I guess Spring tour is typically used for a bit of this sort of stuff.....good on him.

Now it only remains for Bret Harris to decry this as the end of civilisation as we know it!

good to see greg holmes being reconsidered for the tour, hopefully he can put the injuries of the last couple of season behind him....

If Deans and assistants are taking 35 players on a spring offensive to the Northern fields I welcome some new comers to the squad... I observed Deans and Williams at the Wicks vs. Gordon match last weekend checking out the stocks...

There’s also talk of some mid week matches…. Remember the Ospreys and Knuckles Oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh cold chills…

Nick Cummins has been playing for Randwick hasn't he? I know he isn't experienced enough for a test spot but he'd have a red hot go in the midweek games. He's fast, bloody hard to bring down and a great tackler. He's maybe a bit short in his kicking game but he's pretty great at everything else.

I've got two copies of the DVD if anyone wants to re live the loss.

C'mon give Newport a crack on a Wednesday. Been a while since we knocked of the Aussies.

First start at Flyhhalf and one poor pass which was intercepted.... Coach Knuckles was a cock for not supporting a developing player into a new playmaker position... the poorest coaching i have ever witnessed... Connolly is a joke and a fool... if Deans was to do the same to JOC he would never play in the Wallabies again...

Cummins is on the bench at the Wicks... he isn't a Wallabies player (yet)... another season or so and we'll see what he can do... He didn't get involved last weekend at the wicks he wouldn't have impressed Deans who was there ( but he knew that).... Franky is the up and comer winger in Australian rugby...

"I want Digby, I want Digby" Does anyone else want to take up the chant with me. The only Australian winger I seen make major distance in this years S14, and yes I know he played at 13 for games but still!

you have two kinds of players, those who rise to the challenge and those who crumble under the pressure.....
