SMH- Australian Team of the Week

[jargan83]

All the people have basicly summed it up. I dont think i need to repeat all of it.

TOCC you've been drinking too much XXXX if you think Queensland smashing a very sub-par, struggling bulls outfit that looks a complete shyambles compared to last year is better then the Force winning a game that the very people who pick the "Side of the Week" gave us NO chance of winning, against a side that will be near the pointy of the table at the end of the season.

I look forward to seeing where Queensland finish.

4ish weeks untill the TWF horde descends on Brisbane to see the win their first game on the East Coast of Australia by plenty

[TOCC]

Do you honestly expect on a Force supporters forum to get people thinking the Reds are the best team in Australia while our own team has face challenges much more difficult and came through relatively unscathed...there is no high horse here, only the false-illusion of one Reds win causing the comeback of the Reds of old. (how many years ago would that be?) You need to stop lying to yourself and admit that although the Reds backline fired they were playing a team, despite last years form, had not dealt with the new rules and had simply played rubbish rugby...actually now that I think of it perhaps the high horse is the Forces standing on the ladder in comparison to the Reds by the end of the season, as I said before, good luck in the Republic.

well maybe you should take another look at the actual meaning of 'team of the week', its not the 'best team in Australia' as you seem to think

As i said previously i didnt think some of those players should be there, on the other hand i do think players like Holmes Cordingley and Latham should be there.

So stop being such a sensitive little bitch and just cop it on the chin.

Latham got binned... shouldn't that automatically take them out of contention?

you would think so wouldn't you

[TOCC]

i think many of you are completely misreading what i am saying..

would someone show me where i have said the Reds are the best australian team?

how about where i said the Reds are better then the Force?

I might have said they had a chance to beat them in the trials a month ago, but i have definetly not being saying it since the Reds beat the Bulls...

Should I move this to the jokes section??

It reminds me when Tooheys had the player of the week nomination and Wendell was still getting top award even after he was suspended

When was the last time anyone of TWF bought the SMH in Perth, other than when they were short of toilet paper?

Probably about the same time anyone in Queensland did, Ox. It's just that the Tahs had a bye. It's starting to become a bit amusing, really. The Force have been anointed as the dastardly demonic invaders from the west and that's that. It's all good. Nothing like a bit of interstate rivalry to get the blood pumping on game day. Not to mention selling seats at the ground.

Besides, Grumbles probably gets a kick from reading the howls of protest here every Monday, so why make that prick's day?

Sure the team of the week is a good idea, but it has been shown to be used as a publicity stunt to sell papers on the east coast.

We usually use the West when we run out over here

[shasta]

Surprise, surprise. They actually printed it.

From Rugbyheaven blogsite:

Why is everyone so upset? This pair of muppets dish up ridiculous selections EVERY week. No Tahs this week so they get people stirred up by picking a predominantly Qld Team of the Week.Grumbles, you sure are a master baiter.

Nobody was more surprised than me GIGGS. Just hope the chief pie eater reads it.

I'd say the only thing he reads is his own columns....

Each week, Greg Growden and Rupert Guinness pick Australia's form players of the round.

Do you agree?

15 Cameron Shepherd (Force) (1)
14 Scott Staniforth (Force) (1)
13 Ryan Cross (Force) (3)
12 Tyrone Smith (ACT) (2)
11 Drew Mitchell (Force) (2)
10 Matt Giteau (Force) (4)
9 Sam Cordingley (Qld) (2)
8 Richard Brown (Force) (3)
7 David Pocock (Force) (1)
6 Mitchell Chapman (ACT) (2)
5 Nathan Sharpe (Force) (5)
4 Mark Chisholm (ACT) (2)
3 Guy Shepherdson (ACT) (2)
2 Tai McIsaac (Force) (2)
1 Sekope Kepu (NSW) (2)

Player of the round: RICHARD BROWN. The Force No 8 was basically everywhere and
rewarded by being among the tryscorers.
Try of the round: MARK CHISHOLM. An excellent solo try by the Brumbies

Look at the amount of Force players! They must have got a ringer in to make the picks!
