Just to add a little further information around how sensitive the brain is to repeated impact, and how little was known about it in the past, I remember, about 15 years, being in London and watching a documentary on TV that was exposing how something like (I can't remember the exact details, but...

I agree, plus I was talking to the President of one of the successful clubs (ie: no risk of demotion), a few weeks ago and he said that there was going to be change, then quickly changed the subject.

I think you're spot on here. Deans, for all his failings (whatever there were) is an enthusiastic and committed rugby man - he really believes in the beauty of the whole thing. I know that this will never happen, for a number of reasons, but it would be great if he was retained by the ARU to...

I understand what you're saying, and agree re: the vitriol, and since you are a Brumbies supporter you may well have a better radar on Jake White - maybe you know people close etc, but somehow I don't think that will phase him - didn't he face "player power" when he first went to the Brumbies...

The missing piece being McKenzie to Melbourne. I suspect you have similar information to me, which is from a reasonably reliable source.(would be more confident if Bill Pulver had told me, what what can you do! - final straw being senior players finally had enough of juvenile behaviour by...

Grey was pretty much the same as old - obviously a little slower and didn't hit as hard, but still fit, ran straight and hard and tackled well - eventually nearly knocked himself out in a tackle and came off in the second half. Walker was the same as old - incredibly skillfull - we never got...

A quote from the Australian in 2011. " ... Deans revealed that he had passed up a career as a maths and economics teacher to work in food distribution businesses..." He may have come from a farming family, but I don't think he ever was one. still, he is frustratingly inarticulate.

go to : http://www.rugbynews.net.au/ there's a section there that is last weeks Shute Shield program. Click on it and go the the very last page of the document - it has the team lists there.

Ok, so he has form - thanks for the info. Hadn't really been following the Reds this year so was unaware of those - bad look then.

Out of interest, and I don't know the answer before I ask, this is, at least, the second time you've made this accusation in this forum. I assume one was the current situation, what were the other two? Any proof?

Ha, check out the team lists - apparently Lote Tuquri is playing for Japan - and there I was thinking he was injured and couldn't play for the Tigers. Maybe it's another guy...... hmmm

Don't be threatened by that one - the eccentric bearded guy who hosts it, Costa, is a Waverley college old boy and referees a fair bit around Sydney. Seen him in action a few times and he's not bad - so there's a rugby connection there. We'll take those ratings as well!

This is my 3rd Lions campaign as a Wallabies supporter. I was there we won the 84 grand slam. I was there when we won the Bled 3 - 0 (plus many many others). I was there when Campese threw his pass. I was there when Harrison made his steal. I was there when England won the RWC and I'll be...

Lily is this in relation to Luke Jones? I thought, as a junior, he played in the same Manly Roo's team as Michael Hooper and Tom Kingston - maybe he's more of a Manly junior.

How times change. In the 1970's I played u 15's and 16's in the Parramatta comp (from a merger with another comp) and the Parramatta teams were: Northmead Westmead Wentworthville Baulkham Hills Merrylands Dundas Valley (no fun those games!) Whatever happened to them? They were all strong...

Yes I did see that game and it's an interesting question. It's always difficult, in fact impossible, to compare teams based on games against different competitors, and also when your own team is different as well. Not in any way to offer excuses for last weekend, but there were some Norths...

As a Norths supporter who was present at the Colts games on Saturday I would like to say that this report is a load of absolute one-eyed nonsense ..... unfortunately I can't, it's spot on. Manly totally dominated across the park. Many of the Norths guys tried hard, but it just wasn't enough -...

Thanks I.P thats interesting - makes you wonder how they knew the individual travel logistics capabilities of each team if they hadn't consulted with the GM's? - this whole thing has a very nasty smell to it - don't know why, but it does .........

Does anyone know if the decision about Colts 3 is final? With the two byes already built into the first rounds that makes 9 games for the season, in total, for some clubs - you play 14 when you're 8 or 9 years old - so what started out as 17 games is now 9!!!!!!!!! Now, before I start, the...

Yes, indeed he was. Played half back in the first 15. My son played against him from 13's up. Gallop was pretty much always at the games and seemed comfortable in the environment - his son was a good player I thought
