally, for the wallabies, i would prefer tune on the wing, with either Lote, hewatt (if he keeps up his form) or Mortlock, if it is Mortlock move tirinui in to center.

Go the Tahs!!!

 

[cappen]

rrathbones been injured...its not like he was a one hit wonder...hewat it a utility atm...hes can slot into shit loads of posi's so he is better suited ot he bench for the moment
