Tim Walsh’s departure form the women’s team seems conveniently timed around Andy Friends contract expiry.

Tim Walsh to swap from the Women’s to the Men’s team perhaps?

AUSTRALIAN Sevens rugby captain James Stannard is in a stable condition in hospital after being coward punched last night. He is conscious and escaped major injury. Police have a 22-year-old in custody

Disgusting, cowardly attack on an elite sportsman.

Nothing good happens after midnight

I disagree..........

.....3:00am. WTF were they doing out at that hour?

People are often out at 3am..........

...3:00am. WTF were they doing out at that hour?

How many successful teams in the middle of their season,have their coach,captain and most experienced player out and about at 3am.....

 

[Slim 293]

They have a fortnight off, and were at a team function earlier in the night..............

But it doesn't really matter, because it's like blaming a rape victim for what they were wearing.

not at all, I never suggested that Stannard deserved what he got.
My point stands,that no successful coach kicks on with a group of players after an official function in the middle of the season.
You say they have a fortnight off,I say they have the Commonwealth Games in 2 weeks.

Stannard has a fractured skull, let’s not make this a witch hunt over the coach

 

[Inside Shoulder]

Hows is it a witch hunt? We know who the coach is.

Horrible coward act

New thought totally unrelated, wtf was he doing out at 3am??

Not allowed to ask that, apparently. Although that was my first reaction. Coogee is not the most salubrious location in the city at 3 am, I would have thought. It would be interesting to know what the crime statistics are, particularly those about alcohol (or drug) fuelled violence.


I am sure that all of us are just gutted by this horrible crime, and it does seem like a natural reaction to look for lessons that could be drawn from this incident. I bet his family is.

Don't commit random acts of violence?
