Growden looks to have abandoned his beloved Tahds and jumped on the Reds gravy train.

I question

Thoughts?

[Burgs]

As impressed as I was with his cameo, it's a pretty major call to be putting a 20 minute reserve into #12.

Sharpie has to be there again from what i saw and recall..... oh yeah sorry cant have him in the team will look like its double standards with the ARU...

[GIGS20]

Ok, so who did he compete against.

Gene, probably worth considering
Whoever played for the Rebels - there was a reason the rebels didn't get a player in the team
Tom Carter - didn't do much at all
And of course Anthony Faingaa, who Harris definitely outplayed.

So, whilst I could argue for gene, I think Harris is a call I could live with.

I have a lot more trouble coping with inclusive like Simmons over cummins, Faingaa over any hooker in the game, Daley and slipper over Tim and pek.

My opinion though

[shasta]

I dunno why anyone bothers with Grub's Team of the Week anymore. How can you rationalise the ramblings of a pie munching hack who doesn't know his arse from his elbow?

[GIGS20]

Well he knows enough not to put any Brumbies or tahs in this week

[shasta]

Let's just hope he's left with the same lack of choice every week from now till June.

[James]

I was having a bit of a chuckle about the Tahs fans commenting on Tom Carter being their best player in the Cheetahs game.

You know you are playing really badly when a guy who doesn't do anything was the best player.

James in ahead of Quade - someone slipped something into Grumbles pie this morning. My jaw hit the floor when I saw

[James]

Quade wasn't that great. The Rebels were just far worse.

Don't see why Sharpie was missed out..but what does he know anyway???
