Once again Sullivan was pretty ordinary. I thought I seen an article some time ago where he said he would like a go at half when BK is out. Anyway he doesn't deserve that spot going on his play today. Sully should start looking for a new club now for next year as it would be a traversty if he continued to play and a junior wasn't given a go. When I'm down for the easts game I'm heading out to Henson on Saturday arvo to check out Kingston.

Dykesy often feeds scrums when BK is playing as well. I believe it is on defensive scrums. Scrums inside our own 20-30. Most of these scrums have a bopper at 6 for a hitup style run. That means the 5/8 has to go somewhere. Usually you'll see Vagana or someone pack as lock and the half out ready to attack.

Seems that way to me.

Interesting theory, I haven't noticed that as a regular move, Aries theory seems to make more sense to me, won't know unless I get I get to see it again I guess.

I'm actually quite concerned with the Dykes packing in at lock idea that one day somebody might try the old 'real scrummaging' ploy and push, winning it against the feed and then costing us points. I'd much prefer all the backs outside the scrum to go one on one with the opposition.

We lost one today with a big push over us!

Proved to me again that he is definately not an option at halfback. Hilder went well with a longer stint at hooker too. I wouldn't drop him but some of our PL forwards have to be putting pressure on him.

With Noddy back and if Dykesy is ok, Bird will go back to the bench. Will Isemonger be dropped again? Had limited time today but didn't do his chances of forcing his way back in the side any harm.

You obviously didn't see him lose control of the ball 1st time he touched it Macca. Nuh he was a starter last year and we finished down the table. He's finished.

Travesty? Listen to yourself.

Was that when he passed the ball and it went to ground?

Sully did same great things today and some shocking things. It's hard to rate him because he was playing out of position. Like I said I wouldn't drop him but surely his bench spot is under question with Hilder going so well.

Yeah I thought of that not long after I posted it. Bird to lock and Isemonger stays you reckon?
