what is this team for? was this the team for against the reds?

[no.8]

Team for the Chiefs game - more importantly for a look at what to expect for season 2009!

[robyn <3]

i wish it was the team for the reds... it might have helped to score a little!

[NTT]

all right, this bitterness over the reds game is starting to get rediculous ...... by the way timani cannot be in the same match day 22 as pusey, one of the aru conditions of his citizenship dispensation and why drop brown and cross 2 of our better players all year ( dam got sucked in ) ...... one bad game doesn't mean they've automatically lost their talent.

[force addict]

i dont like it. richard brown isn't starting, neither is sheps. i dont get how haylett-petty is on before ryan cross, sheps, or tatapu..

[BLR]

Lots of inexperience there....we'd be hammered....

[Hoolly Doolly]

BLR told me that Timani got signed to a different oz club for next season?????
I dont agree with FAVA starting at 8 instead of Brown. Fava has been terrible!
And mcisaac was one of the few decent forwards last week.

timani has gone to brumbies? i think?

and i agree that Brownie should start in favour of fava. haha
fava has not been great this season, where as there are talks of brownie making the wallaby squad

[NTT]

timani has signed with brumbies, yes

[Punkpapa]

Not the worst team ever picked - quite like it actually. Give some players a chance to play themselves back up. No Pocock? Very gutsy, but correct I feel. THen again, if we cant have the Pusey in at the same time as Timani - then maybe Pocock needs to be there?

[chiselhead]

Mass sackings won't help. The nucleus of the team is good. On paper it's a pretty good team. Last week was a substandard performance. Brown missed a tackle on Tooheysnewi that lead to a try but I bet it is the only tackle he's missed all year.
It is obvious they weren't focused on the game from the start. A ballsup from the kickoff. The reds win a lineout and score with no opposition. They should have been pumped and full of mongrel at the kickoff. A muffed clearance should have been followed up with a bit more ticker. They knew the drive would be on. Nobody brought it down. The jumper should have been dropped as soon as he came down. They should have muscles up. They didn't because their minds were on their myspace columns or back at the Subiaco hair studio

[jazza93]

next week i want to see

9. Stannard
10. Giteau
11. Shepherd
12. Mckay
13. Cross
14. Staniforth
15. Mitchell

O'connor and Cummins late changes for Mckay and Staniforth

[NTT]

i'll clear it up a little ... timani cannot be in the match day 22 unless there are injuries to alread naturalised players in the same position. therefore for timani to be selected there has to at least two 2nd rowers out injured or unavailable

[force addict]

awww i like it when cummins starts on
