    Kiwi Squad for ANZAC Test

    Disappointing. They should have picked Hunt and given the press a field day.

    Harmichael Kunt to debut

    Like your play on words clontaago, clever. <bg> Taken up a job as ARL spokesperson? Born in NZ, raised in NZ. He should be playing for NZ. From a career viewpoint, would a player do better playing State of Origin and for Aust than for NZ? What's in Hunt's career interests? See a...

    Monas to play against Tigers

    Monas has been cleared of a broken hand and will play. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,18989145-23214,00.html

    Harmichael Kunt to debut

    You've missed the point. Hunt's selection is not about picking the best player available for Australia - it's about picking the best player available for NZ. One way to beat NZ is to strengthen our side. The other way is to weaken theirs.

    Tahu

    Think again clontaago. Dunley had come across and was directly between Tahu and the goal line. And Bell was between Tahu and Morrison and came in to Tahu. As it turned out neither Bell nor Dunley was needed in the Tahu tackle, because he was stopped, for once, one-on-one.

    Travis Burns

    The greatest five-eighth, the greatest player, and arguably the best coach this club has ever seen, Bob Fulton, endorses Burns and reckons we should sign him up now. I happen to agree with the great Bozo on this one. I have a sense of deja vu - when the world was saying we should sign...

    Interchanges - WHY?

    And King and Kite would have made an impact 10 minutes later, Stillman. The players on the field did get them back into the game after all, taking the score from 16-0 to 16-12 in the leadup to half-time.

    Interchanges - WHY?

    If that's the case, then that implies Des doesn't have faith in his bench. They needed fresh legs yesterday. If the faith isn't there, then some more salary cap money may need to go to bench recruitment.

    Interchanges - WHY?

    Des made some half-time interchanges yesterday. Not the first time. I just don't get it WHY???? Given there's a ten minute halftime break, whoever was on the field before half-time should be left on the field after half-time. They can give their all for say 10 minutes and then be replaced...

    Tahu

    Timana Tahu cut up Manly yesterday, consistently. Finger shouldn't be pointed at Bell because it was almost all players who struggled. Bell's error came when he became the third player tackling Tahu, when he should have stayed out on Morrison, giving Morrison an easy run to the line. Can...

    David Rose

    I'd be interested to know what the Dessie, the players and other coaching staff thought. I wouldn't mark Roach on memory or how he conducts himself in the media, or if his first love is the Tigers. If he gets results, then he's doing the job. The forwards are working well. Who do you...

    Watmough

    One of the tips Aussie Rules coaches give when players are having difficulties marking is to watch the ball onto the hands. It's not a natural thing to do, and it takes conscious effort to retrain yourself to do it. If you watch the slow-mos of Federer and Hingis, you'll notice that their...

    Watmough

    Some extra training with an Aussie rules team, and I suspect they may give him some tips to correct his handling problems.

    Watmough

    Agreed, Wheel. Wasn't having a go at Watmough. He made some great metres yesterday, and was probably unlucky not to have won the game himself (without the need for a field goal) on his attacks at the try line. Just think he needs some technical help in a couple of areas, and it's frustrating...

    Travis Burns

    Totally agree Wheel. Lyon is all class. He'd add a new attacking dimension to the team. And I'd LOVE to see him in Maroon & White. And it's a matter of how much are we willing to pay and can the money be better spent elsewhere. We have some possible huge holes to fill in the forwards next...

    Watmough

    Whilst not playing badly, it's no surprise Watmough's name is not getting mentioned in rep team selections. I think he'll run into some form later in the season. He was unlucky not to score three time yesterday, and with a bit more confidence may well have done. But they are two areas where...

    Second-half atmoshphere - brilliant

    Didn't go to the game, but I was stunned with the Manly crowd support on TV. Manly fans have never been good travellers and I'm used to being significantly outnumbered for all games away from Brookie. But despite Manly only being in front in the 78th minute, the crowd support was dominantly...

    Congratulations BK and Beaver, TEST team announced

    KH (or HK as you put it, ants) should definitely not be in test team calculations. Off the top of my head, I'd place Bowen, Ingliss, Stewart and probably Hodgson ahead of him. Even though Bowen didn't have his best game on the weekend he'd be first pick of these. I can only assume they...

    Cuthbo's Defence

    Cuthbo's Defence Cuthbo's mobility was found wanting a couple of times yesterday. A fitness thing? Reminded me of the days of Stringer, et al, where players would jog when a sprint was needed. The Parra fullback, Wade McKinnon, flashed past him whilst he slowly jogged to cover the gap...

    Hookers

    Dunley: "a good game, a very good game" Ray Warren's summary. The footy experts on TV consistently gave him a rap. Monas got injured at 20 minutes and Dunley took over until virtually the death. Made very good metres from dummy half. Gave good service. Dunley's two missed tackles I saw...
