LOL at so many Tahs again Didn't they just limp home against the Cheetahs at home?

Sure did. OTOH the Reds were magnificent against the Sharks in Durban. Desperately unlucky not to get the losing bonus point. That team has been a joke since day 1. The South African selection for the whole comp much more credible. No wonder they take the piss out of our media.

So I didnt see any of the other games but it seems as though only our try-scorers made it in to the team this week. Is this the same for Qld? Did they just fill the rest of the places with Tahs or did they play well?

I think Sharpie should be in here!

[GIGS20]

I didn't get much of a look around either Laura, but I wouldn't complain about the s representation this week! The only possible other inclusion is Brownie, and not having seen Palu play I'm not going to make a call there!

I didnt get a look at any of the other games with aussie sides. Apparently the tahs were pretty woeful in the 2nd half. Less said about the Force from friday the better

[AndyS]

Only caught bits of the other games, but I would have expected more Reds - from what I saw, their losing game against the Sharks was a lot better than the Tahs winning against the Cheetahs. I really thought the Reds could do it at one stage.

What about if from now on on Sundays we discuss who we thought was the best players of the week and put out an official TWF team of the week?

[TOCC]

NSW definetly didnt deserve to have that many players represented, i didnt watch all of the Force game so i cant say if any of them were better, but i definetly thought there were some Reds players better then there NSW counterparts.

Peter Hynes played better then Turner, and i would even be tempted to say that Leroy Houston played better then Palu.

What about Crofty? He was everywhere and that try was a gem, burned 'em off on the outside like Habana! Only a moron cold have left him out....hang on..... oh yeah, I forgot.

I've opened a new thread for this week TWF Australian team of the week - Western Force Rugby Supporters Site

queenslands pack stood tall against the sharks yet get only two players in team of week, whats the point of naming a team of week if they keep getting it so horribly wrong

[gustafsl]

Look for NSW players to dominate the list for the rest of the year. How else will Growden be able to justify picking them in his Wallabies 22 if at the end of the year his own rankings don't justify it. Look at a lot of them, Turner, Dunning, Robinson, all only picked once so far, and there are quite a few of them only picked twice. I think Growden will realise this and try to get them up to 4 or 5 times. At least then he could argue that they deserve to make the Wallabies based on form.
