As for paying out Beale, chances are he will be replaced by Halangahu, and when that happens I'll let you guess where he'll go to ply his trade :D . As for Berrick Barnes, like Cooper he cuts it for the wallabies, a side that while maybe not up to the lofty heights of the club teams you mentioned (ORLY?) still manages to beat their rep sides, you sure make an interesting assessment mate. [/b][/quote] The only assesment I'm making, mate, is that it ****** me off when a guy that has apparently [b]never[/b] seen a player play in his team comes out of the blue and post a definitive judgement like that. Matt Giteau's form hasn't been immaculate this season for the Force, and Berrick Barnes is there because you can't have only one 10 in the squad. Anyway,the important point is that I have seen the games, while some haven't. [/QUOTE]
