> Oh yes, good point. I shall pull my head in and leave the thugby to those who find it an interesting way to waste time.

A. It’s Rugby. Thugby is rugby league.

B. Stop wasting your time then, geez!

Nice bell curve on the results so far…

I thought I’d let you save your vote for someone who wants it.

What about a ‘who cares’ option on the voting tab?

Poll is open, someone else on your IP address has already voted on your behalf.

As for Leilifano I think with a dodgy half inside him, and a man out of position on the outside, he didn’t have much of a chance.

With those problems fixed I think he might do much better.

But watch for Toomua coming off the bench.

I’m happy with that eam but I do agree that No. 10 is fast becoming an issue. Johnboy how come the poll closes so fast?

A lot of changes, except the one that really had to be made at No 10. Presume Lealiifano has Friend’s grandmother stashed away in a cabin somewhere upstate..

Good to see Peter Kimlin getting a go with the run-on side too. Go the red-nut! Bay 56 loves ya!!!

Finally Friendy has heeded my advice to replace the cancerous Phibbs for Holmes. But why would you drop Rathbone before Fainifo? Rathbone has been far from stellar, but Fainifo has done nothing in 4 seasons for the Brumbies. Must be a left wing/right wing thing.

I hope Tyrone Smith does well as he has Fairbanks breathing over his shoulder, although the eay Lealifano is going I wouldn’t rule out Fairbanks getting the number 10 jersey before the season is out.

Crush the pansies (or whatever flower it is those boys name themselves after).

Ahhh….that’s better. Mortlock at 13, Gerrard stays at fullback, Tyrone Smith gets a well earned run, Holmes starts at scrumhalf, Ashley Cooper on the wing……lovely! Now, we just have to win.
