One of your better articles Christy. Logical thought and insight with interesting take aways.

Five things: Lesson Aussie rugby can learn from Kiwis - and why next month will determine whether SR gap has closed

Creighton can ‘probably’ do it all, but more telling is what will he do …. I can be 99% certain it will involve kicking. Now, if that is an up and under to no one, or a kick out on the full I can’t be sure.

Creighton needs to go. I can’t remember him having 1 game where the negatives didnt outweigh the positives.

It’s chalk and cheese from the Kearnsey and Marto show. Much better analysis. Maloney the hype man and Turinui the engine room. Cut SBW and it will be a force to be reckoned with, “hey bro?”

Lets not go crazy, Louwrens has been playing for a long time in super and hasn’t lit the world on fire. It was a good performance but i think Lonergan/Fines/White still have an edge on him. If he can improve consistency then yes. Tates stocks are dropping pretty quickly.

Point of difference. But if your DC id also be thinking tenure

That was by far his best involvement

If that is the plan i can’t argue too much, but Edmed has definitely had his chances to cement a spot.

My cripe is product vs hype. Very over hearing about how good he is. Still yet to see him do much since that try in his first game.

That would be the game to enjoy mate

Also looks much sharper tham Edmed. I’d have him starting, even before Harrisons performance tonight.

Jorgo still has a lot to learn. Many mistakes and unnecessary offloads, with defense optional whilst on the line.

Hopefully more undercover than Eddies squad notes…

Worst game of the year to the best game! Wow what a match. Nearly broke the tv after the Reds game and wouldnt have seen that incredible finish

Righteo. As I said worth a shot. That doesnt mean locked in for the WB 15. Just that they have either previously or currently playing above super level. Foketi has been excellent innthe gold jersey (although injured frequently), Marky is close to the best WB player over the past 2 seasons and Swinton has played particularly well in super this season since his return. But probably not worth responding to.

Foketi is worth a shot as well as Marky. Swinton is putting his best foot forward.

Yes, BUT a very poor first 25-30. Remember before this the Drua had a full complement of players. That first yellow card completely swung the game. I think the rebels shouldnt go overboard with celebrations – 1 yellow and 2 reds will significantly blunt a teams winning ability. If the Drua were a little more sensible it wouls have been a different game.

'Insane and total stupidity': Drua have two SENT OFF as Rebels score 33 unanswered points to win again

Gordon has a great all round skill set, but for wallabies level the kicking must be taken out of his hands. He has kicks way too many dead and was at <70% kicking accuracy prior to this game.

I wasnt criticising you, just more frustration at Jordy and not growing into the player he could be.

Ravai is a beast. He has really switched on this season. Wish he was Wallabies eligible.

For how long do we say Jordie Peteia – a star player who just needs to hold onto the ball. After what 5 seasons…. I’m not sure he will ever come around. Impressive running, but not Wallabies standard due to error counts.

As a Force fan it is baffling Creighton still gets a gig. He is consistent, but consistently sub-super rugby level. Deep in the pocket, minimal thought and no outcome based kicking erks me like nothing else. I don’t switch on Stan to watch a king of the pack game. Please Les drop him indefinitely.

Olly – super rugby vs international is completely different. They will target him and have massive backrows running lines at him. It happened to Lolesio when he started but he had a few more kgs than Lynagh and at least another season under his belt.
Lynagh took the late hit well, but in gold it would be 4-6x those hits and the blokes confidence will shatter.

Wallabies Power Rankings: How every Test contender is shaping up one month into Super Rugby

I hope Leinster take Topou and his insane salary. He has essentially been an injury magnet and looks very disinterested in playing to his potential. A prisoner of his own talent. Maybe over there he can learn better discipline and get picked fot gold once he has re-earnt his place.
