Why isn't Arnold in the team?
When you don't have pay TV, you can't watch a lot of rugby here.
Rodda is a solid player. I don't think Arnold would necessarily fix our lineout issues or anything - he's a big unit but maybe a bit stringy for all that.

@act-crusader and Blake Gibson at 7!
And apparently Weber at halfback is the ‘answer’

@nepia let me just say the fit was tight and she isn't shy of showing it. Think she was a bit of an ugly duckling in high school (back before I knew her). Now of course she's hot but a bit high-maintenance*, and a tad slender for my tastes. That's OK because I'm not fucking her, just looking at her.
*I refer to her as Imelda Marcos after the wife of the Philippino dictator for two decades starting in the 60s, and her reputed shoe collection of over 3000 pairs.

Amazing what happens when the ref watches both sides of the scrum
When did he do that?

Well, shit. BB with the statement game. Good on him, because he was awesome. I loved, loved, that dummy and run when Hooper pushed up and shut down the outside shovel pass - "Fuck it, it's mis-match anyway, I'm gone".
BFA was all kinds of awesome tonight, and I thought that Squire had one of his best games in the black jersey.
I'lll rewatch that game tomorrow and definitely write something, about someone or someones. I'm tempted to look at Goodhue, who I thought was a few shades off the awesomeness of last week.

@rancid-schnitzel Queenslanders aren't a race.
They'd need more chromosomes and less fingers.

Good Lord, who knew?
"St Bonocock is their man of the match ."
... after being dispatched tonight as effectively as he was in 2011!? Objectivity absent.
One of the more recent comments, on the gap between these two teams, demonstrates just how uninformed so many of our local fans are:
"is it widening or closing though? our backs have been shovelling the ball for a number of years, yet even their front rowers know how to draw and pass and how to run into space. we keep picking unbalanced teams and players who can't perform the basics of their position. a circuit breaker is needed"
The circuit breaker was due after 2003 but the ARU got distracted working on fabric colours and boardroom table size for the new headquarters, after near breaking their arms patting each other on the back for banking $43 million from the World Cup. Bret Robinson and someone else won fancy titles as director of elite player footpaths or something - corner office, nice four wheel drive, long lunches with player agents - but the footpaths didn't carry a lot of traffic. The ARU tried a bit of catch up by shovelling money at fading League stars, when that faded they signed up three wunderkind who could neither pass reliably nor tackle for a half million each, ramping up to three quarters of a million, and all was well in Australian rugby until the ARU discovered it wasn't. We are not long out of that phase and Michael Cheika is supposed to arm the squad with these quaint old skills inside two years? Aaarrrrggghhh!

So are all the people that were bitching about Barrett last week, are you satisfied or do you still want to drop him?
