Dear Lord, if you give us back Johnny Cash, we'll give you Justin Bieber.
Paddy Delit will aquit himself well. Stand out performer last year in Shute Shield Comp. tought to tackle, hard runner. Had probs with hammy in the past, should be good to go in Can berahhh.
never had too much penetration with him out...
Get a room!
I think we can roll these idiots this weekend. I think it will be by 4 as well. This game is crucial, fingers crossed.

Shame about Shep. Hope he's ok. Ndungane took a similar fall (in that infamous tackle) and turned up the following week.
With all the changes in the backs, I hope it doesn't take 75 mins for our backline to gel....
Ndungani got winded.. Sheps got poleaxed... No surprise he's out....

Our tight five don't have any excuses this week, they're an established unit up against one genuine Wallaby, a couple of fringe players and a Sydney club player on debut with one week training with the squad.....if the set piece isn't ours this week we deserve everything Bronski's been saying about us.
Back line should match up pretty well, I'd call it pretty even in the halves, valentine is an overrated gimp, but willie's had a lot of time out and might not be up to scratch. I'd call rabbit about half again the player leiliifano is (and I rate leiliifano)
Outside backs could be interesting, Dellit will be pretty green but looked ok last time he played, Sidey was solid without being spectacular and smith needs a big one, Frankie Fainifo would be the place we're not behind here, so I'd reckon IF the ponies can get the ball outside the 10 reliably they might just run around us all night.......assuming they can hold the ball....our pack should handle that!
I'll be right pissed if we don't exploit Matt Giteau's selfishness and arrogance by running all night at his outside shoulder, he'll call Christian off the tackles and miss a bunch as he gets tired
Force by 7 with a bonus point to rub salt in!

C'ARN THE FORCE...Believe you can do it... !!
Thanks Todd. I think I have seen that before but forgot the website.
Brumbies scrum will be no easy beat- Palmer is a great scrummager and although Alexander hasn't been brilliant neither has Fairbrother.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
